how to make mandatory parameter field

[robert.tsang]

hi,

i am new to jasper report. i just created a report with few parameters, but i can't find any properties that i set to make the parameter field to be mandatory. can ayone advise me?

Its already mandatory, whenever you create a parameter in report and try to run report, it will ask for parameter value irrespective of whether you are using that parameter in your report or not, if you do not pass any thing it will take null as value.

hi 

you want the parameter to be mandatory while executing the report in the Jasper Server ?

if yes then it is the built-in functionality in the server

When you edit the report in the server you have controls & resource in that you can see an option Always Prompt check box.Default it is checked(Mandatory)

 

Thanks

hi B Rama,

thanks for the reply.

this report is to be deployed on JDA WM (formerly known as RedPrairie).

This is what i do to deploy the report :

1. create the report from laptop using iReports Designer 5.5.1

2. copy the jrxml file to the server report path.

3. create the report on JDA WM and point to this jrxml

4. the parameters created are displayed there.

 

i am not sure what you mean by built-in functionality in the server, Control & Resource.

Can you guide me please?

hi 

I don't know about the JDA WM.

After deploying the report into Jasperserver. go to the report path in the Server and click on the edit button after that on the left side of that page you can see the control & resources ,click on that.

If your report has the parameters then you can see the paramters on the control & resources page.

 

Thanks

hi B Rama,

the Edit button, Control & Resource all these can be found at which program on the server? is it iReports program on the server? or is there a program called JasperReport Server on the server?

sorry i don't have much knowledge on the server.
