    Bug in Jasperserver inputcontrols with parameter usage

     

    Problem

    Usage of parameter in query which is not inputcontrol for the report produces empty inputcontrol

     

    Case:

    In resourcefolder we defined following inputcontrols:

    • DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL -> parameter: $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL}

    • DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY -> parameter: $P{DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY}

    • SUBDEPARTMENT -> parameter: $P{SUBDEPARTMENT}

     

     

    Query for DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL – value DEPARTMENT_CODE

    SELECT

    DEPARTMENT_CODE

    , DEPARTMENT_NAME

    FROM ORGANISATION

     

    Query for SUBDEPARTMENT – value SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE

    SELECT

    SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE

    , SUBDEPARTMENT_NAME

    FROM ORGANISATION

    WHERE 1=1

    AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE=$P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END

     

    We would like to include the following:

    AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END

     

    Main Problem:

    If the parameter in the query is not one of the inputcontrols on the report then the query does nothing (the inputcontrol is completely empty)

     

    For this we have to create the following set of inputcontrols:

    • SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL

    • SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY

     

    For usage in combination on report A:

    • DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL

    • SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL

     

    For usage in combination on report B:

    1. DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY

    2. SUBDEPARTMENT_ DEPARTMENT_ MANDATORY

     

    Bigger problem:

    • We have sometimes reports with 5+ parameters/inputcontrols depending on each other, however these inputcontrols are in mixed usage for different reports

     

    Due to the main problem we have to make all kind of inputcontrols for all kind of combinations.

     

    Our request:

    Allow usage of parameters in the inputcontrol queries which are not used as an inputcontrol on the report. (the parameter has to be defined as parameter on the report)

     

    In that case we can do:

    Inputcontrols

    1. DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY

    2. SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL

    3. EMPLOYEE_MANDATORY

     

    Query for EMPLOYEE_MANDATORY – value EMPLOYEE_CODE

    SELECT

    EMPLOYEE_CODE

    , EMPLOYEE_NAME

    FROM ORGANISATION

    WHERE 1=1

    AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE=$P{DEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END

    AND CASE WHEN $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN DEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{DEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END

    AND CASE WHEN $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} IS NOT NULL THEN SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_OPTIONAL} ELSE 1=1 END

    AND CASE WHEN $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} IS NOT NULL THEN SUBDEPARTMENT_CODE = $P{SUBDEPARTMENT_MANDATORY} ELSE 1=1 END
