BIRT/Reporting - Problem: How to get the values of a dataset (dpNames)

Post by mmz »

Hello together,

I am new to Birt but how do I get the values from a list which i got with the wsdl-request dpNames???

I tried with reportparameter (put the dpNames in it, that works) but nevertheless it does not seem to work and the application WCCOAreporting chrashes on server site.

Are there another possibilities to get the values of a list of datapoints?

Please help!

Thanks.

Hello Michael,

i guess you want to get a range of DPs with dpNames and have a dpGetPeriod value list for all of the DPs which are in the result of the dpNames (?)

While you can use the result of the dpNames in a reporting parameter, you can only choose one of them to be used in a dpGetPeriod data set as it cannot have multiple input parameters at once.

What would work (its some effort):
Use several dpGetPeriod data sets (one for each value you want to display), you can copy them easily btw.
Have a reporting parameter for each of them.

Then you can get the list of values in OA and use URL parameters as report inputs.
Have a look at the Demo Application, there is a Reporting Panel that uses that method.
You just have to be careful with URL encoding.
Your dont have to use the WebView EWO, you also could open a browser (https://portal.etm.at/index.php?option= ... 16&id=2713).

Hello,

no, I don't want the period/range (history) of one datapoint.
I just wanted to get the online_value of each datapoint in my list, which I had as result of dpNames.

Today in the morning I do achieved that with dpQuery!

This issue can be closed.

Hello Michael,

glad to hear you could solve it and thx for clearing that out.

A query example is also provided in the version (e.g. \\data\\Reporting\\Templates\\BIRT\\dpQuery_Value_Bar_2D.rptdesign).
