Error description

  • When saving a report with a prompt page (Run with Options ->
    Save Report), after selecting the prompt parameter values, a
    confirmation page is displayed that displays "You selected to
    run <report_name> as follows:" and lists the settings and
    parameters for the report run.??The prompt parameters on the
    confirmation page do not seem to be displayed in any particular
    order. They are not listed in the order they appear on the
    prompt page, the order they are created in the report,
    alphabetical or numerical order.??For example, I create a report
    with a prompt page that has 5 prompts: p1, p2, p3, p4, p5. I
    save the report, select run with options, save report, select
    prompt values on the prompt page, and click Finish. The
    Confirmation Page is displayed, and instead of listing the
    parameters in the order they appear on the prompt page, they
    appear in the following order: p5, p1, p4, p2, p3 (this order
    may not always be same, this is an example).??The customer would
    like these parameters to be listed in the same order they appear
    on the prompt page of the report. ??The strange order will also
    appear in the run history details of the report.

Comments

  • In current Cognos BI product, as noted, prompts are not stored a
    nd handled in a deterministic order.  The current design does no
    t provide sufficient information about prompts/parameters for a
    consistent order to be maintained across different interfaces in
     which these are exposed.  If you wish, an enhancement requestin
    g that the order presented in reports always be maintained when
    prompts are presented can be logged for consideration in an upco
    ming release of Cognos BI.
