System fields
Some fields that are built into a BIRT report do not have corresponding IBM TRIRIGA business object fields.
The following table contains system fields with special names that have special meaning to
the IBM TRIRIGA-BIRT integration.
| System field | Usage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| system__recordIds | Data set input parameter for business object data sets. Report input parameter for form reports. |
Comma-delimited list of record IDs that control the records that are returned from form reports. Required if you do not use the system_recordId input parameter. |
| system__recordId | Data set input parameter for business object data sets. | Numeric value that represents a single record to return from a business object data set. For a query report, this field is required. For a form report, this field is required if you do not use the system_recordIds input parameter. |
| system_parentRecordId | Data set input parameter for query data sets. Data set input parameter for smart section data sets. Report input parameter for query report. |
Provides record context to reports and data sets. For smart sections, system_parentRecordId is a required value that controls which record's section data to return. For query data sets, the system_parentRecordId provides the $$RECORDID$$ and $$PARENT variables that are used in an IBM TRIRIGA query definition. |
| system__recordId | Output column for all types of IBM TRIRIGA data sets. | Every IBM TRIRIGA data set has an output column named system_recordId. The column contains the record ID of the returned record. The only case where this column is returned with a NULL value is for a non-pass through reference with modified smart section. In that case, there is no corresponding IBM TRIRIGA record. |
| system__sourceRecordId | Data set output column for smart section data sets. | Every smart section data set has an output column that is named system_sourceRecordId. The value holds the data that a smart section record was initialized from, which is called the source record. The system_sourceRecordId helps to differentiate the section record from the source record. |
