Hi all,
I am having some difficulty with the Central Management Console (CMC) when scheduling a report I created.
The report contains one sub-report with a stored procedure to generate the data. This stored procedure has 5 parameters including region and city. In the main report I implemented cascading parameters for region and city and passed their values to the parameters of the stored procedure for the sub-report. All of this works fine within Crystal Reports when I run the report and even when I use the "View" option in CMC. However when I use the "Schedule" option in CMC to schedule the report and I am setting the parameters for the report, there is some odd behavior. The first parameter shows two values, one for region and one for city (this is fine). The next parameter is a string variable. When I try to set this parameter, I am prompted again with the cascading parameters for the region and city. This messes up all the parameters and if I continue to set the other parameters, I am prompted to give a value for the previous parameter.
Why am I being prompted twice to enter a value for the cascading parameters? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. I thought about using the cascading parameters as filters in the Crystal Report itself but this causes the report to be slow as a lot of data is brought back from the stored procedure before filtering.
P.P.S. I am using Crystal Reports 2008
