Dynamic Connections
For some systems it is useful for reports to prompt for
connection information at run time. In this way a report user can
specify where data is coming from at run time.
To achieve this, a connection needs to be modified by the System
Administrator to be dynamic. This is an advanced administrative
function. To achieve this the System Administrator modifies any of
the connection properties using free text in a PROMPT format or a
PICKLIST format. If a PROMPT is used then a user is simply prompted
to enter free text for the information required. For a PICKLIST the
user is supplied with choices for the information.
When the user supplies a given piece of information Sage
Intelligence Reporting offers the facility to cache the information
for the remainder of the session. If the user chooses to cache the
information then they will not be asked for the information again
and the cached information will be assumed for all subsequent
references to the connection. The text that the System
Administrator must enter for a PROMPT is in the format:
PROMPT=
For example:
In the Server Property of a SQL Server connection type the
following: PROMPT=Please specify server name
The user will then be prompted at run time with a dialog box
with the prompt: Please specify server name.
The text that the System Administrator must enter to supply the
user with a PICKLIST is in the format:
PICKLIST=;::;::;::
For example in the Access Database (*.mdb) field type:
PICKLIST=Where is Your
Data;Office::X:\Data\Filofax2002.mdb;Online::Z:\Data\Filofax2002.mdb;At
Home::C:\Data\Filofax2002.mdb
