Enhancements (RSD-1510-OLIB15678)

IMS Ref Description
OLB-15628

The number of run time parameters for a report has been increased to 17.

OLB-15629

The query section (specifically the SQL fields on the main report definition and in the Report Section records) has been increased from 4,000 characters to 1,048,576 (1MB).

OLB-15628 Improve the Export to Excel in OLIB Reports.
OLB-15686

Provide a mechanism to associate a set of parameters with a schedule to run a report, so that you only need one report, but can schedule it to run, for example, several times on a Monday each for a different location.

This has been achieved by adding actions on the Report History records:

  • "Schedule with current parameters" will schedule the report according to the setings on the Report Scheduling sheet to use the parameters given for the selected Report History record.
  • "Cancel schedule" will cancel the scheduling on the selected Report History record.
  • "Copy parameter values" will copy the values given on the selected Report History record to the Report Header, allowing the previewing and adjustment of the parameters if desired.

On the Reports hitlist there is a new action - "Merge Reports". This will combine the selected reports into one, copying the parameter values to scheduled history records on the remaining report. When executed, this action will first prompt for which of the selected reports should be kept.

 Caution: The merge action does not carry out any validation on the suitability of the parameters for the report that is being kept and will merge reports that have very different definitions.

OLB-15720 Provide a mechanism to allow a script to run before a report gathers its results.
