New Workspace Dataset Parameter Properties

Hello,

 

I am not able to edit the parameter on a dataset in the settings of the New Workspace environment. I published the same report to both versions of the workspace and I am able to make the appropriate change in the first version; however, unable to edit the text in the latest version. This is an incredibly important feature when trying to switch between dev, test, and prod environments for SQL Servers. 

 

Thank you,

  • Hi there

    Can you confirm if your Parameter data type is set to Text or Any?

    If it is set to Any it will be greyed out.

      Thank you - I thought I had the parameter set to text when I published to the Service but it must have been published as Any. I published as text and was able to edit the parameter. I did get an error; however, this could be due to a different issue I am having with unsupported data sources for refresh...

       

      Maybe you can help with this issue I am having:

       

      I have 30 reports that have typically 5+ SQL Server connections to a server that needs to be migrated due to a version update of our ERP. I've been trying to engineer a solution to be able to toggle back and fourth between servers for all of the connections in all of my reports using the following logic:

      1. I created a table with two columns [Server],[Status] (status being a true/false identifier to choose which server to use)

      2. I created a stored procedure to change the [Status] between different servers

      3. I connect to the table in all reports, filter for [Status] = 1, then drill down on the [Server] to get the output of the server name

      4. I then use the name of the query in step 3 as the source for all of my SQL Server connections. 

       

      I can get the report to refresh in the desktop after toggling between servers but when I publish to the web I cannot get the refresh schedule to work. Each sql source shows the same error: 

      Query contains unknown or unsupported data sources. SQL, ************.norco.com;DataAnalytics

      I used the ********* to replace the actual server name

       

      Any idea's on how I can use my intended idea and work around this error? I've tested this with the server name only and with the full domain as well. Both times I get the same error. What's interesting is that the server name in the error does not change when I toggle between the two servers (server1 is published and the error is still associated with server2) which leads me to believe this is a gateway issue.

        Hi there

        Do you have both data sources set up in your Gateway?
