| I am trying to pass parameters in the URL to my reports but they seem to be ignored. The parameter textboxes are not populated and no reports are generated. Is there any configuration setting on the Report Server that could prevent the reports from using my parameters (I have asked IT but no reply yet)? Here is an example. The name of the parameter this report takes is "TestID" (the prompt is "Test ID". It is of string type (converted to integer in the query) but I have tried integer type as well. I expect the report to use my parameter if I pass it like http://servab16/Reports$SQL2005/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fPerformanceIndicators%2fStruxureWare%2fUnofficial+Reports%2fStruxureWare+Defects+Linked+to+All+Instances+of+Test&TestID=18271Should I pass the parameter in different ways depending on type? Any ideas why this does not work? It seems pretty straight-forward. Am I doing some stupid mistake? |

| is TestID parameter mapped to a dataset for available values? If yes, values passed (in this case 18271) should be present in dataset result.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

| No, it is not. I have not set any available values. I now tried hard-coding 18271 as an available value and passing that in the URL. Still does not work. I want to be able to provide any integer (I would be able to query for the valid IDs but I certainly do not want a drop-down with 20000+ options). |

|
| are you trying to pass url as is or are you generating url on the fly getting value from somewhere? if latter, can you check if value is getting passed properly?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/ |

| My plan is to get the TestID value from another tool and automate opening of IE, passing it as a parameter, but right now I am only trying to pass the parameter as seen above by manually entering the URL in IE (to check that it works). |

| I am sure I use the following URL to access the report without parameters: http://servab16/Reports$SQL2005/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fPerformanceIndicators%2fStruxureWare%2fUnofficial+Reports%2fStruxureWare+Defects+Linked+to+All+Instances+of+TestAdding &rs%3aCommand=Render&TestID=18271 or only one of the parameters makes no difference. Still no parameters used and no report generated. |

| Not sure we understand each other. This URL always takes me to the report (if we by report mean also the textbox for the parameter) but no actual content is generated until I enter parameter value manually: http://servab16/Reports$SQL2005/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fPerformanceIndicators%2fStruxureWare%2fUnofficial+Reports%2fStruxureWare+Defects+Linked+to+All+Instances+of+TestAdding &rs%3aCommand=Render&TestID=18271 or only one of the parameters makes no difference. |

| In Visual Studio, after opening the report definition (.rdl), I select the "Layout" tab. I then open "Report Parameters" dialog from the main menu, click the "Add" button, set Name to "TestID", Data Type to "String" (Default) and Prompt to "Test ID". Then I just click the OK button to close the dialog, save the report definition and upload it to the server. Done. |

| I use it in the following query: SELECT * FROM td.BUG WHERE BG_BUG_ID IN (SELECT LN_BUG_ID FROM td.LINK WHERE LN_ENTITY_TYPE='TESTCYCL' AND LN_ENTITY_ID IN (SELECT TC_TESTCYCL_ID FROM td.TESTCYCL WHERE TC_TEST_ID=CAST(@TestID AS INT)))Since I am able to generate my report by populating the parameter textbox manually, I suppose there is nothing wrong with how I use the parameter? |

| Thanks a lot for your patience so far. Unfortunately, I have no access to Reporting Services Configuration Manager on the Report Server. I will try to involve IT in this. Unfortunately, this will have to wait until after Christmas and New Year's holidays. |
