Dear All,
I have RTC v2.0 installed on my machine and had a requirement for
building custom reports which accept parameters; I have created
couple of of them successfully using BIRT tools and they are
perfectly working fine with Report
Design perspective. However the parameters are just
getting ignored and not taking any effect at all when I deploy it to
a server and create a report out of it.
The fields am using as report parameters are also custom built.
Requesting you all to let me know if I have missed anything. Many
thanks in advance.

Hi Mohan,

The general process we use when creating report parameters is like this:

1. Create a "Jazz Parameter Data Set" which will provide the values that
are selectable for the parameter (in the case of a free-form text
parameter, or something simple like a date parameter, this isn't necessary).
2. Create the report parameter. If you need values to select,specify the
data set you created in #1 and select the correct column(s) where the
data comes from.
3. Just passing the parameter into the report doesn't accomplish
anything. Go to the data set which collects the data that you are
displaying, edit it, go to the Parameters page, and for the appropriate
data set parameter, bind it to the report parameter. This passes the
value through from the report parameter to the data set.

If this doesn't work for you, could you please post more details?

Hope this helps.
