How can I convert literal enumeration values into their text values?

Andrew Trobec (497●13●144●139) | asked Sep 25 '12, 6:33 a.m.

Hello!

I am creating a BIRT report for RTC 3.0.1.1 that extracts enumeration values for a given work item. I have found the table that extracts the right attribute and value (stringExtensions.key and stringExtensions.value), only that the value is the literal value (literal.l1, literal.l2, etc...) instead of the text value.

I have been looking for the table that has a list of the literal values as well as the actual text value but I cannot find it!

Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Andrew

This is how:

Create a dataset and point it to the ENUMERATIONS table

And in the onFetch function of the dataset, construct a array like this: projects[row["LITERAL_ID"]] = row["LITERAL_NAME"];

And finally, in your dataset with the literal values, use the array to cast the values to real names.

Thanks for the screenshots! I have followed the instructions, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by "use the array to cast the values to real names". Are you saying that I need to create a computed column and somehow access the array?

Something like this:

row["PROJECT_NAME"] = projects[row["PROJECT_LITERAL"]];
