Advanced Reporting Parameters not showing correctly for report converted from Business Objects

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

• We've converted one of our old Business Objects Crystal reports to JasperSoft. 
• When we open that report under Advanced Reporting the parameters are showing the parameter id's and not the parameter names with the drop down selection capabilities. 
• How do we get the new JasperSoft version of the report to use the parameter/Input controls from the Administration tab Reports and Jobs on the Clarity side?
• The report seems to be using the Bind Parameter Code instead of the Parameter Label

Cause

• One thing that may be causing the issue is something in the input controls used for the report and/or how the query pulls that field.

Environment

Release : All Supported Releases

Component : CA PPM APPLICATION

Resolution

1. Check the input controls in Advanced Reporting ->Repository that should be in the folder this custom report belongs to and see if they are set up correctly
2. See also the following links:

• From Broadcom:
  • KB: 37374 walks a user through how to set up default values, but it does show screen shots of how the input controls should appear in Advanced Reporting as well.
