Verify Parameter Definition

This section describes how to verify parameter definitions in the Crystal Management Console (CMC).

Once your report has been published, navigate to the CMC. This is the web-based administration component for Business Objects Enterprise and provides access to all administrative functions.
To verify/change the settings of a report in the CMC go to the Objects management area and select the desired report by clicking its link located in the Object Title column.
Once you have selected your report, click the Parameters tab to change the settings.
If your report requires parameters to be provided by the user, you must configure the parameter settings in the CMC to ensure that parameter values are passed from the system when submitting the report via the Report Submission page. If you plan to submit reports from within your product, the Prompt the user for new value(s) when viewing check box should be checked.
Click OK on this window and then click Update.

Note: Submitting Reports Through Business Objects Enterprise. If you plan to submit reports from Business Objects Enterprise, you must also define an appropriate initial value for each parameter, if applicable.

Note: User ID. The user id is defined as the first parameter in every sample report. This parameter is hidden when the report is submitted from within your product, but it must be defined in the Crystal report.
