A Production Reporting job uses a parameter form to obtain INPUT parameter values at runtime. This section explains how to customize parameter forms.
Note: | The parameter forms are in JSP. Customizing the standard form provided with Production Reporting requires a working knowledge of JSP and Java. |
By default, when you run a Production Reporting job or create or modify a parameter list, Reporting and Analysis Framework generates a standard form to collect parameter information. You can customize the form. For example, some jobs may require a more sophisticated field layout, or your organization may require certain conventions.
You can associate custom parameter forms with jobs at runtime. You run or schedule a job that is associated with a custom form, which is displayed instead of the standard form.
A parameter form is a JSP containing input fields. Forms can also be more complex, invoking JavaScript or an applet.
