Can't Change The Server Name in Parameter

[southbean]

Hello All,

I've uploaded several reports to my BOE (11.5) via the CMC. No problem there. The reports were developed to use either a TEST or PROD database (SQL Server 2005). Most of the reports use dynamic parameters.

However, when I click on the parameter value link to select new parameters the 'Server Name' is grayed out and I am unable to change it from PROD to TEST or vice-versa.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thank you for and/all help or advice with this!

Isn't the server name dependent upon how the report was built? I cannot change our server names either, however they do appear different depending on how the report was built (OLE vs ODBC, PROD vs TEST).

If you need the server name changed, I would alter the report and save the report as such (i.e. EMPLOYEE_LIST_ODBC-PROD.rpt).

Hope this helps.

RSGeek,

Thank you for your reply.

I have tried that. However, it did not resolve the issue. I uploaded the same report twice (modifying the names: Report1_PROD, Report1_TEST) with one using PROD as a data source the other usein TEST as the data source. Same result.

In fact, the grayed-out name of the source data for Report1_PROD appeared in the dynamic parameter login as as TEST.

That ain't right!

Thanks again,
