Dynamics AX 2012 Cascading Parameters multi select URGENT

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jhowe 1,205

Hi all,

I'm an experienced SQL Developer and have created a cascading parameters SSRS report which I have deployed to Dynamics AX 2012.  In the designer the parameters work as expected (I've run a profiler trace) and depending on which values you select in the first parameter drop down affects the second parameter values.  However when running the report from Dynamics, when you change the first parameter list values the second list does not refresh.  I've run a trace and can see that nothing is being sent to the database.  How do you get dynamics to work with cascading multi select parameters???  Help!  ;)

the report is calling user created stored procs for the data and parameter values...

    If you run into something which is not supported by the default UI builder (i.e. the X++ class building the report dialog), you'll have to extend it by yourself.

    Hi thanks for your reply, can you tell me whether cascading parameters is supported natively in dynamics AX 2012 or not?  Just incase I'm missing something easily?  Also i'm new to dynamics, only started using it 2 days ago so I have no idea how to do what you said!  Can you post an example or send me a link?  Thanks...

    I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it's supported. Personally, I would simply replicate the logic in a UI builder class, e.g. by overriding lookup() method of the second parameter. Here you'll find an example that should help you.

    Unfortunately I can't remember any good tutorial that explains UI builder classes. Maybe somebody else knows one and will add a link here. Or somebody should write one (no promises by myself). Otherwise just ask if you get into troubles.

    Hi

    Please create a UI builder class.

    register the override for Lookup . Now in the lookup method related to dependent parameter get the dialog field value of the first parameter and add this to range of the query used to provide the lookup.
