I need to create a report using two data sources in cognos 10.
A master source has a "column" named id which i want to use as second data source parameter.
I create a master detail relationship from id to my parameter, but to all details id from first row is passed.
How to change it to a situation where id from row is passed?
A detail(x) is a effect of second data source with passed parameter.
You should be using two different queries and two different list objects. The detail list should be nested inside the parent list. They should then be linked via the Master-Detail Relationships property. Double-check the join, as many developers are prone to misclicks on this screen.
Here is a good walkthrough on creating what I described above.

I have a report designed in RDLC that has a Dataset consisting of a set of integer UserID values. The report consists of a one-column table, with each row grouped by UserID. Inside each cell is a subreport generated from the UserID. The subreport is also designed in RDLC from two separate datasets, each of which is generated based on the UserID.
How do I design the subreport to generate the appropriate information for each Parent row's UserID?
I don't see how it can be done on the parent report side, as the method defined in SubreportProcessingEventHandler appears to be called just once, rather than once for each UserID's Subreport.
I assume it has to be done in the Subreport's ascx.cs file - but where would I put it? Is there a predetermined method name to use, or do I call the method from the parent somehow?
Is what I am describing even possible?
Apparently, the answer - at least, the one that works when I do it - is, the SubreportProcessingEventHandler is, in fact, called once for each UserID, so the UserID is passed to the handler as a parameter, and the subreport's data sets are built within the handler using that UserID.
I am new to blue prism. I have a scenario where I am giving input (passengers details for traveling) to a travel portal and based on the input its generating a booking reference number, total cost etc. Now I want to read all the outputs into a collection but the problem is data is not tabular (cant use Get Table in read component). Its just the details of travel which are populating into textboxes. Please find attached the screen shot to have more clarity on this.
How to achieve this? Any leads will be appreciated.
Based on the screenshot you've provided, this is part of the Blue Prism Advanced Consolidation Exercise ("BPTravel").
"Get Table" won't work on this data because it is not a table. As you've mentioned, the data is presented in a series of textboxes.
The way to tabularize this data would be to create a Collection in your Process and manually define each of the Field Names in the collection, then read each text field in individually to the correct column in the collection.
Read each text box data into data item. Create a named collection (i.e Collection with pre-defined column name). Loop through the collection.column_name(You will be getting column name as collection by using Utility - Collection Manipulation action and get the column names) and first add a row to collection and assign values to collection fields
I have a form with an existing data source. This data source has a one to many relationship to another table that is not an existing data source. Even though this second table contains multiple records (one to many), the field in the table that I want is duplicated across all records. Therefore I want to add this second table as a data source, but only return one record from it.
If I add the second table directly, than my form contains a line for each record instead of just one.
This problem was solved by creating a view to use as the new datasource. This view defined a calculated column that was based on a method that contained a query string that used TOP 1. The details in much more detail are at Martin Dráb's blog: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/goshoom/archive/2015/06/29/join-first-line-in-ax-2012.
Use the property LinkType=ExistJoin on the datasource for your second table.
See the TransactionLog form for example.
I have one analyse with two tables. The first table is a master and the second table has all childs. Is there an option to make a action link in the first table that redirects to the value of in the second table of that master while it stays in the same analysis? How can this be done? Any help will be appreciated.
You can enable master-detail between different views of the same (or different) analysis.
In the first table you need to add an action on the column that you want to become the master column. In criteria tab go to properties of that column, and on the Interaction tab select the "Send Master-Detail events". You can put any arbitrary word there, as long as there are no other channels with the same name.
Then on the second table, you have to edit its properties so it "listens for Master-Detail" events. Just provide the same word for the channel name.
There are some restrictions to this feature... You should read the official documentation to get more details.

I'm sorry if this seems silly, but I'm new to using Report Definition Language (RDLC) files and I'm looking for advice on the best "plan of attack" for a report I must create.
THE REPORT
The report (itself) must display a table of data above a related set of calculations for each a grouping (of data). I'm hoping to keep one group per page...but that may not be possible as each table may become quite long (but that is another question for another day).
...There can be 1 to N GROUPS
Example
(GROUP 1)
TABLE
FORM CALCULATIONS
PAGE BREAK
(GROUP 2)
TABLE
FORM CALCULATIONS
...and so on.
IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS?
Place each group into a SUBREPORT. The sub report would then contain the table & form calculations.
...is this right or is there a better way to do this?
THE ACTUAL ANSWER IS
The outer RDLC contains a LIST control which contained the following controls:
TABLE (containing items related to the collection as a whole)
SUBREPORT
The SUBREPORT points to an RDLC which contained the following controls:
TABLE (containing row items)
(1) Use the LIST's "grouping" property to group your 1-to-N collections. The "grouping" property is found by choosing the LIST control then choosing Visual Studio's menu options as such: VIEW > PROPERTIES WINDOW.
(2) Next, set the LIST's data source.
This is found using by choosing the REPORT and then choosing Visual Studio's menu options as such: REPORT > DATA SOURCES. Drag any field onto the control and the data source will automatically set itself up.
NOTE:
If you cannot "see" any data sources in Visual Studio's data sources window it is "probably" because service references in your project are causing issues...temporarily exclude them from your project and choose RESFRESH icon within Visual Studio's data sources window (they should then appear). Sadly, you must do this EVERY TIME your data source changes.
Once you have the LIST iterating properly you can add-in the SUBREPORT and any other controls.
...I now OFFICIALLY hate RDLC's.
personally if i had to do this report i will do it with two different tables. In one rdlc you can put two datatables one will display GROUP 1 Data the second one GROUP 2 Data. The Table has option Page break at end of datatable which can give the PAGE BREAK Between the two datatables.
