Question

I am using petaho analyzer to view my analysis, which I made in mondrian schema and published it to pentaho ce server: I want to Use the Request Parameter from url in the mdx query. Here is my .xaction file: -

But the parameter pnId's value remains null in MDX query in spite of it having default value. How to One pass Request parameter from url to this query?

Answer 1

The Where caluse should not be enclosed in {}. and request parameter should be passed in query with {requestparamname}
