Creating a Gauge Report
Passing Arguments to a SQL Query
If you are using an SQL query, you can pass any number of
arguments to the query. This is a two-step process.
1. When specifying the query in the OneSight report templates
properties file, include a „?‟ character where the argument
substitutions will occur. For example:
Report5.sql=SELECT PropName, AgentPropertySeq FROM
EmpirixAdmin.tbl_AgentProperty WHERE
(AgentPropertyListID = ?)
2. When invoking the report, specify the appropriate number of
„arg‟ parameters in the URL that will map to the „?‟. For
example:
id=MyReport&arg=16&arg=18, would substitute 16 and
18 for two ? within the query.
Creating a Gauge Report
OneSight report templates support gauge reports. Gauges are unique
in that you specify a single value to graph, such as a tachometer as
shown below.
To specify a gauge report, you must first specify the
.datasourceName as SQL. Only SQL results can be represented in a
gauge (this is a Corda limitation). You then specify a
