Creating Cascade Parameters with Pentaho Report Designer 3.5.

New from Prashant :

Cascade parameters provide a way of managing large amounts of data in reports. You can define a set of related parameters so that the list of values for one parameter depends on the value chosen in another parameter.

In this example I will be using the Steel Wheels sample data to create a report which will display a list of customers using two parameters: a drop down parameter which will contain a distinct list of countries which will then filter another drop down parameter which contains cities which belong to the country.

Mysql Access denied for user: 'root@localhost'

For those who like me receives this error due to a change in the db.I propose this solution which works on Ubuntu 9.04:
$ sudo service mysql stop
$ sudo mysqld -skip-grant-tables
so use your favorite tool to do the "grant" of users, then stop mysqld and restarted the mysql service
$ sudo service mysql startI hope this post will serve.


keep in touch
