Creating a filter to use with multi-value lookup items in NSQL portlet

  • 1.  Creating a filter to use with multi-value lookup items in NSQL portlet

    Posted Dec 07, 2015 10:59 AM

    I have a NSQL portlet that returns a multi-valued list of items in one grid row (ex. list of applications associated with an investment (project or idea)).  I need to be able to create a filter to filter on one or more of the items in that list.  I have searched CA PPM and found this question and discussion about five years ago, but no solutions.  Please help and advise if there are now solutions available.  Current PPM version is 14.3.  Thanks for the help!

    I think that this is the most complete discussion we have had about that RE: Re: Multi-select on an NSQL Parameter?   (myself & Robert_Ensinger dug into this a fair bit a while ago, but no conclusive answer was found ; apart from "it depends" and "sometimes" ).

     

    Rob raised an idea ; Multi-Select Parameters in NSQL which we don't think ever got properly resolved by CA (they said "delivered", we disagreed).

     

    So ; I think you are stuck at "it depends" and "sometimes" - in that certain circumstances of portlet-style you can get this to work, and others you can not (read that first thread in detail to work out which is which). I think your scenario GregPaisley62353433 is one that does not work though   , in that (I assume) you will be using a PARAM filter field and some sort of routine/clever-SQL to construct a single concatenated field from a list of records.

     

    Would be happy to be proved wrong, I but don't think you can do what I think you want to do - some re-engineering of the 'functionality' is perhaps required?
