Missing Parameter(s) when Adding a Run Report Task in Event Studio

Troubleshooting


Problem

When adding a "Run Report" task in Event Studio, not all prompts/parameters appear.

Cause

This is caused by the missing parameters not actually being used in the report. The report server will only ask for parameters to be satisfied if they are being used in the report (eg in a filter or in a data used in the report layout). In one particular case, a missing parameter was being used in a filter that was disabled in the report. After enabling the filter by making it optional, the Run Report task showed the parameter.

Resolving The Problem

Ensure the parameters are being used in the report. If they are in filters, ensure the filters are not disabled.
