Dynamic sorting and pagination on a Report Definition
Hi,
I want to implement the dynamic sorting and pagination on a Report Definition rule.
here I have a set of columns defined, but the sorting and pagination values will differ for each request.
From the help I understand that creating a page of type Embed-QueryInputs and pass the page as a param.pyReportParamPageName to the activity pxRetrieveReportData will do this.
But from the activity pxRetrieveReportData definition, the step to do sorting and pagination using this param page is commented in V7.2.
So Can someone please help me in this regards.
Thanks,
Shivakumar Singani.

I am unfamiliar with the term "dynamic sorting and paging", can you provide more detail?
Can you provide a link to the help page to which you are referring?

Here is the help link I am referring to:
https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v72/procomhelpmain.htm
And my question is about the parameter pyReportParamPageName passed to this activty as given in the example mentioned in this page.

Is step 16 the step you are referring to? It says this is commented out in order to support functionality to add or remove columns.
If you do a private checkout of this activity and uncomment the step, does the dynamic sorting/paging work for you?

Yes, it is working if I uncomment the step 16 and pass the parameters as described in the help link.

I am trying to find out why this is commented out, and if we support the feature you are trying to use.

Any update on this.

The comment in the step indicates it is commented out to support another feature. I am trying to find out if this means the feature interfere with each other.

I have not been able to get any additional information on this. The only response I have implies that this code interferes with another feature (add or remove columns), and was commented out for that reason. So it looks like we don't actually support the feature you are trying to use.
