Development Audit: Parameter Linkage to Report SQL

Avatar photoCustomer December 7, 2019 at 4:57 pm

To ensure robust development, we need a mechanism to confirm that every parameter defined for a Blitz Report correctly points to an existing anchor placeholder in the main report SQL.

      You must run the Blitz Report Parameter Anchor Validation report. This report checks if all parameter anchors exist in the `xxen_report_parameter_anchors` table.

      What exactly is an ‘Anchor’ in the context of Blitz Report development?

      An Anchor is a placeholder in the report SQL where dynamic SQL (like a parameter’s WHERE clause) can be inserted at runtime, such as the `1=1` anchor.

      If I’m using the anchor validation report, should I also check for parameter uniqueness?

      It is good practice. Use the Blitz Report Parameter Uniqueness Validation report to ensure there are no duplicate Blitz Report parameters.
