Unable to choose multiple selection of values for a parameter in ESS job

User_VICIT

We have a requirement where we need to select multiple values for a parameter in BI report. When we are trying to create a custom ESS job, we don't see an option to select multiple values from LOV at parameter level.

Is there any option which we can use to select multiple options for a parameter from the ESS job.

Thanks,
Mansi

Hi,

This is not supported currently.

Is It Possible To Enable Multiple Selection Setting For ESS Job Parameters (Doc ID 2871349.1)

There is already an idea submitted, please upvote:

Enable multi selection parameters in ESS job — Oracle Analytics

Thanks.

We looked into this document and this is pointing to older version. Just want to check if this feature is available in newer version.

Hi @User_WBLBP ,

The status is same still i..e multi select is not supported through ESS jobs. Once it is available, the MOS doc which I shared earlier either will get an update or will be archived by Oracle.

Also, the idea link I shared still doesn't say that the functionality is available. The idea status changes when functionality is delivered.

I hope this helps.

Thanks.

If you just want to pass multiple values, instead of giving an option to choose multiple values from a list, then you can use the workaround mentioned in below MOS note:

Fusion Applications - How to Pass Multiple Values in a Single Parameter to Custom ESS Job that Submits Custom BI Publisher Report (Doc ID 2774925.1)

Thanks.
