Check availability of datasets defined in shared library [message #673574] Tue, 24 May 2011 07:18 Go to next message

Hi,

I have around 30 datasets defined in shared rptlibrary file and around 60 reports based on this data. Unfortunately, all the datasets are using production database as a data source. Whenever the database model changes (at least once per month) it affects one or more datasets and reports. Today, it is a lot of work to go through all the datasets one by one to see whether the sql is still valid or not.

What I would like to do is to create some kind of system report that checks all the datasets and returns 0/1 (Y/N) if the dataset is working or not. Of course the best would be if the report could add new datasets dynamically, so I do not have to change it always when there is new dataset.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to achieve this. My first idea was to add one field from first row from every dataset to the report. However, when the dataset is not valid, only not really helping error message is returned like:
The following items have errors:

Data (id = 8):
- Can not load the report query: 8. Errors occurred when generating the report document for the report element with ID 8.


Is there any way how to return element name in the error (instead of element ID) or maybe some javascript error handling function?

Any idea appreciated.

Regards,

Tomas

Tomas,

You could write an API program to run your reports or datasets and check
the errors. Are you using 2.6.1 or greater. The errors should be much
more informative. I just changed a query and picked the wrong table and
got this error:

Table (id = 9):
+ An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following
message for details:

Let me know if you can use a java program to do the check and I will
write you an example.

Thank you Jason,

I can ask our IT guys to run some java code - it would be really helpful if you can post an example.

Regards,

Tomas

Tomas,

You can use a simple program like:

package REAPI;



import java.util.Locale;

import org.eclipse.birt.core.framework.Platform;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineConfig;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.EngineException;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportEngine;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportEngineFactory;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IReportRunnable;
import org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.IRunTask;


public class RunAndRenderTaskErrorCheck {

public void runReport() throws EngineException
{

IRunTask task=null;
IReportEngine engine=null;
EngineConfig config = null;

try{
config = new EngineConfig( );

config.setBIRTHome("C:\\birt\\birt-runtime-2_6_1\\birt-runtime-2_6_1\\ReportEngine");
Platform.startup( config );
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform
.createFactoryObject(
IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY );
engine = factory.createReportEngine( config );
IReportRunnable design = null;
//Open the report design

design = engine.openReportDesign("Reports/badquery.rptdesign");
//Create task to run and render the report,
task = engine.createRunTask(design);
task.setLocale(new Locale("en", "US"));
task.setMaxRowsPerQuery(1);
task.run("output/resample/errorcheck.rptdocument");


}catch( Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
if ( !task.getErrors( ).isEmpty( ) )

{

for ( Object e : task.getErrors( ) )

{
//Check here
( (Exception) e ).printStackTrace( );

}

}
task.close();
engine.destroy();
Platform.shutdown( );
System.out.println("Finished");
}

}


/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
try
{

RunAndRenderTaskErrorCheck ex = new RunAndRenderTaskErrorCheck( );
ex.runReport();

}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

}

Remember to just create a new task for each report you want to check as
starting up and shutting down the the platform is expensive. You could
just create a loop to create a new run task for each report.
