Birt Report Message... The following items have errors... [message #246286] Wed, 04 July 2007 09:34 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
My BIRT reports shows errors after deployment in Tomcat (using IE to
execute and view). The error message below is displayed at the bottom of
the report indicating that some of the fields are invalid. Removing these
fields from the report design and adding them again usually fixes the
problem (until today). Some versions of IE do not display the errors but
leave the corresponding cells in the report blank. Firefox also leaves
the “problem” cells blank.

The report is very big in terms of the number of fields and I was
wondering whether the size of the report is not the main cause of the
problem. The problem occurs intermittently (once every few months)
without changes to the report or database. The fields affected are of
different types showing data of different data types and I could not
establish a pattern in the behaviour.

Can you please assist?

Regards
Karen

Could you attach a invalid design file on?
Or you can file a bugzilla item with the invalid design files.

How do I attach my problem .rptdesign file as requested? Should I copy
the contents of the file to this message box.

Bugzilla also does not have the facility to attach a file.

In order to clarify my initial post:

The Eclipse viewer shows the report and data correctly. The problem only
occurs after deployment to Tomcat and execution and viewing in IE 7 or
Firefox 2.

Do you mean the error is binding to IE7 and Firefox 2 only?
The eclipse viewer uses tomcat too. So I think there should no relation
ship with tomcat.

Field values are still disappearing from my report. I examined the code
(in .rptdesign) for two of the fields. One field’s value is displays
correctly while the other field’s value is blank. The code for both
fields is identical. Executing the SQL on the database returns both
values.

I still feel that this problem may be related to the number of fields I
have in my report. My report shows one row/record from the database and
each row consist of approximately 130 values (= database columns). There
are also approximately 160 headings/labels in my report. The report is
presented as a form with hard coded headings and subheadings and the data
from the database is used to “populate” this form.

How does BIRT handle this type of report behind the scenes? Is there a
limit to the number of fields per report? I am thinking in terms of
buffer size limitations and possible configuration changes I can do on my
side.

Can you please assist? I am at the point where I need to start looking at
alternative reporting solutions in order to deliver a stable product to
the client.

Karen

The problem occurs in IE 6 and 7 as well as in Firefox 2.0.0.3. But as I
mentioned before, I don't get the problem when viewing the report in
Eclipse (using the BIRT plugin).

I don't think BIRT does kind of limitation.
Could you attach you file when you replay to the new group? What's your
news client? It should provide a attach file option.

I think I found my problem... (or I hope so)

I used aliases in my SQL.
E.g.
SELECT
a.name AS a_name,
b.name AS b_name
FROM
A a,
B b
WHERE
a.id = b.id;

My problem was solved after removing the aliases. This does not make
sense since the report was deployed to UAT (with aliases in the SQL) about
4 month ago and we started to experience the problems only about a month
ago.

Do you have any explanation for this situation?

Regards
Karen

Well sounds like a bug :(
Could yo file a bug with the design file attached?
Thanks
