ARForm suddenly stops in SSRS, other reports run

Hello friends,
I’m testing reports for the upgrade to Kinetic.
I could generate a GUID and access ARForm all last week.
Starting yesterday when plugging in the GUID, I get an error for the stock Kinetic ARForm:


(Yes, the GUID still has a set of temp tables on the server)

In contrast, POForm generates fine:

Why might ARForm work on GUIDs for a while and suddenly stop, but POForm continues to be fine on GUIDs?

Anyone have any insight?
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Mr. Ben: Have you tried creating a new GUID? or is that what you are showing in your screen shot?

DaveO

New GUID and the old one I still had archived from last week when it was working.

Could your RDL be pointing to your Live instance? Try checking your dataset settings?

DaveO

This is a dev instance of Kinetic built only for testing. We are live on E10.
But I know what you are asking.

The datasource is correct in ARForm and POForm.

@estm8ben I would recycle the app pool(s) just for giggles.

I tried that.
No difference.

I even jiggled the handle while I was in there. :slight_smile:

Ben, what does the log file say on the server?

Looks like I’m getting an error about a failed Viewstate.
We are reading up on that.

It provided this link:

That’s what you found in the log file?

I also found this:

processing!ReportServer_0-10!5b8!10/06/2022-10:33:17:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing. —> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

That looks a lot more like an issue you can solve for.

I feel like that is some custom code. Is this a custom report style?

Does the base invoice form still work ben

This is the base ARForm - unedited.

:grimacing:

Yeah

And it doesn’t work for any invoices or it works for some and not others?

I generated a new archived print of Invoice 233968 chosen at random from the list.

I can see the PDF.

I have retrieved the new GUID - 99A69D42EB414F6FBEE865A3AF1CB6BF

I go to the URL for my SQL Server Reporting Services.

I find the correct ARForm for “live”.

I paste in the new GUID.

I get this error

If I use a bad or non-existent GUID I get a different error.

POForm works fine in this same process.

If you try to do this on a different computer (like the SSRS server) can you use the guid to preview the report? Do you only have this issue on your computer?
