Modifying an existing report Kinetic

[ABanuelos (Alejandro Banuelos)]

Hi all,

I’m currently modifying an existing report to add an additional field. Because this is a standard report, I first duplicated the Report Style.

After duplicating the style, I added a new Report Data Definition to the existing report style so that I could download the SSRS file.

I was able to successfully download the SSRS as a ZIP file. However, when I tried to upload it again even without making any changes the upload failed.

I checked the correlation ID and found the following error message:

<![CDATA[System.ArgumentException: The report path (/reports/SalesOrderAcknowledgement/SOForm) must be within the custom report directory (reports/CustomReports).

Am I missing a step, or doing something incorrectly?

Thanks in advance

On the new report style, you have to change the report location to be reports/CustomReports… instead of reports…

Something like
reports/CustomReports/SOForm?

I got the following message:

Business Layer Exception

Could not find a part of the path ‘\reports\CustomReports\SOForm.rdl’.
Locations used to find reports:
\reports

It is wherever you have the custom report saved on your computer. I assume for you it must start with Reports\CustomReports\SalesOrderAcknowledgement\SOForm

Another thing is that you will have to change your data definition to the new one you had created (OrderAck_Dup) if you want the custom fields to be called.

How can we Identify where are the CustomReports saved if we are cloud?

Or is the message directly referring into the zip file I am uploading?

[tsimon (Tim)]

It is refereeing to the file you are uploading. This is happening because you downloaded the report style first, and then created a new report style. Otherwise Epicor would have created the folder for you. Not too big a deal as you just have to change the location of where the zip file is saved.

So after changing it into something like this:

reports → CustomReports → SalesOrderAcknowledgement → SOForm

And compressing the file into a new zip.

Got it working thanks a lot!
