My last SSRS posting seems to have “Disappeared” - So here is an update.
If you try to “Publish” an SSRS report you will get an error with a Correlation ID.
I have multiple tickets open for many weeks now.
I can only guess that since Epicor is suggesting a “workaround” (which is horrible - extract zip files - modify - re-zip - re-upload Test - rinse repeat) that the issue has been given a back seat - maybe all are focusing on Bold Reports now? I’m guessing.
But for anyone out there trying to do SSRS reports and trying to use the Download - modify - Test - Publish - you are out of luck.
Kinetic report style or “Download for design” is a broken mess. Even Classic UI’s “download for design” is now broken if you try to publish. I use Classic to design and preview then Classic Report Style to upload the RDL.
We still download RDLs, use Visual Studio to modify them, then upload them. All outside of Epicor. We run them from Epicor of course, but never found a better way to modify SSRS reports. We’re also still using Classic screens
We’re SaaS do downloading a RDL is fine but can’t do any preview without using the download for design feature. In Classic --when it still worked-- it was amazing. If they can’t get the Kinetic one up to snuff, hopefully they’ll add it to the Power Tools.
Mr. Randy: I Totally agree - when it worked it was phenomenal. I have not been given any reason whey fixing it is so difficult and why such a low priority.
