Switching SSRS report from Classic printing interface to Kinetic interface when printing.
Report Style Maintenance I can select “Actions/Generate Kinetic Form” and I get a preview in Kinetic.
— But —
Menu Maintenance I don’t see the Ice.UIRpt.whatever file created.
Program Type: Classic BAQ Report — to — Kinetic App.
Program Drop Down and nothing was generated to select.
I’m looking under Ice.UIRpt.whatever and nothing was created.
I’m on the cloud so is there a delay or am I missing something?

Are you doing this in the Client or in the Browser?
If you’re in the Client, I would log out and come back in. Just like when creating a new menu, you need to do that to see the menu in the Client. You may need to do that to see the .dll of the new report.
Per Epicor, performing the “Preview Application” is suppose to generate the BAQ Report file and add it to a folder on the server.
So, I don’t think you’re missing any steps. I could either be a delay in using the Browser… needed to sign out/back in on the Client… or both?

Client of course.
Tested thru the Browser. No go.
So does clicking on the Browser + Tab and Selecting my Pilot login bookmark for another session the equivalent of closing the client and reloading?
Maybe my system is different. I ran the preview in Kinetic.
I then when to Menu maint and added a menu item and i found a Kinetic “App” that had the name of the report.

If I don’t see the file out there Monday I will open a support ticket. Thanks for confirming how I thought it should work. These are old reports which did not have the BAQ referenced in the RDD. Now I get an error the report style should be referenced by a RDD when trying to Preview the Kinetic Form. I added the one I was testing in the RDD as a BAQ also the Header Record for Criteria even though the report doesn’t have any criteria when running. Got past the error and previewed but no file. I’m close but must have something else missing.
Thanks for the quick response. Happy Friday.
Mr. Patrick: I just checked my Report Style and Data Def and they are pretty blank. This is an old report that I made as an Epicor BAQ Report. i.e. NOT an RDD report - the DataDef Should be basically blank.
I think you have the right idea - Let Epicor take a stab at it.
However, this is the BIG 2024.2 upgrade weekend - so I would not expect an answer for a while
Here is a screen shot of my example:

What’s your RDD / Data Sources / Report BAQ tab look like.
My older reports did not have anything entered. So I added a record pointing to the Query.
With out the entry I get.
There are 2 ways to deploy a Kinetic screen for a ‘BAQ Report’ depending on how it was created.
If it was created as a BAQ report using BAQ report designer then you will need to go into BAQ report designer and go to the overflow and preview kinetic application this will then generate the application.
If you created it from an RDD with the BAQ added then you would go to report style and generate / preview the kinetic application. The prefix of the application is different to the above. Something like Ice.DynRpt.xxx
The 2 methods are different as the report types are different. One is a BAQ Report and one is a Dynamic Report.
Best way is to deploy as above depending on creation method, then go to menu maintenance and search for program like, and enter you report ID. That should return which ever it is.
P.S. sorry for not being able to explain exact prefixes. Not at a PC until Monday.

Also just to clarify. If a report is built using the BAQ report designer, then the auto created RDD is expected and meant to be blank.
