I'm developing an app in VB6 and added a data report bound to a data environment. I set the report as start up object, but it shows the designer and not the report viewer!
I have built a new project and imported all of the objects back in but to no avail.
I did a test with a small Data Project and it worked.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Problem allayed due to the fact that SHAPE commands cannot be used with DISCONNECTED recordsets...which defeats what I am trying to achieve here.
I'll use MSAccess reports via OLE server.
Thanks for looking anyway!

I am very new to working with SAS, have not worked with it before. My current workplace is asking me to migrate reports over from SAS and rework them using SSIS/SSRS. I'm not sure how would be the best way to go about this or where even to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You will need to look at the data sources and the report outputs and figure out what is required to manually recreate the reports from scratch in SQL and SSRS. There is no conversion tool available.
I have downloaded the sample app of the Doddle Report and understand it is to report a collection of IEnumerable data. I am able to get data reported nicely for a simple report.
However, the sample app did not have grouping. I would think to accomplish this I need to extend the functionality from the source code to show group format and wonder if anyone tried and succeed. If so, how should I approach it? Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, Doddle Report doesn't have grouping capability built into the system.
According to some of the discussion on the codeplex,
DoddleReport.Codeplex.com
it appears that the creator is also looking for someone to include that functionality.
One work-around I used for different groups was to create an excel report and then use AppendReport() to get multiple pages in the same report. Unfortunately, the iTextSharp report writer doesn't implement AppendReport() so I had to use the OpenXml writer for this.
We recently migrated from Cognos 10.1.1 to Cognos 10.2.1.1 ( 10.2.1 plus Fix pack1) . Some of our existing reports fail validation now.
From the cogserver.log file , it looks like the BIBUS Process is Crashing on validating the report.
We are working with IBM tech support via a PMR .
Wanted to try if someone here knows if it is possible to Validate a report step by step so that I can get some information or some logs on what element in our report is exactly causing the issue? i.e. Is it possible to do the report validation in a debug mode somehow?
Oh, what a wonderful feature that would be, but to my knowledge nothing like that exists at all. You could try setting the logging on your dispatcher(s) to the maximum to see if you can get any more informative errors.
I would start by trying to view the tabular data for each query individually. If you can identify which query (or queries) are causing your problems, then you can just remove items from the query until it doesn't fail, at which point you should have a pretty good idea of what the source of the problem is.
If that doesn't work, I would just start ripping major chunks of the report out and seeing you can get it to run. For example, if you have a report with 4 charts, delete half of them and try your report. Revert back to the original report, and delete the other half. Get it to work, and then start removing stuff from the half that fails until you can narrow it down to your problem.
It's kind of slow, but these approaches have always worked for me.
On a side note, we're about to make the same upgrade, I'd be interested in hearing what you learn.
EDIT:
Oh, forgot. Make sure you disable DQM and test your reports that way, if you haven't.
Unfortunately, there's no way to debug step by step. Finally got the Core dumps for the crashes, sent them over to IBM Folks ; and they identified it as a known bug in 10.2.1.1. So now we are at 10.2.1.2 (applied Fix pack 2) which solves the issue.
I'd like to use BIRT as stand-alone application (without Eclipse).
How is it possible?
Could I run BIRT as web service?
Does BIRT have web interface?
Thank you
BIRT and Eclipse can not be seperated, kind of like playing Wii without a Television is not possible.
But your user interface can be a web page. Apache is often choosen as delivery tool.
You can download open source BIRT from http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/
If you have any issues getting set up, pretty much every solution can be found by Google.
I am looking for a way to integrate jasper reports in a netbeans platform application. I have googled this and there seem to be no direct answer, so am asking to be helped in this.
to be specific i use a MySql database and ireport designer to design my reports. I need to display the specific reports in a report viewer and display it in a top component.
please direct me on a way to accomplish this.
It seems like you should be using the JRViewer component.
Have a look at this Jasper Reports Swing tutorial. The only difference is that instead of embedding your JRViewer in a JFrame you'll be embedding it in a TopComponent
