Hi,

We recently upgraded our IFS to IFS10, and am attempting to use the Business Reporter functionality in our test version of the application.

Using the setup guide provided I was able to set up a simple and basic report.

Nothing more than using the GL Balance Information Source

Variables used in the sheet itself: Year, Account, Balance

            Adding simple text header to the above variables.

Filtering the design row to year 2022

Repeater on year and account

 

 Here I can save and publish without any issues. But then I run into the following issues:

  • When I attempt to Load Report it opens up an empty excel sheet without business reporter.
  • When I look into IFS it does not show up under “Order Report
  • When attempting to “Download & Validate” I receive the following error: “StartIndex cannot be larger than length of string. Parameter name: startIndex”. 
    • I have attempted with multiple different reports and I get this error message each and every time.

Is this a known issue that anyone else has? I have tried looking at all the variables I control to see if there is some issue with a string, but nothing has worked. 

Any help or ideas would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Have you checked permissions on the BACLI presentation objects?  (Presentation Object Grants/Component = ‘BACLI’)

Not being able to see the reports under Order Report/Report Type = “Business Reporter”, seems like a permissions issue to me.


Hi,

Could you please check below things

Test 1

  1. Create a simple report and save it to local drive 
  2. Close all Excel workbooks 
  3. Try to open the saved report by double clicking on it.

 

Test 2

  1. Check below configuration in Excel
  2. Go to File → Options → Add-ins . Manage COM-Addin → GO
  3. Check if IFS Business Reporter Addin is enabled. 
  4. If it is not enabled, enable that and try again
  1.  

Best regards,
