Error: "Startindex cannot be larger than length of string" while validating report

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

@Jan-Rune 

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.
