Creating Multi Select lookup in SSRS reports in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

In this tutorial I share you the steps of creating the multi select lookup.

Below is the screen shot of the multi select lookup of how its looks like.

First of all we need to create the parm method in the contract class for this multi select company lookup.

As you can see this in the below image.

After that we need to bind the control to this parm method of multi select company lookup to the dialog box in the build method of the UI Builder Class.

After  that in the postRun method of the UI Builder Class we are calling the another method that we have created to create the lookup on the companyField Control.

Below is the definition of this companyLookup method.

In the above code the selected field container contains the fields which are selected by default when the lookup is open.You can also show the empty container if not to show any field selected by default.

This was all related to the multi select lookup in SSRS Reports.

If you have any question related to that than feel free to approach me.

Using Radio Button Control for RDP Based SSRS Reports in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 part 2

This is the second post related to the radio button control for RDP Based SSRS Reports.

In this post we will learn on creating the radio buttons using the enum with style property set to combo box.

below is the screen shot of the enum with style property set to combo box.

Below are the steps for creating the radio buttons from the enums of style type combo box.

First of all declare the following variables in the class declaration of the UI Builder Class.

After that write the following code in the build method of the UI builder class.

After that write the following code in the post run method of  the UI builder class after the super() method.

The above code is basically registering the override modified method on the selection change of the radio buttons.

Below is the definition of this reportTypeModifiedMethod

The above method is basically enabling and disabling the custAccount lookup on the selection change of the radio buttons.

Now after doing all of this please refresh the datasource node of the report on visual studio to see the parameters reflected there.

After running the report the parameters looks like this.

On the selection of "EEO prepartion" the custAccount lookup will gets disable as our reportTypeModified method that we have discussed previously is doing this.

One thing we noted here is that there is no need to create the contract method of the enum if the style of the enum is combo box.

This was all related to the creation of radio buttons from the enum having style = combo box.

Feel free to comment if you need further info on this,

Using Radio Button Control for RDP Based SSRS Reports in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 part 1

Radio Buttons are created on the report parameter through the enums.

There are two scenarios.IF the style of the enum property is radio button than code is different and if the style of the enum property is combo box than code will be different.

First I will give the example of  the enum which have style property set to radio button:

Below is the screen of the enum with style property set to radio button:

First we have to create the parm method for this enum in the contract class.

Below is the screen shot for this.

Than in the build method of the UIBuilder class we need to add the following code to show the radio button control on the dialog:

Now in the postbuild method of the UI builder class I am getting the bind control and registering a method on the selection change of this control.

the type of dialogFieldFilterBy is DialogField.I have declared this in the class declaration.

Now the method that I have registered in the this control will enable disable some other controls based on the selection change of the radio control.

Below is the definition of this method that I have registered.

After  doing all of this just refresh the datasources on the designer node of this report in visual studio so that parameters should appear in the parameters not of report.

Now after running the report the checkbox control appears like this:

Now on the selection change of this radio control the method will be called that we have registered previously i.,e filterbymodified

Now when I select the ProjectQuotation from the radio button ItemGroupId and ItemId will be disabled and Project Field will be enable due to the execution of the code in the registered method.

As you can see this in the below image.

This was all related to the radio button in SSRS reports using the enum with style property set to radio button.

In the next post I will give the example of  creating the radio buttons with enum with style property set to combo box.

no report data table with name exists in report schema for data provider

I was getting the following error message when I move my already running report from Test Server to the Live Server.

After running the report on live server the error message was:

"No report data table with name MZK_ProductPriceHeaderTmp exists in report schema for data provider MZK_ProductPriceDP."

The Solution to this issue is that restart the reporting services running on this server and than clear cache and the usage data and than try to run the report again.

Changes in InventTrans Data Model in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Version

After the upgrade from AX 2009 to AX 2012.My client has raised an issue that he was not able to select the delivery note and physical date from Stock Transactions table in selection criteria on the SalesEditLines Form.

After some research I found out that there is same change in InventTransData Model and thats why query associated to the SalesEditLines Form is also modified that's why user was not able to see the two fields as they were in AX 2009.

Below is the Screen Shot taken from AX 2009 of the form SalesEditLines Form:

Above form can be access through the below navigation path:

Account Receivable -> Periodic -> Sales update -> invoice

As you can see in the above image Stock Transactions table was available in selection criteria in AX 2009 but in AX 2012 it is change in the query associated to this form due to change in the data model of InventTrans.

Below is the link that contains the description of change in InventTrans Data model in AX 2012.

Dynamics AX 2012 SSRS Report Parameter Label Truncate Issue

I was having an issue on SSRS report that label of my parameter was truncating.

The issue was that I was not using any Label Id for the parameter text.

Below are the steps to resolve this issue.

1. Creating a label with label id
2. Prefixing "literalstr()" around the label - e.g. SysOperationLabelAttribute(literalstr("@lbl001"))

Below is the link for more detail on this issue:

Getting name of the Query Associated to the Form

There are many forms  in which user have the rights to modify the selection criteria on the form.

The forms that shows the selection criteria are basically associated with query.

Below is the navigation path of the form,I have took this as an example.

Go Account Receivable / Periodic / Sales Update / Invoice/

A form will open as you can see this in the below image.

 Now click on the select button.A new form will open this is basically the form where you can specify the selection criteria.

This form is basically based on the query i,e is associated to the form.

You can see the screen shot of this selection criteria form in the below image.

Now to find the query i,e bind to this form just right click it and and than select the personalize tab and than click advance tab and than see the field in the caller field.

The caller field contains the name of the query i,e  associated to this form.

You can see this in the below image.

Below is the query i.e salesupdatepackingslip associated to above form.
