In the process below, the report's image files are generated, but not the html file. Did I miss out something?

    Hey,

    this seems to be a bug. I created an internal bug report for this.

    Best regards,
    Marius
  • tennenrishintennenrishin Member Posts: 177 Contributor II
    Thanks. This is quite a problem for me. I suppose there is no currently known workaround?

    Try using the Loop operator instead of Loop Examples. In my case that seems to work. Please find the process attached below.

    Thank you!

    Actually, once there is substantial report generating going on inside the loop, this approach seems to suffer from the same problem, intermittently.

    If I'm not mistaken, all the images are usually generated, as well as the html file of the last report. It's as though RM (sometimes) forgets to close all but the last html stream in the loop, but I'm just guessing.

    If anyone has an idea on how RM could be coaxed into closing the stream, I would be very grateful. I know from past experience that putting the loop contents into a separate process would work, but in this case that is not a suitable workaround, for other reasons.

    Hi there,

     

    we also came to this bug.

    Is there already (after 6 years) a solution for this problem available?

    hello @uenge-san - unfortunately the Reporting extension has not been worked on at all in many years. There are so many good BI tools out there right now that we just integrate with them (e.g. Qlik and Tableau) or recommend just doing your reporting in RM Server.

     

    That said, I must admit that I wish the Reporting extension was better as I do find it useful from time to time. You are very welcome to keep nudging us in this direction in Product Ideas via upvoting like in this thread. :)
