Hi,

I want to add new logic around methods which are defined in the base class for un ssrs. My requirement is to add new column in the report. So i add new field in temp table the i want to feed this field in the method insert that called in processReport.

This method is declared private so i can't use COC due to concept of COC 'can not be used as chain of command method because its target method is not protected'

Trying to use an eventhandler, i get this message : "Pre or post event handlers can only be created on hookable methods"

Is there any other way to overwrite a class method ?

Regards

Moved to D365 Finance forum.

Please check this documentation:

docs.microsoft.com/.../customize-app-suite-reports-with-extensions

You can't hook into private methods. However if you share more details about what kind of change you would like to do in which class, it might be possible to find another way than what you tried.

Thank you for your quick reply.

We would enable logs for ledger fiscal calendar period and then show more information in the column “record identification” instead of global recId.

To do that I need to add new field in temp table of SSRS report and then fill this field in the method SysDatabaseLogDP.insertIntoTempTable() , this method is private, and it called on SysDatabaseLogDP.ProcessReport.

Using the new field, I can get the information I want from FiscalCalendarPeriod and FiscalCalendar

Ok, in this particular case I can't figure out another workaround than duplicating the standard report objects, including controller class. This way you are free to do any modifications that you wish.

You can also log an extensibility request to Microsoft, asking them to make the insertIntoTempTable protected instead of private. But this could take time and there are no guarantees.
