Posted on by Community Member

Hi ,

I need to develop a new report for an existing one .

Report : customer account statement
Customized report : VIK_CustaccoutnstatementExt 2 design , Report and report2

I have duplicated the design and made the changes, This report has 2 design which will get called based on some parameter .

What i would like to understand is how does the report needs to called from the controller class.

Do we need to add anything in the class "PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulator" -> "add documents" method.and add both the report design.

OR we just need to add in the class "PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulator"

case PrintMgmtDocumentType::Ciustome statement report:

_result.result(ssrsReportStr(VIK_CustaccoutnstatementExt , Report)); -> how do i add 2 design over here ?

break;

I want that my custom design to be called by default .
this 2 reports should show in the print management setup under form setup.

thanks,

VikPick

Hi Vikas,

We have this thread where the same requirement has already been discussed. You can check the code suggested there and let us know if you need anything else .

hi Gunjan,

What if the report is not set in the print management setup.

Also do we need to add it in

"PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulator" -> "add documents" method.and add both the report design.

Hi Vikas,

Since you are using thee same document type i.e. PrintMgmtDocumentType::CustAccountStatement, you won't need to add any code in PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulator class. This class has an extension - PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulatorAppSuite_Extension. If you check the addSalesDocuments method, there is a statement to add the standard report for customer account statement -

This in turn will get the default report name from getDefaultReportFormat method in PrintMgmtDocType class, for which you would already have created a CoC.

Had this been a new document type altogether, you would have had to write code in the PrintMgmtReportFormatPopulator class.

Hi Gunjan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

So in this case what all things i need to do.

If I extend a controller class then I will have to change the menu item of the custAccountStatementExt and keep this contollerExt as the menu item for this report to run ?
class CustAccountStatementExtControllerExt extends CustAccountStatementExtController { public static CustAccountStatementExtControllerExt construct() { return new CustAccountStatementExtControllerExt(); } public static void main(Args _args) { SrsReportRunController formLetterController = CustAccountStatementExtControllerExt::construct(); CustAccountStatementExtControllerExt controller = formLetterController; if(parameterA) { controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy, Report)); } else { controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy, ReportB)); } controller.parmArgs(_args); controller.startOperation(); } }

Do I need to create a COC method as well ? because I am going to write the code in PrintMgmtDelegatesHandler class

protected static PrintMgmtReportFormatName getDefaultReportFormat(PrintMgmtDocumentType _docType) { str ret; switch (_docType) { case PrintMgmtDocumentType::CustAccountStatement: if(parameterA) { ret = ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy,Report); } else {ret = ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy,ReportB); } } ret = next getDefaultReportFormat(_docType); return ret; }

So no changes will be required further.

OR
Creating a record in print mgmt class as per abopve snippet itself is self sufficient to handle everything ....we dont even need to create an extension class or COC ?

You don't need to make any changes to the controller class. Change to the print PrintMgmtDelegatesHandler class only should be enough -

protected static PrintMgmtReportFormatName getDefaultReportFormat(PrintMgmtDocumentType _docType) { str ret = next getDefaultReportFormat(_docType);; switch (_docType) { case PrintMgmtDocumentType::CustAccountStatement: if(parameterA) { ret = ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy,Report); } else { ret = ssrsReportStr(CustAccountStatementExtCopy,ReportB); } return ret; }

The report design assignment should be after the next call since you are modifying standard functionality. You also have an if condition based on a parameter. I am not sure where you are fetching that from. You will also need to remove the design selected for customer account statement under Print management, in case you have the setting there.

Hey Gunjan

You are really helping me a lot:) with my queries.

One last question and I will make changes and mark it as complete

So in case user selects any value in the print management will that override the code values or the code value will override the print management settings.

thanks man

Hi Vikas,

If there is a selection in Print management, it seems to override this code assignment( as per the comments in the other thread). I haven't had the chance to debug this myself and check. You could try this after you have made the code changes and see if the print management settings override the code changes.
