How to find the report used in an action?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 211

The last time I needed to change some reports I managed to find them by looking at the buttons that fire them and lookup the same name among the reports.

For example:

Sales Quotation UpdateQuotation
Action/SalesQuotationEditLinesForm_S_S_Action  - > Class/SalesQuotationEditLinesForm
SSRS Reports/SalesQuotation
Packing Slip buttonUpdatePackingSlip
Action/SalesFormLetter_PackingSlip_Action  - > Class/SalesFormLetter
SSRS Reports/SalesPackingSlip

But now I need to find the reports for Purchase Inquiry and Purchase Order Confirmation (I'm pretty sure I've found this one):

Purchase Inquiry PurchFormLetter_ConfirmationRequest
Action/PurchFormLetter_PurchOrder_ConfRequest  - > Class/PurchFormLetter_ConfirmationRequest
???
Purchase Order Confirmation PurchFormLetter_PurchaseOrder
Action/PurchFormLetter_PurchaseOrder_Action  - > Class/PurchFormLetter
SSRS Reports/PurchPurchaseOrder?

But there is nothing called PurchConfirmationRequest or similar. And everything else I've opened looks completely different in the design from what I've got on paper.

I've also consulted the documentation but nothing seems to match. Digging through the various PurchFormLetter classes has been less than fruitful as well.

    Thank you for confirming that I've found the right report for the Purchase Order Confirmation!

    The link you posted is the same I've already linked in my post but thanks anyway.

    The report I'm looking for is presented in this blog article:

    Can't you use the ExecutionLog views on the ReportServer DB within SQL Server? That tells you the exact report and design used.

    All I get is this (replaced & with newlines):

    AX_PartitionKey=initial

    AX_UserContext:isnull=true

    AX_CompanyName=AG

    AX_RenderingCulture=de-ch

    AX_ReportContext=%3FRunOnClient%3D1%26PrintMediumType%3DScreen

    AX_RdpPreProcessedId=5637578096

    FormLetterRecordId=0

    RecordId=5637197081

    IdentificationText:isnull=true

    DocumentTitle=Einkaufsabfrage

    PSAPwpTxt=

    PSAVendorTxt=

    IsPurchConfirmationRequestJournal=True

    I am not sure what you are looking at (seems to be AX-related fields? that is not what I suggested to check), but it does not remind me of ReportServer DB ExecutionLog view.

    [View:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/reporting-services-log-files-and-sources:750:50]

    The fields what tells you the design name are in the documentation which are available in the views.

    Ahh. I was looking at ExecutionLog. Apparently only ExecutionLog2 and ExecutionLog3 contain "ReportPath" field.

    Now I see that both Buttons call the same Report: PurchPurchaseOrder.Report

    Thank You.
