Print a report in the background as a PDF

ReportReport
Posted on by LH-16011234-0 58
Hi,
 
In a processing class, I print an invoice image in PDF format, which I send via email.
Printing is done directly to memory:
 
        // Actual rendering to byte array
        srsProxy = SRSProxy::constructWithConfiguration(controller.parmReportContract().parmReportServerConfig());
        reportBytes = srsproxy.renderReportToByteArray(controller.parmreportcontract().parmreportpath(),
                                        parameterValueArray,
                                        settings.fileFormat(),
                                        settings.deviceinfo());
 
However, during background processing, the following window appears.
Couldn't this processing window be hidden somehow?
 
Environment: D365 FnO Kernel 10.0.45
 
Thank you in advance.
 
Regards,
László

    I can't see the picture. Please either share it again or describe what you see in the window.
     
    Also, what exactly do you mean by background processing. That you send it to batch server. Or that you run it with Asynchronous execution mode (or so)?

    @LH-16011234-0 can you insert the image using the toolbar Image button? Your image was somehow not saved in your post.
     
    I don't have experience with SRSProxy. Have you tried to debug your code to see where it's showing the dialog? Perhaps there is a parameter to disable? Like parmShowDialog(false) or something.
     
    I have this F&O example to print SRS reports from code (author unknown). I have not tested it but it should work. Perhaps this helps.
     
    SrsReportRunController          controller = new SrsReportRunController();
SysUserLicenseCountRDPContract  rdpContract = new SysUserLicenseCountRDPContract();
SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;
 
controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SysUserLicenseCountReport, Report));
controller.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);
controller.parmShowDialog(false);

rdpContract.parmReportStateDate(systemDateGet());
controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(rdpContract);

settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::Excel);
settings.fileName('licnt.xlsx');
 
controller.startOperation();

    I hope the picture appears now.
    Current method:

            args.parmEnum(PrintCopyOriginal::Original);
            // Provide details to controller and add contract
            controller.parmReportName(reportName);

            settings.fileName(_fileName);
            settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
            // Below is a part of code responsible for rendering the report
            controller.parmReportContract().parmReportServerConfig(SRSConfiguration::getDefaultServerConfiguration());
            controller.parmReportContract().parmReportExecutionInfo(executionInfo);
            srsReportRunService.getReportDataContract(controller.parmreportcontract().parmReportName());
            //srsReportRunService.DAX_ParmSuppressRdpExecutionFlagSet(true);
            srsReportRunService.preRunReport(controller.parmreportcontract());
            reportParametersMap = srsReportRunService.createParamMapFromContract(controller.parmReportContract());
            parameterValueArray = SrsReportRunUtil::getParameterValueArray(reportParametersMap);
            srsProxy = SRSProxy::constructWithConfiguration(controller.parmReportContract().parmReportServerConfig());
            // Actual rendering to byte array
            reportBytes = srsproxy.renderReportToByteArray(controller.parmreportcontract().parmreportpath(),

    Two things, 
    controller.parmShowDialog(false) - To suppress the dialog , which you already have 
    and 
    controller.runReport(); to run the report before rendering the bytes.

    Hi,
     
    Unfortunately, the proposed solution is not good.
     
        //RUN THE REPORT
    controller.parmShowDialog(false);
    controller.runReport();
    //RUN THE REPORT - END
    "controller.parmShowDialog(false);" was already included.
    I get the following error when I run "controller.runReport();": "Parameter executionInfo cannot be null or empty."
     
    Regards,
    László

    I moved your controller.parmShowDialog(false);
     
    Can you tell me where you are you running your method from ?
     
    I had used your exact code to send our report in PDF while on a record.
