Dynamic subject line for purch order report emails

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Abhinay Tharwal 1,244

Hi all,

I am trying to edit PurchPurchaseOrderController class to add a custom email subject in DAX 2012 R3, but the subject line gets overwritten when it reaches formLetterController.startOperation();

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you!

P.S.: I am trying to only modify the aforementioned class, and not write any job or class to run the report to send emails. I hope that is possible.

    how are you setting filename ? Are you setting it in SRSPrintDestinationSettings object and then passing those settings to controller ?

    see below example I am doing the same thing and its working for me , I am doing this in a batch.

    SrsReportRunController          controller = new SrsReportRunController();
        HRMParameters                   parameter = HRMParameters::find();
        SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;
        FilePath                        outputFilePath;
        Str1260                         subject,body;
        
        ;

        subject = "active employee report";
        body = "your hTML body"

       
        // Define report and report design to use
        controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(ReconReport, PrecisionDesign1));

        // Use execution mode appropriate to your situation
        //controller.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::ScheduledBatch);

        // Suppress report dialog
        controller.parmShowDialog(false);

        controller.parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false);


        // SrsReportDataContract srsReportDataContract = controller.parmReportContract();
        //srsReportDataContract.parmisMemoryStreamOnly(true);
        //controller.parmReportContract(srsReportDataContract);

        // Change print settings as needed
        settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
        // set the print destination in contract
        settings.overridePrintContractSettings(true);
        
        settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Email);
        settings.emailAttachmentFileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::Excel);
        settings.emailTo(email@gmail.com);
        settings.emailSubject(subject);
        settings.fileName('ReconData');
        settings.parmEMailContract().parmBody(body);
        //settings.overwriteFile(true);

      

        controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings(settings);
        // Execute the report
        controller.startOperation();

    Hi Sukrut,

    Thank you for your reply.

    I guess it is not about the file name. In the PurchPurchaseOrderController class's main method I tried

    formLetterController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().emailSubject("Test");
formLetterController.startOperation();


    and other methods those I have tried are:

    protected void preRunModifyContract()
{
    this.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().emailSubject("Test");
    super();
    this.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().emailSubject("Test");
}

    protected void postReportRun(SRSReportExecutionInfo _executionInfo)
{
    this.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().emailSubject("Test");
    super(_executionInfo);
    this.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().emailSubject("Test");
}


    To clarify where I have setup the to email id:

    AP>Setup>Forms>Form setup>Print management button>Purchase order>Destination>Print setup>Email


    I also tried your approach, which did not yield any different result:

    public static void main(Args _args)
{
    SrsReportRunController          formLetterController = PurchPurchaseOrderController::construct();
    PurchPurchaseOrderController    controller;
    SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;

    if (TradeFormHelper::isCalledFromForm(_args, formStr(VendPurchOrderJournalListPage)))
    {
        _args.record(VendPurchOrderJour::findRecId(_args.record().RecId));
    }

    controller = formLetterController;
    controller.initArgs(_args, ssrsReportStr(PurchPurchaseOrder, Report));

    if (classIdGet(_args.caller()) == classNum(PurchPurchOrderJournalPrint))
    {
        formLetterController.renderingCompleted += eventhandler(purchPurchOrderJournalPrint::renderingCompleted);
    }
    settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
    settings.overridePrintContractSettings(true);
    settings.emailTo("email@domain.com");
    settings.emailSubject("Test");
    formLetterController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings(settings);
    formLetterController.startOperation();
}

    Print management customization this link seems to be the only way of doing it. I will update the post if I get successful.

    Hi, I know its too late but I faced similar issue where i should alter Email subject of my SSRS report. I simply override runReport() method and changed the email subject as per my requirement.

    public void runReport()
    {
        if (reportContract.parmPrintSettings().printMediumType() == SRSPrintMediumType::Email)
        {
            reportContract.parmPrintSettings().emailSubject('This is sample test email subject');
        }
        super();
    }

    Regards,

    Afsar
