Open Application Explorer in Visual Studio, expand SSRS Reports node and find the report by name.
Yes but not all reports are named exactly the same , how can i be certain that i am working with that exact report.
It depends on the implementation. Some reports are executed directly from an output menuItem, it will have the name as a property here. Other reports are implemented using a controller class, have a look in the main method often the reportname is set here.
The same as what? What's the input you have?
Hi,
VS solution is only a way to edit the report.
You can always create a new report model project and update the existing report and save back to AOT as martin explained in earlier response. There is no necessity to open the report using one that it was created with.
Now to locate the report in AX trace as follows.
If its exposed directly from UI
Menu ---> find the menu item ---> find the object type
a)If class , please check the corresponding class and find what value is set in either
1) controllerObj.parmreportname() method
2) controllerobj.parmreportContract().parmReportName().
b)If its SSRS report then check the object name and go to this object
If its run from a form button,
Check the button implementation .Some Output MenuItem will be used. follow the same steps as above.
IF the report is invoked during the confirmation, invoicing etc process,
Go to the corresponding journalTable. There should be a printReport method implemented. Go to this and check the menuItem. Follow the above steps. You might need to debug a little for these reports to get the exact report name in these print management report scenario's .
