How to run report from runnable class ?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Teevo 397
Hello guys,
 
May I know how to run SSRS report from runnable class ?
Also, should we create Menu item output first then call this object instead ? 
 
Thanks

    A report should have a menu item that you'll add to the main menu or to forms and that you'll use in security configuration. But calling it from code is possible too, if you have logic that doesn't belong to the controller class (e.g. you want to print to a file in an automated process, rather than letting users to select a print destination.
     
    Here is an example:
    SrsReportRunController          controller = new SrsReportRunController();
SysUserLicenseCountRDPContract  rdpContract = new SysUserLicenseCountRDPContract();
SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;
 
// Define report and report design to use
controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SysUserLicenseCountReport, Report));
// Use execution mode appropriate to your situation
controller.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);
// Suppress report dialog
controller.parmShowDialog(false);
 
// Explicitly provide all required parameters
rdpContract.parmReportStateDate(systemDateGet());
controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(rdpContract);
 
// Change print settings as needed
settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::Excel);
settings.fileName('UserLicenseCount.xlsx');
 
// Execute the report
controller.startOperation();

    Hi Martin,
     
    Thanks so much. That is so cool. I will try that. 
    Btw, if I only want to test run it, that's why I'm saying run from runnable class (job), I just googling and try based on my "basic" understanding and turns out, my report can run, but is there something I need to take note if I run it like this ?
    internal final class Test_Run
{

    public static void main(Args _args)
    {
        MenuFunction    menuFunction;
                 
        menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemoutputstr(MyReport), MenuItemType::Output);
        menuFunction.run(_args);
    }
}
    Thanks again.

    Hi Teevo,
     
    You could somehow simply copy the code inside the main method of the controller class related to your report, then paste it in the runnable class.
    So it would be sth like this:
     
    YourController controller = new YourController();
    controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(YourReportName, YourReportDesignName));
    controller.StartOperation();
     
    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan

    Hi Layan,
     
    Thanks. But my intention actually simply to run test my report. And at this point, I didn't have or create any controller class. This report also not yet plan to put in the menu.
    It's actually just me learning report development :)
     
    Anyway I can see in the later stage, I might need this controller class, then I can run that also from my runnable class.
     
    Thanks.

    If you just want to run your report, simply create a menu item for this purpose; you can delete it later if you won't need it in the real solution. But it's much less work than writing a runnable class with all the code.
     
    There always is a controller class, you just don't have to create your own if the standard logic works for you. In that case, SrsReportRunController class is used. You can see that the code I gave you also uses SrsReportRunController and not a custom controller written specifically for one particular report.
