New report creation
Hi,
I have developed a new report using my RTCp eclipse client, which receives a user parameter (a list box filled with a query) and shows work items according to the user input. Actually I successfully see the parameter list box properly filled out and the report correctly built using the Preview tab of the .rptdesign file within the RTCp eclipse client. Instead deploying the report on the Jazz server (running on Windows XP) I get the parameter list box empty with no values when running that report. It seems the query populating the list box did not run or failed anyhow. However, I do not see any error/exception logged within both the Tomcat log and the jazz.log files.
Where can I also look for any errors?
I have also tried stopping and restarting the server after report deployment. What am I missing?
Thanks
Salvatore

Hi Salvatore,
One thing we often do to debug report behaviour is to drop data sets
directly on the canvas, and run the report. In this case, drop the
parameter data set on the canvas and run, and see what is displayed. We
disable logging of BIRT errors into the jazz log to avoid irrelevant
clutter, but there's currently no way to re-enable this.
Another debugging tip is that you can do
"java.lang.System.out.println()" in your report, and it will go into the
server log - this is a good way to test values or print checkpoints.

Hi James,
thanks for your response. Could you please better detail the debugging procedure you were suggesting? What do you mean dropping the data sets directly into the canvas?
Thanks again,

Sure. Find a data set in the Data Explorer view. Drag and drop it onto
the Report Designer canvas. This will create a table, with one column
for each column in the data set. Run the report, and you'll get exactly
one row in this table for each row in the data set. In cases where we
use data sets to combine together with other data sets, and then use
them in charts/graphs, it's sometimes helpful just to see exactly what
the data associated with one particular data set is, and this is a
useful way of doing that.

Thanks James for your reply. Actually, doing that I realized that the following exception was thrown:

How can I fix it?
I tried also stopping and restarting the server once the report template got deployed. Even, I removed the tomcat cache before restarting.
Please advice. Thanks
