Debug/Test SSRS report in AX 2012

People came across issues like report is not showing data on report or data is not per their expectation. 

It is really hard to judge where it goes wrong and what needs to be correct in which class RDP, Contract, UI or Controller.

Following sample job can be used to debug SSRS report processing data and lead to find what goes unexpected. 

static void FF_ReportDPTest(Args _args)

{

    // temp table declaration

    FF_ReportTmpTable       ffReportTmp;

    // RDP class binded with FF_Report

    FF_ReportDP             dataProvider = new FF_ReportDP();

    // Contract class for report parameters

    FF_ReportContract       contract = new FF_ReportContract();

   

    // Parameters for reports   

    FreeText                companyName;

    CustAccount             customerAccount;

   

    // set parameters to contract class

    contract.parmCompany(companyName);

    contract.parmCustomerAccount(customerAccount);

    // set contract parameters to RDP class

    dataProvider.parmDataContract(contract);

   

    // call Data provider class to process report.

    dataProvider.processReport();

   

    // retrieve data from RDP class into temp table

    ffReportTmp = dataProvider.getFF_ReportReportTmp();

    // select data from temp table for testing purpose.   

    while select ffReportTmp

    {

        info(ffReportTmp.AccountNum);

    }

}
