Report Designer - Table does not exist? - acumatica

I'm trying to create a report in Report Designer. It uses three tables: SOShipment, SOShipLine, and Inventory Item. But when I try to run it, I get the following error:
System.Exception: The table SOShipLine does not exist.
But SOShipLine definitely exists. It's a core part of Acumatica, I got it from the instance in the Schema Builder, and I even double-checked the database to be absolutely sure that it exists. What's going on here?

I figured out the problem. I had an invalid filter. I had Value1 as [#StartDate], when it should have been either #StartDate or =[#StartDate]. The error it gave me was very confusing, though.

INCostSubitemXRef does not exist in database

I am getting error INCostSubitemXRef does not exist in database while release material issue in acumatica
Verify that the table truly exists in your database. It is a standard table, so this appears to be data corruption in the form of a dropped table. The table is INCostSubItemXRef (note the case), and the DAC is defined in PX.Objects.IN.INCostSubItemXRef.
If you find that the table exists in the database, you will need to provide more details like Acumatica version, screen/graph creating the error, and any additional information in the trace.

Segmented Keys in ACUMATICA

I’ve created new Segmented Keys in ACUMATICA for use in a specific module. I would like to assign the Dimension name dynamically but I noticed it works only with hard code or name like [PXDimension(“VENDOR”)]
Also, I have some limitation to create an IF Conditional inside the customized field… it does not recognize the IF clause (see the image).
I would appreciate any suggestion how to solve this issue.
I haven't seen how your original attempt at PXDimension looked, but I'm going to take a guess and assume you tried to reference a new custom field contained in a setup table, something like:
[PXDimension(typeof(XXMySetup.usrMyCustomField))]
If that's indeed what you tried to do, one very important thing to do is to ensure that you have a view for your table in your graph, otherwise the attribute will not find the table and record in your cache. For instance:
public PXSetup<XXMySetup> XXMySetup;
Without this view declared in the graph, the dimension attribute will not work as expected. It would be nice if a clear exception was thrown in this case - I made the same mistake recently and it would have been helpful.

Pulling custom field into Rally Query

I am creating a Query using the Rally/Excel plug-in. I am creating the report with a base type of Task but want to include User Story information in the Query.
I have been able to do this before by adding "WorkProduct.Release" into the columns listing. That works no problem. When I attempt this with a custom field named "CR#" I get no contents being returned.
I am able to pull custom fields from the Task itself without issue it just appears to be an issue when pulling from the parent object.
I have verified the field name and that the content is actually populated. Does anyone know a way to pull this data via the excel plug-in or if there is a limitation with pulling custom field information from a parent?
In Web Serivces API Workproduct attribute is Artifact. Artifact is a parent of Task, HierarchicalRequirement (user story) and Defects, and other work item types. Those types can have custom fields created on them, but the parent Artifact is not aware of them. It is not possible to traverse from Artifact to a custom field, and it should also not be possible to traverse to Iteration or Release from Artifact. Those fields do not exist on Artifact object in the API. It is possible to traverse Workproduct.FormattedID because FormattedID attribute exists on Artifact. That's where work item types inherit the FormattedID from. If I use Workproduct.Release or Workproduct.Iteration in Excel plugin in a query on a Task object following this syntax:
(Workproduct.Iteration = /iteration/12352898163)
I get this error:
(Workproduct.Iteration.Name = it123)
will produce a similar error.
I put this to the Rally Support folks and got the following answer, so the short answer is no...can't be done:
When you query using WorkProduct.FormattedID on a task, the data can
be returned because that field is part of "Artifact". You can see
this by looking at the Web Services API information, which I have
included some screenshots to illustrate this. The custom field you
are trying to query doesn't reside on Artifact, so is not found by the
query.
The actual work product that has your custom field would be either a
defect or a story, but the Task object does not reference back to that
to allow you to query.
You could do another query for the different work products and include
the custom field, then combine the two worksheets.

COGNOS gives error 'Column ambiguously defined'

When I try to run a report in COGNOS Report Studio, I get error : ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined
Now there is no way to get the runtime sql and test it out against the oracle db. So I am left groping around.
My question is...when we develop the model in framework manager, we do not write our own sql. Just specify the tables and columns and joins. So the error should never come because this error come when you forget to prefix a column name with the table alias.
I agree it is odd. Start removing data items from the query until it works. Try to narrow it down to a specific data item within a table. See what SQL is generated without the offending field, that should give you a hint as to what is going on.

bind subsonic object collection to Microsoft report (rdlc)

Has anyone been able to use a SubSonic generated collection as a "business object datasource" with Microsoft report (rdlc)? I have generated the SubSonic class code but for some reason the report datasource window is not seeing the class as a potential object collection datasource.
Is there something I need to do for this to work?
Thanks in advance...vsdotnetguy
I have loaded Reporting Service reports from business objects before (loaded via NHibernate -- which isn't exact but close enough for argument sake).
Couple of key points:
1. return your objects in List, even if you are only returning one object.
2. You want FLAT business objects. You might have to go thru a DTO transformation to get that. By flat, I mean the most complex property you can have in a business object is a string and a number (int, decimal, double). If you are expecting to grab a value like this:
myObject.Customer.Name, forget it. Create a CustomerName property.
3. If you need data from multiple places try to break up your reports into subreports. You key off of the datasource key to figure out what data to return to the report.
I'll add more as I remember, it has been a few months since I've done this.
Yes I've done it, you should only need to make sure the project containing your reports references your SubSonic project (obviously :).
Sometimes I've also found that Visual Studio can get a little borked and require a restart before repopulating the datasource window with SubSonic generated objects.
Thx Chris and Adam,
Here is the answer I found.
In my case I wanted to dynamically set the main and subreport datasources at run time using the SubSonic object collections. However, I also wanted to design the report layout using drag and drop of the datasource columns.
But I was unable to design the report using drag&drop because none of my SubSonic collections were showing up in the Website Data Sources.
However, later while I was doing some control binding using the ObjectDataSource control, I noticed that NOW my SubSonic collections were showing up in the Website DataSources window and I could drag and drop the report layout.
So if you are dynamically setting the report datasources at run time and ARE NOT using the ObjectDataSource control already in your project, you MUST add a dummy ObjectDataSource control to one of your aspx pages. This will then make the business object datasources show up in the report designer.
