Reports gives correct output in previewer but not when deployed [message #387409]

Hi,

We have a very unusual problem (For Reports 10g Release1).

A report we developed gives correct output when run in the report designer's previewer (paper layout).

But when we deploy the report in the web server, give the same inputs and run it it gives the wrong output. I.e. it shows extra rows that should not be there.

Why do you think this is?

We are unable to locate the problem source.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Rohan

What are "extra rows"? Empty lines or data that shouldn't be there?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Extra lines are rows that come which should not be there.

I have uploaded a screenshot of the output we get when we deploy and run the report (scr 4.GIF in File Attachments below).

Under 'Usage' field, the red circled ones are rows that should not be there, since they are BELOW the 'Threshold Value'.

When we run the report in the reports designer, we only get the correct rows (i.e. rows which has 'Usage' less than or equal to the 'Threshold Value'').

Regards,
Rohan.

Huh, strange ...

Did you try to "Compile All" the report (Ctrl + Shift + K) before moving it to the application server?

I have no idea. That's really awkward; why would the same report (it IS the same report, right? You didn't misplaced it?) produce different results when run in paper layout and web layout?

SELECT statement can't be the reason - it just doesn't make sense and, as far as I can tell, layout type doesn't affect query results.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't know what to do. Hopefully, someone else will be able to help. Anyway, if you ever come to solution, please, post it here.

We finally solved it.

Problem was we were using a ''User Parameter'' (which did not actually get any input from when the report was being called) as a placeholder column.

Once we removed it and put a placeholder in place of that it worked fine both in developer and server.

This goes to show that we should not use user parameters to do calculations in the report.

Thanks for your inputs.

Really appreicate it.

Oh, so it was a parameter who produced such a mess?!? Can't believe it!

Thank you for the feedback; I'm glad you managed to solve the problem!
