Error in rptdesign file after migrating from BIRT 2.1.0 to 2.3.1

Hi All,

We are trying to migrate from BIRT 2.1.0 to 2.3.1. rptdesign file is working fine on the BIRT 2.1.0, I can view the report. The rptdesign file has custom javascript in onCreate and onRender method.When I run the same rptdesign file on BIRT 2.3.1. I get the following errors.

1. Caused by: org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: There are errors evaluating script " count++;if(count == 1){permissions= row["Permissions"];}else{permissions= permissions+" ,"+row["Permissions"];}":ReferenceError: "count" is not defined. (/report/body/table[@id="213"]/detail/row[@id="218"]/method[@name="onCreate"]#2).

2. Caused by: org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: There are errors evaluating script "permissions":ReferenceError: "permissions" is not defined. (<inline>#1).

I am attaching the rptdesign file. Any suggestions/comments are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

BIRT_Rahul,

Try putting the following in your initialize script method of your report:

permissions = "";
count= 0;

Also, you may need to get rid of 'var' before your variables in your onRender method to make them the same as these. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for the reply.

I have changed the

var permissions = "";
var count= 0;

to

permissions = "";
count= 0;

in onRender method, I can now view the report in the BIRT desginer but when I run the same report using BIRT webviewerexample from BIRT runtime I get the below error.

Caused by: org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.CoreException: There are errors evaluating script "count++;if(count == 1){permissions= row["Permissions"];}else{permissions= permissions+" ,"+row["Permissions"];}":ReferenceError: "count" is not defined. (/report/body/table[@id="213"]/detail/row[@id="218"]/method[@name="onCreate"]#1). at org.eclipse.birt.core.script.ScriptContext.eval(ScriptContext.java:300)

I am forwarding the stacktrace as attachment.In your reply you asked me to put the variables in the initialize script method. Can you please let me know where do i need to set in detail as I am new to BIRT.

Regards,

Rahul

Rahul,

Click on your report layout somewhere that is not clicking on a report item. Then, click on the script tab underneath the design window. That should open up the initialize method for the report. Initialize the variables here as well. I think that will get rid of your problem.
