Detached Report

I have one report that creates a preview that is detached from the preview frame. (see attached snapshot) If I move the report to the repository, it appears to generate the PDF, but the report disappears without ever displaying. Actuate 10; Report Design is attached.

Hi jasheets:<br />
Are you using Actuate Java Components for deploying your reports? If so did you place oracle thin driver in the correct location ? Here is a link to an article that will help you understand on where to place your JDBC drivers to view BIRT reports with Actuate deployment products:<br />

Oracle Drivers are OK. All reports work properly except this one and it detaches in both the Designer Preview and after deployed. It displays correctly in the detached frame. When running from the Java Components repository, it indicates that the report is running, then there is a beep where the finished PDF would normally display, but no report.

FYI: The report was originally developed with an earlier version of the Open Source Developer Tool. There are reports that I have developed before and after this particular report and none exhibit this behavior so I can not recreate the condition.

I have now had a second report exhibit this behavior. The second one was a very simple report. I converted its data source to a flat file so I could send it to you and when I did, it worked correctly. I then used that version of the report and converted it back to use my Oracle data source and it now works that way as well

If I try to render the report as a PDF, it will not display when executed from the Java Components repository or iServer Express. If I render it as a HTML page, the report will display, but if I then try to print it as a PDF I get a blank page. If I leave the blank page open and select the print option again, it will then render as a PDF.

Both reports work fine in the Open Source BIRT 2.3.2 preview mode and both reports detach from the frame in BRDPro. I used a utility to compare the BIRT 2.3.2 vs Actuate 10 code and the 'broken' report vs the 'fixed' report and there was no difference in the XML code.
