3301: Cannot get report parameters for the specified file

Hi There, 
I hope you can help me! 
I designed a report in the ECLIPSE Luna (and later in ECLIPSE Mars) and the report is working as designed in the Previews. 
But when I deploy and run it in my iServer 11 I received the following failure message: 
â€œ 3301: Cannot get report parameters for the specified file. â€œ 
The failure does not change, if I remove all parameters. I tried to figure out at which step in the report design process the failure starts. It stars in the moment when I use data cubes / cross tabs. I am very sure that the failure message is not about the Parameters. 
I believe that the failure is related to version differences in the report designer Eclipse Luna and the iServer 11. But frankly speaking, I have no idea what do to in order to fix that. How can I set up a development environment which allows me to design reports running on my iServer 11? 
Or is there any way to fix my report? 
Your help would be highly appreciated!

That is most likely due to the fact the version of BIRT used in iServer 11 is earlier than Luna or Mars. I looked at my old version 11 designer and it is eclipse 3.7.2.
 
You can try replace lines 2 and 3 of your XML source with this (it MIGHT work as it depends on what features you are using).

Hi Mica,
 
Looks like a great idea. My other reports do work if I replace in line 2 Version="3.2.23" with Version ="3.2.22" but this is not working when cross tab is involved.
 
Do I understand it correctly, that I will not have the Problem once I do develop my reports in eclipse 3.7.2?
 
Many thanks for your help!

Hello,
Many thanks for your help.
 
I designed the Report in eclipse 3.7.2 - still no working.
 
Meanwhile I figured out that my iServer is Version 11 SP3 and reports to be designed in ActuateProfessionalOne. Done so! I have still the same Problem :-(
 
In the Moment I have a CrossTab my reports show the mentioned failure message and won't run.
Maybe someone experiences that Problem already.
 
Is it possible, that there are restrictions with the license?
 
Many thanks

If you have iServer then you should be using BD Pro (commercial) that came with your iServer. I am not sure which version that is. You can contact Actuate support.

The supported version of the designer for iServer 11 SP3 is equivalent to Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.6.3.v20111028-0207 Build <2.6.3.v20111028-0207>
The 3.7.2 designer is not supported to be used with 11 SP3 as it is designed to be utilized by iServer 11 SP4 branch, and will contain functionality changes that are incompatible.
 
The iServer is backwards compatible in most cases to previous version of the designer, but not necessarily to future versions of the designer.

Hi Ryan,
 
it seems that you were giving me the answer I was so desperately looking for! Thanks a lot! I am getting closer.
 
I tried to download Eclipse as mentioned. But 3.6.3. was not existing. But I could get Eclipse Helios 3.6.2.
The Cross Tabs designed there are working. You cannot imagine how that felt ;-)
 
But...
 
I designed the attached Report. The Report is working in the BIRT Report Viewer. But when I open it on the iServer SP3 it opens, but the Cross Tab is empty.
 
Any idea?
 
Thanks for your great help so far!
 
regards

Miriam,
 
I think there may have been a problem in attaching the report you were mentioning.
Could you try again?
Also, if you look at the jsrvr11 log files (or jfctsrvr11 if it is scheduled/async job), can you find the error message?
The stack trace from the same will usually provide a good path for how to proceed.

Mima

Here we go...
 
can you tell me were to find the logs?
 
Cannot find them....
 
Thanks

Miriam,
 
The acpmdconfig.xml file is located in $AC_SERVER_HOME$/etc/ (wherever you installed the iServer 11SP3).
The acpmdconfig.xml file contains the value for $AC_DATA_HOME$
 
Logs are located in $AC_DATA_HOME$/server/log/

Mima

Hi Ryan,
 
Thanks.... And here are the logs.

Miriam,
 
Looking back on this thread, was the XML of the report design manually edited to put in the proper version of the designer, or did your team use BRD Pro 11SP3 to create the reports?
Looking at the logs, there is an issue binding to a column that is created as output by means of renaming (select col_A as My_Column), which looks like it should be used in the crosstab.
I think the next steps on this to investigate further if you did use BRD Pro 11SP3 would be to open a case with our support team by email (support@opentext.com) so that we can get more in depth into the issues.
Thanks!

Hello Ryan,
 
The report was designed in Eclipse Version: 3.6.2 Build id: M20110210-1200. When running the report from the Eclipse preview I get the failure message: â€œLine 2: The property â€œrowFetchSizeâ€ in the element â€œreportâ€ is not definedâ€. But when I continue the report shows without a problem.
 
As described before, the same report deployed in Actuate is running, but the content of the cross tab does not show.
 
Regards
 
Miriam

Miriam,
 
3.6.2 is after the 11SP3 release, so I cannot guarantee that any of the items would operate as expected as there is a full major version revision between the two designers.
 
Please recreate the reports using the BIRT Designer Professional application and test, or utilize Open Source version 2.6.3 or lower to create the reports.

Mima

Hi Ryan,
 
sorry my mistake. Tje ersion 3.6.2 is the version of the eclipse but the BIRT plugin is Version 2.6.2. Meanwhile I am a bit confused.
 
Many thanks
 
Miriam

You can download the full open source eclipse BIRT all in one designer version 2.6.2 here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://archive.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-2_6_2-201102191842'>http://archive.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-2_6_2-201102191842</a>
 
Please try using that specific download/version.

Mima

Hi Jesse,
 
this is exactly the eclipse I have mentioned. The birt designer version 2.6.2. is the plugin in the 3.6.2 eclipse which will be downloaded in the package.
 
So finally I am sure, that I am using the correct environment.
The only remaining is my failure search.
 
Many thanks for your help

Miriam,
 
My suggestion would be to open a case with OpenText support via email (support@opentext.com) letting them know you are needing assistance with a report that is not running in iServer 11 SP3.
This looks like it will take a bit of digging into the report design and logging set to fine or finest levels on the iServer where it runs.
