Code breaks when SDK upgraded from 10.1.1 to 10.2.1

[harshc]

We have some code around the Cognos SDK functionality which brings the reports out to a servlet in the form of a String (HTML content). It works fine on SDK ver. 10.1.1 but when we replace the 10.1.1 jars (axis.jar, axisCognosClient.jar, cognos-axis.jar, cognosClient.jar) with 10.2.1 version, we get errors.

Specifically, we can connet to the report service, also interrogate what input parameters a report needs. So, the connection to the report service seems to be fin.
But when we try to use the run method to extract the report String, then we get an error.

Details below:
The code breaks on on this line: AsynchReply res = repService.run(sps, prmValArr, runOptions);

Where:
repService = ReportService_PortType
sps = SearchPathSingleObject
prmValArr = ParameterValue[]
runOptions = Option[]

Error is:

[2013-08-30 14:45:01,124] DEBUG [http-bio-8080-exec-2] [ReportRunner.java:518] - Message:   Server Error

Has anyone faced this issue before? Any changes or gotchas when upgrading to the Cognos 10.2.1 SDK?

Hi there.

I have not used 10.2 before, however this might help you to get a better idea of the error message:

Code Select Expand

 
private static void useAxisInterface_dumpToString(AxisFault ex, String src)
{
String details = ex.dumpToString();
System.out.println("\n\n1) Axis Fault message in: " + src);
System.out.println("-------------------------\n");
String message = ex.getFaultString();
System.out.println("message: " + message + "\n");
logger.error("Axis error - "+ src+": " +message );
System.out.println(details);
}


I call this method inside a catch(AxisFault e)  { }  block to get extra info on the exact error.


Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the reply, but what is the src that you are passing to your method?

[dew]

Hi
The "src" is just a description of the method that caught the exception.   I found it helpful to send details about the query( e.g. searchpath or something) to help track down the problem.

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. Did you solve it? How?


Thanks

I don't know if related or not, but it appears that the order of options changed from 10.1 to 10.2
Our code builds an array in this order of options:

• saveoutput, 1, outputformat, 2 outputEncapsulation, 3 wait, 4 prompt user.
  I found this in <<install>>\c10\sdk\csharp\ExecuteReport\ExecuteReport.cs example:
  arrRunOpts[0] = blnPromptOption;
  arrRunOpts[1] = outputFormat;
  arrRunOpts[2] = primaryWait;
  arrRunOpts[3] = blnSaveOption;
  It appears to me the order of the array has changed.
  Matters?
