How To Fix a Stuck Report in Management Reporter

by Jan Harrigan CPA

What To Do When a Report Gets Queued Up But Won’t Generate

I used to see this fairly often, but thankfully not so much anymore with the advent of Management Reporter 2012.

The report you generate hits the queue, but the status doesn’t change from ‘Queued’. It just sort of sits there:

Management Reporter’s “An Unknown Error Has Occurred”

by Jan Harrigan CPA

One Fix for Management Reporter’s Unknown Error

Just a quick post today. I’ve seen the “An Unknown Error Has Occurred” message less frequently recently, but here’s one I want to mention.

  • Twice it has been due to content in the Header 1 row in a column definition
  • Both times it was on Management Reporter v2.0 (meaning it wasn’t MR 2012)
  • In both instances, the client was running AX
  • One client was running AX2009, the other running AX2012
  • I haven’t seen it on GP yet
  • In both instances, the content in Header 1 was just text, nothing fancy

So if your report is crashing with the ‘unknown error’ message,

  • go see if you’ve got something in Header 1 in the column
  • insert a blank row, then delete Header 1 altogether (so the new blank row becomes Header 1)
  • if that doesn’t work and the column is simple, copy and paste the body into a new column
  • or test and troubleshoot until you get it to work
A quick screenshot

Hope this saves someone some time! Cheers—Jan

(Update—there’s been a terminology change since I wrote this! I originally wrote about Dimension Sets, but in MR 2012, Dimension Sets are now called Dimension Value Sets. And just to make things tougher, Dimension Sets now refer to something completely different. Gotta love it. Anyway, I’ve edited this post to reflect this change.) I was [...]

Using Management Reporter with Dynamics AX? Or maybe thinking about it? This is a quick post on a few things you might want to know.

Using FRx or Management Reporter for Nonprofit Financials

July 5, 2011

I’ve done a lot of work for nonprofits over the last couple of years, and I’ve come to one conclusion—they’re all different! Just like for-profit companies, they each have their own idiosyncracies and their own reporting requirements. What a surprise, huh. But there are some things that you’ll see in many nonprofits, and that’s what today’s post [...]
