DEVELOPERS FORUM - Report Error Message - "There is no tag in request."

I am trying to modify the ECN report and keep getting this error "There is no tag in request."  I'm not sure what it means, any ideas?

I'm sorry this post is of no real help....but I just wanted to concur with the experience you are having.  I am running Aras 9.2, and whenever I try to create a report of type "Item" ... no matter what query I try to run in the report editor, I get that same message. 

At this point, I am wondering if either I am seriously missing something....or if the report editor tool just straight up doesn't work for Item Reports. Any help that could be offered on this would be great...documentation on the Report Tool is a little sparse.....

Hi,

I quess the Item reports need a context Item, where to get it's id.  the @id works like the this.getID()

the report will run when you run it as a action on a Item. you could test the report by insertng a id directly insted of the @id

Please correct me if I am wrong

Nope, I did try that and still get the same error.  The report does run however, when run from the item.

Here is the one I was running:

Orig:

<Item type="ECN" id="{@id}" action="do_l10n" initial_action="get">
 <Relationships>
  <Item type="ECN Affected Item" action="get">
   <related_id>
    <Item type="Affected Item" action="get" select="action,in_build_disposition,in_service_disposition,in_stock_disposition,on_order_disposition,affected_id(item_number,major_rev),new_item_id(item_number,major_rev)"/>
   </related_id>
  </Item>
 </Relationships>
</Item>

Modified for test (ID pulled from SQL ECN Table)

<Item type="ECN" id="304DA9EEF81A4F22BDA9006F98B6E535" action="do_l10n" initial_action="get">
 <Relationships>
  <Item type="ECN Affected Item" action="get">
   <related_id>
    <Item type="Affected Item" action="get" select="action,in_build_disposition,in_service_disposition,in_stock_disposition,on_order_disposition,affected_id(item_number,major_rev),new_item_id(item_number,major_rev)"/>
   </related_id>
  </Item>
 </Relationships>
</Item>

I finally was able to get the report editor to work by manually putting in the id AND changing the type to 'Generic'

I changed it back to 'Item' when I was done.  For some reason, the 'no tag in request' message shows up when the type is 'Item'

There is still some javascript errors when doing stuff, but it is less painful then manually editing everything in XSL.

Thought someone else might find this useful in the future.
