2643539 - Scheduling ORD (Live Data)/ Ad Hoc Report of any "Date Range" Sub Domain Schema via report distributor/ provisioning ad hoc schedule job fetches data for last 1 year

Symptom

  • Scheduling Ad Hoc Report of any "Date Range" schema via Provisioning Scheduling Job fetches data for last 1 year.
  • Scheduling ORD (Live Data/ Detail Report) of any "Date Range" schema via Report Distributor fetches data for last 1 year.
  • Exported output file from Report Distributor of ORD Live Data Report created based on "Job Information (Date Range)" domain does not contain data prior to last year.
  • Is it possible to fetch data prior to 1 year by scheduling report which is created based on Date Range schema?

Environment

  • Ad Hoc Report (Date Range Sub Domain Schemas)
  • ORD (Detail Report / Live Data of Date Range Sub Domain Schema)
  • Report Distributor

Reproducing the Issue

Scenario 1:

  • Create Ad Hoc or ORD Detail / Live Data Report based on Date Range domain. 
  • Select Employee ID from Employee Information Table
  • Select Few Columns from Job Information Table
  • Run the ORD report Online
  • Runtime Filter window will be prompted
  • Choose the Date Range for Previous 2 Years
  • Data Appears in the Report

Scenario 2:

  • Now create Report Bundle
  • Associate the above ORD Detail Report in Report Bundle
  • Set the Destination as Offline
  • Run the Bundle via Report Distributor Daily Basis
  • Download the exported output file which is generated via Report Distributor
  • Output file contains only last 1 year data.

Resolution

  • This is expected behavior. 
  • Report created on Date Range domain will fetch only 1 year data if the report is scheduled via Report Distributor or Provisioning Ad Hoc Export Schedule Job. 
  • Date Range Sub domain Schema has default 1 year date range. 
  • While running the report online it prompts to change the date range. 
  • However, while scheduling the data range report via report distributor, there is no option to set the date range explicitly in report distributor. 
  • Report Distributor takes last 1 Year default date range under consideration. 
  • Hence, Report Distributor will fetch last 1 year data.
  • NOTE - Advance Reporting can be used as workaround.
