Issue to fix reports in LAC365 version 5.2.0.5 * Extension only - 'Unable to fix non-precision design reports. Please use report replacement for such reports'

Authors list

Please be aware that the 'Fix report' function only works within a DEV environment. This article provides a guide to resolving the following error message:

 'Unable to fix non-precision design reports. Please use report replacement for such reports'

The error message will appear if a report is being fixed in an environment not containing the metadata for the report (model), such as if the environment only contains AOT packages and no models. In this scenario, it's not possible to fix the report as the source code does not exist.


For the proper routine for 'Fix report', please follow these steps:


1. Start in an environment containing the source code (models)

2. Create a deployable package containing the model which contains the fixes - such as the model 'LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite'.

The last step in the Wizard for 'Fix report' will show which model should be used to create the AOT package.


3. Install or Deploy the AOT-Package into the next environment.

Please start using replacement reports as fix reports isn't needed with replacement reports- Performance is also much faster as there's no rendering through SSRS (reporting Server).
