SSRS – Changes to Handling of SSRS Reports (301-ssrs-util)

Changes to Behavior of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

Version 6.1.2206.0142 / 6.1.1811.2019

Overview

The following contains a description of the changes to the behavior of the SSRS feature in Govern

New Features and Changes in Behavior

Parameter Setup Changes

Users should note that parameters are no longer setup in the Reports Parameters screen. This screen will display only the run options that have been configured in GNA.

Possible “Run on” options that can be displayed are as follows:

On Database – Is configured to do not pass any record that is listed in the Govern Dataset Treeview.

On Recordset – Select this option when the SSRS report is to process a set of records. *

On Current Record – Select this option when the SSRS report is to process the current record.*

Changes related to Recordsets

The Recordsets created by the On RecordSet and On Current Record options come from the DataSet Treeview and are saved into the database (Table: USR_SAVED_DATASETS).
These records are grouped by the field SAVED_SET_NAME with a name like: SSRS_REPORT_GUID, where the GUID is a random GUI text generated at runtime.

Since these new recordsets are temporary, they are automatically removed each time a new SSRS report is executed. The criteria for removal is determined by confirming that SAVED_SET_NAME is like SSRS_REPORT_GUID and the field LAST_MODIF_DATE is older than the day before the current execution. For example, if a report execution is done on 08/10/2022, then all reports created before 08/09/2022 will be removed.

Note the following:

  • The Output tab with the report result is no longer displayed for SSRS reports.
  • The report result will be displayed directly on the default browser pointing to the SSRS server that has been configured for Govern.

New Online SSRS Viewer

In the new online SSRS viewer, the end user must perform the following actions to get the Report.

  1. Select/full fill the Report Parameter fields with the desired values for the report.
  2. Click the View Report button.
  3. A preview for the report will be displayed in the bottom.

To download the report, the user must select any of the output formats for the report with a click on the Save button.

To print the report

  1. Click the Print icon.
  2. The report will not be modified and will be copied into the TEMP folder, but in order to execute the report, it will keep looking in the Custom and Standard folders configured in the GNA settings.

 

NOTE: The appearance of the online SSRS screen can vary depending on the SSRS report version installed on the end users server.

This screen will display only the parameters configured as Visible on the report. Hidden parameters are not displayed here and must be configured in GNA under the parameters section in order to map a Govern Id value to them.

Considerations when running an SSRS report

  • At least one Run on option must be selected to run the report.
  • Reports created or edited in Report Builder 3.0 (2014), and the New SSRS Report Builder (2016), are supported and will be executed in Govern.
  • The report must have the SERVER and DATABASE parameters, where the parameters must be configured as:
    • The very first parameters in the report parameters; this because they will be used to configure the datasource.
    • The parameter visibility can be configured as Visible, or Hidden (this is the preferred value).
    • These parameters will be mapped by Govern with the name and database that are to be used to process the report.
    • The DataType must be ‘Text‘.
  • For the options On Recordset and On Current Record,  the report must have a parameter like RECORDSET_{GOVERN_ID} where:
    • {GOVERN_ID} is the Govern ID that will be used to filter the records.
      For example: if the Govern profile that will use the report is configured to use Parcel Ids, then the name for the parameter will be RECORDSET_P_ID.
    • The DataType must be ‘Text‘.
    • The parameter visibility could be configured as Visible, or Hidden (this is the preferred value).
    • A new recordset entry will be created with a dataset name like SSRS_REPORT_{GUID} to store the GovernId, or set of GovernIds that will be used for the operation.
    • These datasets will not be visible to the user in Govern in the Saved Dataset(s) screen.
    • These datasets will be automatically removed from the database after 2 days, upon the next SSRS report execution.
  • The new SSRS report functionality is no longer creating copies in the TEMP folder that is configured in GNA. As a result of this change, it means that the new version is no longer supporting:
    • Add filters on execution time.
    • Display the report output or parameters at govern.

In order to create/add these parameters the SSRS Converter Tool can be used to convert the rdl reports.

Transfer Credit from One Year to Another Batch Process (101-ar-bp-013)

Transfer Credit from One Year to Another Batch Process

Overview

The Transfer Credit from One Year to another batch process is run to adjust accounts by removing credits from one year and applying them to another. This is useful if you prefer to credit accounts at year end, rather than providing refunds for overpayments.

Transfer Credits from One Year to Another new parameters

 Availability: Release6.1.1707.1303 | 6.1.1811 | 6.1.1911 | 6.1.1912

NEW! The following new option parameters are an enhancement to the existing batch process for A/R – Transfer Credits from One Year to Another.

The new modifications will allow users to…:

  • Enable a minimum/maximum value to transfer
  • Introduce the ability to select from a saved dataset

In addition to the above modifications, users can exclude any properties which have a credit over a specific amount, and have had an owner transfer as of Department As of Date of the current year.

The transferring of Open Credits (OCR) is now optional; a flag in the system registry will display or hide the Open Credit section of the Batch Process.

Users no longer have to select a Batch Number for the payments and reversals transactions, they will be auto-created as needed.

If the batch Process needs to auto-generate a RECEIPT_NO, it no longer uses (Table: usr_key_receipt), it now uses (Table: usr_key_dynamic) where the key_name is RECEIPT_NO[<alias_id>] where <alias_id> comes from (Table:usr_key_receipt.alias_id) and the key format (key_format) is “{0:D8}“, the same as it was formatted before. A verify database process will transfer necessary keys and drop (Table: usr_key_receipt) afterwards.

Govern New Administration (GNA)

There are changes in the GNA General Settings Editor to accommodate the above described options.

To locate these parameters in GNA…

  1. On the GNA ribbon select Parameters (tab) > System Parameters (group) > General Settings Editor
  2. In the OpenForms General Setting form, in the Registry Filter parameter, select Batch Process.
  3. Under the A/R Transfer Credits section you will note two (2) parameters: Allow transfer of Open Credits from one year to another, and Real Property – Maximum Credit Owner Transfer.

OpenForms General Settings – A/R Transfer Credits (section)

Allow transfer of Open Credits from one year to another – Select this option to allow the transfer of Open Credits from one year to another.

Real Property – Maximum Credit Owner Transfer – This parameter is used only for the Real Property Tax subsystem. This enhancement will look at the property owner to determine if the effective date of ownership is as of Department As of Date of the current calendar year that the batch process is being run in.

DEV NOTE: The query used to check the owner transfer is:

SELECT * FROM pc_owner 
   WITH (NOLOCK) 
   WHERE p_id=@p_id 
      AND status = 'O' 
      AND seq_priority = 1 
      AND as_of_date>=@department_as_of_date;

If the balance of the credit is above the amount set, then the transfer is not completed. Any amount equal to or below the amount set will be transferred. The transfer will proceed even if it is outside of the Minimum / Maximum threshold.

Batch Process parameters

In the Govern batch process, there are parameters in the Criteria Selection (group). They are as follows:

Transfer Credits from One Year to Another batch process parameter

  • Saved Dataset: This dropdown selection will enable you to select from a predefined dataset built in Govern.
    • It is enabled for all subsystems
    • The dataset is a selection of P_ID-s, except for the subsystems which work by name (AC, BR, BT, MB, MV, ST). In instances where the subsystem is AC/BR/BT/MB/MV/ST, the dataset will be a selection of NA_ID’s.
  • Minimum / Maximum Amount: new options to select a range of amounts to include in the process.
    • This parameter is enabled for all subsystems. When an Minimum Amount entered, values less than the entered amount will not be processed. (i.e., Input as a Positive Value).
    • If an amount is entered into the Maximum Amount parameter, anything greater than the entered amount will not be processed. (i.e., Input as a Positive Value)
    • If the parameters are empty, all amounts will be processed.
