Debugging SSRS-Dataprovider

In the past i often had the problem, that i had to debug a dataprovider of a SSRS-Report, which could not be debugged using the well known Dynamics AX Debugger (for example because the dataprovider is executed only on server).

Therefore i created the below job (DataProvider has to extend SRSReportDataProviderBase), which only puts the content of the created (temporary) table to an simple infolog.

In the example the report "Work note" of the service module is used.

static void testSSRSDatProvider(Args _args)
{
    SMAWorkNoteTmp      tempTable;
    SMAWorkNoteDP       dataProvider = new SMAWorkNoteDP();
    SMAWorkNoteContract contract = new SMAWorkNoteContract();
    Query               query = new Query(identifierStr(SMAWorkNote));

    try
    {
        SysQuery::findOrCreateRange(
            query.dataSourceTable(
                tableNum(SMAServiceOrderTable)),
                fieldNum(SMAServiceOrderTable, ServiceOrderId)).value("00018");

        contract.parmItemConsumption(true);
        contract.parmItemRequirement(true);
        contract.parmExpense(true);
        contract.parmFee(true);
        contract.parmAdditionalNotes(true);
        contract.parmLineText(true);

        if( !contract.validate())
        {
            throw error(error::missingParameter(contract));    
        }

        dataProvider.parmDataContract(contract);
        dataProvider.parmQuery(query);
        dataProvider.processReport();

        tempTable = dataProvider.getSMAWorkNoteTmp();

        while select tempTable
        {
            info(tempTable.otServiceOrderId);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception::Break)
    {
        info("Aborted");
    }
}
