Running report via code in Ax2012

This is a quick example of running an Ax2012 report via code - In this example we're outputting the Vendors report (Accounts Payable / Reports / Vendors / Vendors) directly to a PDF file.

static void RunSSRSReport(Args _args)
{    
    SrsReportRunController  reportRunController;
    Map                     queryContracts;
    MapEnumerator           mapEnum;
    Query                   query;
    QueryBuildRange         range;
    ;
    
    // Create the report run controller
    reportRunController = new SrsReportRunController();
    reportRunController.parmReportName('Vend.Report');
    reportRunController.parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false);
    
    // NB call to parmLoadFromSysLastValue must occur before any reference to 
    // parmReportContract, otherwise the previous values (query ranges etc)
    // are defaulted in.
    
    // Set printer settings (print to file, format, filename, etc).
    reportRunController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
    reportRunController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().overwriteFile(true);    
    reportRunController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
    reportRunController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileName('c:\\test.pdf');
        
    // Find/enumerate queries in the contract. The return from parmQueryContracts is
    // a map of type     
        
    queryContracts = reportRunController.parmReportContract().parmQueryContracts();
    mapEnum = queryContracts.getEnumerator();    
    while(mapEnum.moveNext())    
    {
        // Get the query and update the datasource as required
        query = mapEnum.currentValue();   
        range = SysQuery::findOrCreateRange(query.dataSourceTable(tableNum(VendTable)),fieldNum(VendTable,AccountNum));
        range.value('1*'); 
    }    
    
    // Run the report
    reportRunController.runReport();
    
}

Note that this displays a message to the inflog once the file has been written. This may not be desirable if the file generation is part of a background process - If you need more control of this, have a look at adding an additional flag (eg supressInfoLog) to the classSrsReportRunPrinter.
