Issue to Fix Reports in Lasernet FO Connector 5.2.0.5 - Extension Only - 'Unable to fix non-precision design reports...'

The Fix reports function only works within a DEV environment. This article provides a guide to resolving the following error message:

Error

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), for instance, if the environment only contains AOT packages and no models. In this scenario, it is not possible to fix the report as the source code does not exist.

For the proper routine to use the Fix reports function, follow these steps:

1. Use an environment containing the source code (models).

2. Create a deployable package containing the model that contains the fixes, such as the model LACFixReportsForApplicationSuite.

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

3. Install or Deploy the AOT package into the next environment.

Start using replacement reports as Fix report is not needed with replacement reports. Performance is also much faster as there is no rendering through SSRS (reporting Server).
