Create a Report Error

Permanently deleted user

I am having an issue with using the "Create a Report" button. When I identify a feature then open the attribute popup and click on "Create a Report" I get the error "The report operation could not complete successfully. Please contact your system administrator for assistance. [XML_BadStartNameChar]" . If I do this first then the error persists with any other method of report generation. If I reload the viewer, use another method to generate a report, like using a tool under "I Want To" it works perfectly. As soon as I go back to the first method the error repeats.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

    Stephanie,

    I just came across my first encounter with this Xml_badStartNameChar. Did you ever solve this problem?

    If so, can you share your solution?

    Thx...Walter

    Hi Walter and Stephanie,

    The presence of [XML_BadStartNameChar] in the error message indicates that this is a problem that happens within the Silverlight application before it makes the request to the server to gernerate the report. [XML_BadStartNameChar] is a place holder for a language resource in Silverlight that will only be translated if you have installed the developer version of the Silverlight plugin. What I suspect is happening is the application fails when it tries to assemble the parameters to send to the report endpoint. Internally we use an XML writer to build the report parameters. There is likely something about the state of your map that it can't handle/can't be be formatted. This seems to agree with your experience Stephanie where it works from the I Want To Menu, but fails when you run the report another way. The most likely source of the problem is graphics on the map. The report parameters include map state information like markup and other graphics.

    @Jamal I think you are experiencing something else because your error message is different and refers to a DataLinking problem on the server side.
