OCUM 7.1 and 7.2 custom reports differing in appearance

thywyn222 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:37:23 GMT

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has ran into this and has a solution. I'm creating a report in BIRT and it imports just fine and appears like in BIRT in the OCUM UI. My issue is that it doesn't appear the same when I try to send the output in a scheduled report to email.

I'm trying to get 2 portions of a report on seperate excel tabs/sheets.. In BIRT it exports to and excel file just fine in the report designer, in the OCUM UI the 2nd portion comes up on a seperate page, but when I put it in a schedule the emailed excel sheet has everything on one sheet/tab. This happens in OCUM 7.1 and 7.2

Also, on a side note. I'm having issues with custom reports importing just fine into OCUM and then I adjust the appearance in OCUM (like create a group or aggregate in a column) and save it as a customized report. It fails to email the customized report.. ... Any takers on that?

Yep, that's how I got started. I've noticed this issue with custom reports since about 6.3. RPTDESIGN file imports just fine and looks good in the UI. Exporting the contents is a mixed bag as to what gets formatted or not. Then you try to email an xls or xlsx file and it seems to remove all formating.
