Forum Post: Management Reporter 2012 - Unable to Open Column Definitions after Migration from FRx

Hi All –

Our client is migrating from FRx 6.7 SP9 to MR2012 CU6 (2.1.6041.36). They are currently running GP2010 (11.00.1799). The migration went fairly smoothly except that during the validation process a “Report Designer has stopped working” pop-up window appeared. After I clicked “OK” the window went away and the validation appeared to have completed successfully. I have done this process about 5 times and have never encountered this pop-up before.

After I closed the Migration Wizard, I launched Report Designer and proceeded to fix the building blocks from the migration. The trees and rows were an easy fix. When I tried to open any of the column definitions, Report Designer crashed and I got the following 2 error messages in order:

               “The operation could not be completed due to a problem in the data provider framework.”

               “Value cannot be null. Parameter name: source”

I naturally checked Event Viewer and the error logs led me to believe that this might be a functional currency/ISO code error. There is only 1 GP Company imported into MR2012. I checked in GP and the company does not have a functional currency set up nor an ISO code defined for ZUS$ (which is what they use for transacting).

It seems odd that this would cause the error as I have deployed the GP Legacy connection instead of the Data Mart integration. I did this as they are not on GP 11.00.1860 and I had read that being on an earlier build could create a conflict with the Data Mart.

I also checked and there are no blank Budget IDs in the GL00200 or GL00201 tables for the GP Company.

One other note, they are using Analytical Accounting in their GP Company, but I am not sure how this would be causing the error.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

- James.

Here are all of the error logs that are generated in Event Viewer when I try to open a column definition (in order):
