Report Validation Failed on Pentaho BI Server

Question

I'm trying to publish this PRD file that I created and it works on my machine when I do a preview. But when I pusblish it to the server it returns "Report validation failed".

The prpt file uses a transformation as a source, and that transformation looks into an excel file that changes daily.

My assumption the BI server is having some problems working out the report is that the sources files that are used are accessed locally on my computer. So I changed the access type to UNC path. While using UNC, I tested it on my machine and it still works. I published it to the server and I still get the same error.

Any suggestions other than looking at the log file of the server?

Answer 1

If you have sub-reports on your report, check if you changed the connection on each sub-report.

Answer 2

If you have defined any parameters check those parameter's properties (Double click on the parameter fields) there is some check boxes , untick the check box and check whether its working or not. if it is working check your parameters that you have defined.
