Remote workflow execution merges multiple report pages

Hi,

if I run a workflow with report output remotely via the KNIME server, the exported report (in xlsx format) has only 1 worksheet. Apparently all separate report pages are concatenated into a single page in the xlsx-output.

If I run the report locally via BIRT → Export xlsx, I receive an excel file with multiple worksheets.

Using the node Call Local Workflow results in the same issue.

Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi @andpaw

Thank you for your question. I am trying to reproduce the behaviour.

Could you let me know what KNIME Server version and AP version you are using?

Best wishes
Ana

Hi Ana,

I’m using KNIME Server 4.12.3, Executor 4.3.3 and AP 4.3.2.

Best regards,

Hi @andpaw

Thank you so much, I tried to reproduce it but was not able too.

Can you send me a small reproducible example workflow? Please with only dummy data.

Best wishes

Hi Ana,

I’ve created two minimal example workflows and the two corresponding report outputs.
default_report.xlsx (4.0 KB) ExampleReport_0.xlsx (3.5 KB) ReportTest.knwf (22.4 KB) RunReportTest.knwf (27.8 KB)

To reproduce the issue you can export the report that is contained in the workflow ReportTest in two ways:

  1. Open the report in ReportTest and export it as xlsx:

    → You will see an excel containing two worksheets

  2. Run the workflow RunReportTest
    → This will also store the report in xlsx format, but you will see only one worksheet

I’ve also attached my two report outputs for comparison.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi @andpaw

Definitely true, I can reproduce. I will open a ticket for this. Thank you so much for the patience sending me these files and letting us know.

I am trying to figure it out a way around it.

Hi @andpaw

I was not able to find out a way yet to overcome the issue, unfortunately. I have raised a bug ticket internally to fix the issue.

I am sorry for the inconvenience.
