Hi,

I have a compound PDF report that gets bursted through a schedule to a file location. It was running fine before our environment updated on 8202. When it runs now, the report fails and the error: (FOC36240) THE ON FIELD IS NOT THE FIRST BY FIELD shows in the scheduled email.

Any help is appreciated!

WebFOCUS App Studio version 8202

Post your code and tell us which field you are bursting with. Even though it used to work it has always been the case that the burst field has to be the first referenced BY field in the report. So even if you have to modify the report and make that the first BY field and put NOPRINT after it to keep it from being displayed in the report the error will probably go away.

field I am using to burst is MailboxName

That looks correct to me. Just for fun try it without the PAGE-BREAK.

Was not able to get it to work by removing the page-break.

What message did it give you.

(FOC36240) THE ON FIELD IS NOT THE FIRST BY FIELD Task error: IBFSException 6000: Error executing procedure CLQI_PPO_V3_BURSTING.fex No report to distribute.

Since this is a compound report all reports need to be sorted by the MAILBOXNAME first so double check that they are.

The MAILBOXNAME is the first by field in every report, and reran and am still receiving the same error.

I recommend you open a case with techsupport to get to the bottom of this. Please post how this gets resolved.

Okay, thanks for the help. I will open a case for this issue.
