SQL Reporting Services - AJAX

[RobZ]

Hi all

newbie Question here, all assistance appreciated.

trying to automate the download of a report from sql Reporting Services.

I can:

a)create the ie browser (and load the page)

b)fill in the required fields

c) run the report.

d) wait for the page to reload (the report data to be added to the page).

the page then loads ( via ajax ) and appends the data into the bottom of the body.

also then the report shows export options ( i want to use CSV).

my problem:

when i run the _IEBodyReadHTML($oIE) function after the page has reloaded, the original content of the body is returned! (same as after point a) above)

The export controls and the actual report data is not returned by the function.(although they are visible on the page, and can be found when viewing page source)

is there a way i can "refresh" the handler to the page "$oIE" to reflect the added controls & data?

below is the Code :

#include <IE.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

; Load the report ------------------------------------------------------------
$oIE = _IECreate("http://xxxxxxxxxxx/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fTest%2fResource+Actuals+For+Projects")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oIE, "ui_form")
; ---  find the cost centre Drop Down 
$oSelect = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "ctl139_ctl00_ctl05_ddValue")
; ---  select our cost Centre 
_IEFormElementOptionselect($oSelect, "14", 1, "byValue")
; ---  find report date start TextBox 
$oDateStart = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "ctl139_ctl00_ctl07_txtValue")
; ---  set the start Date 
_IEFormElementSetValue($oDateStart, "2009-01-01")
; ---  find the report end date
$oDateEnd = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "ctl139_ctl00_ctl09_txtValue")
; ---  set the date 
_IEFormElementSetValue($oDateEnd, "2009-02-02")
; ---  Click the 'run report button'  -- Button to run Report ctl139_ctl00_ctl00
$oBtnrunReport = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "ctl139_ctl00_ctl00")
_IEAction($oBtnrunReport, "click")
; ---  wait for report to be rendered 
_IELoadWait($oIE)
; ---  at this stage, report has rendered,  grab the html of the page
$sHTML = _IEBodyReadHTML ($oIE)
; ---  search for Employee Number / dump html to console - result = no report data is visible in the html source
ConsoleWrite($sHTML & @CRLF)
; 
_IEQuit ($oIE)

thanks in advance

does the page display with javascript disabled? Some websites have a non-javascript version. If it does try disabling javascript with:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3\", "1400", "REG_DWORD" , 3)

and re-enabling it with:

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3\", "1400", "REG_DWORD" , 0)

after your script is done
