The issue being discussed in this article is:

You get this error when importing reports via the Import Reports feature in the Report Explorer:

Import file does not contain the DTools Report Definition File "ReportData.xml".

The following is the screenshot of the error:

File:SIX_Guide/008_Reports/Troubleshooting-Reports/import_reports_error/import_reports_error.jpg

The following is the cause:

The report you are trying to import is either an Excel report or an Order report and not a standard D-Tools report archive with a .dtr or .zip extension.

The following is the resolution:

  • If you want to export reports via the Import File feature in the Report Explorer, select "standard" SI/2016/2015/SIX Report archives (.dtr) or SI5.5 Report archives (.zip).

  • If you want to import Excel or Order reports, follow the instructions in Excel Reports and Import/Export Reports.

If you cannot resolve this issue, please open a Support Ticket.
