Matlab Report Generator append function error ?

I have a code which generates a Word report (using Matlab report generator toolbox). This code works perfectly when I launch it on Matlab. However, when I compile it (using Matlab compiler toolbox) in EXE file, and I launch this EXE file, there is an error at line 5 (append function). For the license, I have a valid license. I think that the problem concerns the compilation. Anyone has the same problem or knows how to fix it ?

My code:

function test

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

d=Document('c:\abc.docx','docx');

t=Paragraph('test');

append(d,t);

close(d);

end

Error message:

"Unable to check out a Report Generator license. Reason: ''. Error in => test.m at line 5"

You need to include the following in the test file before compiling it:

    % If compiling, make the DOM compilable
    if ismcc || isdeployed
        % Make sure DOM is compilable
        makeDOMCompilable()
    end

Thanks for your answer

But I'm using Matlab 2014a and it don't regconize makeDOMCompilable :(

[Sean de Wolski]

I'm confused, the DOM api was formally introduced in R2014b.

http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2015b/rptgen/release-notes.html

If you're using it in 14a, it must be an undocumented version which would explain the lack of compiler support. Can you upgrade?

[check Koutam]

I cannot update my Matlab (have to pay to have the more recent version) I think that the error may be concern the DOM rather than the compilation. So, I'm looking to download the makeDOMCompilable function, but I don't find it. Do you have this ?

[Sean de Wolski]

No, it was released in R2014b. You will need to renew maintenance and upgrade in order to compile the DOM.

I found the answer for my question, I must put makeDOMCompilable; in my code, before import mlreportgen.dom.*;

Where does it put the executable? It isn't working for me. Script runs, however, the exe is not created.

[Sean de Wolski]

Brandon, you should probably open a new question. Are yo using the compiler app to build it?

applicationCompiler

Under settings you can tell it where to put the exe.
