Actuate .rod reports integration using BIRT Reporting API

system_migrated

Hi there,

I'm fairly new to BIRT/Actuate, so please ignore my lack of understanding of some basic tenets here.

I have been tasked to build a POC for integrating various reporting App into one EAR by using something similar to the BIRT reporting engine API for these reporting sources such as (mstr, actuate etc)

I wanted to understand how I can acheive this goal for Actuate using the BIRT reporting engine API. I have several .rod files(binary report design files) which I want to integrate into my web application using the BIRT report engine API. Is it possible ? If so how? I tried using the same API code on the .rod file & it failed. I believe because the API was expecting an XML file(rptdesign) file & I provided it with the binary design file (rod). Is there any way of converting that back to rptdesign file.

If not whats the best option to integrate existing Actuate reports into my web application.

THanks,
Ronak.
