The simple answer to differentiate between iPortal and iServer Express is: iPortal is a web application for browsing and running reports, and the iServer Express is a report server that allows you to deploy, schedule, manage, secure, and run reports The iPortal is a web application that can be deployed as a .war file into…

I would suggest that you by default pull all the data, but when you pass in a report parameter you programmatically change the query. This is easy to do, and an example is located here: <a class='bbc_url'…

Since BIRT is Java, the best approach is to either build a web-service to around the report engine that will allow you to communicate with it from your Air applicaiton, or make URL calls to an application that has is running the BIRT Engine. A good example of making URL calls would be using the BIRT Web Viewer and calling…

This should work fine. You do specify the wsdl as part of the data source. I would recomend taking a look at this Web Service example.<br /> <br /> <a class='bbc_url'…

Dean, You can set a template comment by in Windows --> Preferences --> Report Design --> Comment Template It will show up in the XML Source like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.15" id="1"> <property name="units">in</property> <property…

Mustafa, web.xml settings are typically modified by an install or build script. Does your application deploy using something like Ant scripts? If so, you should be able to modify the web.xml based upon a properties file to include whatever directories your customers desire. Rob

Hi Mustafa, It sounds like you will need to update the STANDALONE_ACCESS_MANAGER context parameter in the web.xml of the iPortal application to point to the to be com.actuate.iportal.security.DefaultAccessManager instead of com.actuate.iportal.security.workgroup.WorkgroupAccessManager. Also, can you confirm the parameter…

Yes, the iServer exposes its funtionality via web services and an Information Delivery API (IDAPI). Rob

Hi Mario, What version of the BIRT designer are you using? You can restore the connection to the library by clicking the Restore Properties icon on the right side of the properties tag. This will reverse any local changes you have made though. Rob

I have tested the design and it is working for me. Here are the steps I took to test it:<br /> <br /> 1. Downloaded zip file and extracted the 2.2 report design into my Report Project.<br /> <br /> 2. Extracted the csv file into c:temp<br /> <br /> 3. Opened the design in BIRT 2.2<br /> <br /> 4. Modified the Data Set to…

The export data list is actually based off the data binding for the selected element. The two most common occurances of data binding are on tables and charts. What ever you have in the binding of the selected element will show up in the export list. Rob

Do you have Excel, Word, or PowerPoint 2003 or newer installed on the machine you are trying to view the reports? BIRT writes the XML format for these office documents. If you do not have the mime-type associated with these applications, you will see the raw xml. Rob
-
Have you tried to change the values using the BIRT mapping capabilities? This allows you to specify a condition, and when the condition is met you can display a specified value. To create a map, select the data element on the report, and in the Property Editor, select the Map tab. Rob

What happens if you directly hit the url <a class='bbc_url' href='http://localhost:8080/Birt-viewer/frameset?__report=report/sugar_report_etape1.2.rptdesign'>http://localhost:8080/Birt-viewer/frameset?__report=report/sugar_report_etape1.2.rptdesign</a> ?<br /> <br /> Does the report generate? <br /> <br /> Are you seeing…

Laurent,<br /> The default setting for the the number of records to use in the preview window is 500. This setting can be changed in Windows -> Preferences... select Report Design -> Preview. Maximum number of rows to display is set by default to 500. This allows you to make incremental design changes without having to…

Instead of writing script to show and hide levels in a crosstab, utilize the filtering capabilities at the crosstab level. You can filter by level, and then by measures, dimensions, etc at within the level. The UI to this is enhanced in BIRT 2.2.1. Rob
-
How many groups and measures to you have in your crosstab? When you say 24 lakhs, is that equal to 2.4 million (2,400,000)? Have you tried this with BIRT 2.2.1? Rob
-
If I understand you correctly, yes you should be able to do this. You can change the query based upon a parameter. Check out an example at <a class='bbc_url'…
-
PuckPuck,<br /> You have a couple different options that I can think of. <br /> <br /> Using the BIRT Viewer set the logging level to a lower level than Warning. If you are previewing this using the web viewer inside the designer, you can set this in plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_<version>/birt/WEB-INF/web.xml and…
-
Laurent,<br /> The problem looks to be with the assignment of queryString. Check out the code here for defining or changing a query using script.<br /> <br /> <a class='bbc_url'…
-
In the situation I described above, if you make country optional, you will need to ensure that they way you have constructed your query will return all the rows. To make a query optional, make sure the "Is Required" check box in they query editor is not check. The following link gives an example of controlling or changing…

There are a number of places this could be. The most common approach used is to define the connection information directly in the .rptdesign file. I would start by opening the report design in the BIRT designer and checking the data source of the report to see if it is defined there. If the connection is being defined in a…

Laurent,One approach to changing the title within a report could be to use the Master Page to display the title you want on every page except the first. Then have a Grid with a label in the top row that shows the title you want on the first page. The message.properties file you reference is a configuration file for the…
-
Are you getting any type of error message or stack trace in the server logs? Is this occuring on .rptdesign files that were created in 2.1 as well as designs created in 2.2?
-
You can create a cascading parameter set that has a single parameter driving a child and grandchild parameter. This should accomplish what you are looking for. For example, if you wanted to get a list of orders for customers in a particular country by either sale rep id or by the customer's city you could create a top…

Hi Fred, The key to this is to actually use another detail row and control the visibility of the items in that row. I have written this up and posted it in the DevShare. Here is a link to it: <a class='bbc_url'…

Hi Laurent,Let me know if I an not understanding correctly. You want to pass a parameter into the report in the reportContext, and use that value to pass into your stored procedure to affect the results you get back. Correct?It appears you have successfully done this using a SQL Select statement. I have been successful…
