Hi,
I have a problem in designing a BIRT report, the data source is an XML file. In the xml file I have two fields that are lists. The first I works fine, but the second one shows me only the first entry.
Attached is an example of the xml file and rptdesign. The problem I'm having with "recordFail"
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I'm getting a NullPointerException on a chart whenever I add anything to the mouseover tooltip text to the Value Series. It works fine on other reports, but for some reason this particular report doesn't like it.
This is BIRT 3.7.2, and I verified the only change to the report XML was the single line change from

...
  <Text></Text>
...

to
line change from

...
  <Text>"Example";</Text>
...

I'm running the latest version of BIRT (3.7.1). I've been trying to set up a multi-column report, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I've set the columns property on my master page to 2, but when viewing the report, I only see only column. I see that this version of BIRT is supposed to support columns. What do I need to do?

Hi,

I have a simple table with a single group. I would like to insert a page break at group level if the natural page break comes inside the group.

However I cannot seem to accomplish this.

I have tried several options, including what I consider the correct approach, namely "avoid" inside on group level and auto on before and after. That does not seem to work.

BIRT does insert a page break before and/or after if I force it at group level, but that is not what I want. If I set the repeat header, it does so correctly at group level.

A detail level it moves my entire table to a new page, if I set avoid before, which is not what I want either.

I am using the PDF output (have not tried other outputs as my client requests PDF).

Am I doing something wrong here or is there a bug and/or misunderstanding on my part as to what I can expect BIRT to support?

here's my question.

all you know the birt webviewer and it has toolbar, there is a button to print as html and pdf format.

first,

if print as html for landscape layout, I should change or set the print options manually, I think ...(it's the only way to print, I know) - Do you know how to set printer options as landscape when print as html in landscape layout ?


second ,

the problem in the first question, it's nothing matter in pdf format....
So my client wants to change the action of print button, as when user click the button, do not show the report print dialog layout, just only action ... print as pdf..

Hi

We have a application running on JBOSS7.1.1Final integrated with BIRT3.7.2. We have a JMS listener that has 8 maxConcurrentConsumers.

Our BIRT reports executed within a JBOSS applilcation via JMS listerners, springframe work listeners.
We are experience some race-conditions within BIRT (we believe).

We were wondering what is the Best-Practise for creating a Platform/ReportEngine instance in many reporting JMS-threads? Should we create a unique Platfrom/ReportEngine instance for each Thread? Should we have all threads share the same Platform instance?

The result of IReportEngineFactory is a thread safe?

I appreciate for your help

Thanks
Hari

Hi,

i want to create a cascading parameter where i only choose the first parameter(query parameter) and all the others where automatically set out of this selection.

the table where the entries where stored looks like:

version, name, start_date, end_date

and i only want to choose the version parameter and all other parameters eg. for start_date where also set out of this selection.

-> is this possible via a cascading parameter? or how could it work?

thanks in advance...

Hello,

I am using a report designer which has one bar chart and a table.

I am using servlet "Run" to display the report.

When i run the report the values are shown properly in html format,(the table has more than 4000 records).

Here i have created a action in the viewer which exports the report data to pdf.

Following are the options:

PDFRenderOption options=PDFRenderOption();
options.setOption( PDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW, Integer.valueOf( PDFRenderOption.OUTPUT_TO_MULTIPLE_PAGES ) );
options.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_HYPHENATION, true);
options.setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PDF_TEXT_WRAPPING, true);
options.setOutputFileName(destinationFile);
options.setSupportedImageFormats("PNG;GIF;JPG;BMP");
options.setOption(IRenderOption.HTML_PAGINATION, Boolean.TRUE);
options.setOutputFormat("pdf");

But in the generated pdf file, the data is getting shrinked. All the data was saved in a single page. It has all the records but in very tiny format.

What extra parameters do i need to set to generate pdf report properly?

Thanks,
Sridhar

Hi,

I have a line graph with several series, using :
- row["values"] as Value (Y) Series
- row["time"] as Category (X) Series
- row["line"] as Optional Y series Grouping.

My problem is that many of those series have all zero values and I would like not to display those series.

How can I filter them out ?

HI friends,


I have query regarding carry forward and brought forward,. as i have designed the report using crosstab its commission report for sales in year,.. the report is working fine with all totals.
problem is actually i need pagewise total in last row of a page and that total should bring back to next page called as brought forward

Ex: now the report has 3 pages output, and grand total will be displayed at last page.
so now i have 3 pages, page 1 should show total of that page and that bring it to next page on top below header called brought forward and page 2 also come same total of page and including brought total too carried to next page, page 3 also should get the values of brought forward and included in grand total.

and im using reporting tool is " birt-report-designer-2_5_1 "

i'll attach screenshots.


Kindly help me out on this situation.

Hello

i get from my datasource two colums "space" and "name" (both type String).

Now i want in the report one data field like:
BirtStr.concat(dataSetRow["space"],dataSetRow["name"])

Is it possible to make dataSetRow["space"] in another font color?

E.g. dataSetRow["space"] should be white and dataSetRow["name"] should be black?

Or is there another option to make two different font colors?


Thanks and Regards

What is the best approach to create a report containing a series of tables not known at design time?
I have an xml data source describing a set of Tests, each beloning to a system. There are 10 system available, but the xml data source might non contain tests from all systems.

I need to build a summary table for all tests, then one summary table for each system with at least one test in the data source.

e.g.

System Code - System Desc
01 VEHICLE
02 ENGINE
03 FUEL SYSTEM
...
10 CAB

Basically, all report tables are identical except for parameter driven by <SystemCode> tag..
It would be very helpful to create a "template" table and then repeat this table for each System Code found in the xml source.
Also, note that numbers shown in each table cell are calculated based on filters on SystemCode and other xml tags (e.g. Phase and TestResult).
The attached image shows an example of a report and the xml datasource.

Thanks in advance for any idea..

I'm completely new to BIRT so bear with my potential ignorance here. In the "Integrating and Extending BIRT" guide book, I read the section regarding how a developer can write event handlers with Javascript. However, I couldn't find any documentation or reference as to what classes and what methods are available.

I know that in the Javascript editor in Designer, as soon as I type "reportContext.", it'll display the methods available. But what I'm looking for is the description of those methods, what they do, and what each parameter means.

Could someone knowledgeable points me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
