I've never used Pentaho Reports module, but it sure looks similar. Basically, you deploy a BIRT server on a Java web server (I use jetty), make available all the *.rptdesign files to the server and configure OpenERP such that call to generate *.birt report is redirected to the BIRT server. I could write a short post if you like to see how it works.
I like Aeroo too, but running OO in headless mode on my VPS is seem to crash a little too often to be usable. I may have badly configured it, but I enjoy the drag & drop, WYSIWYG type of reporting tools. -- PH On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 2:47 PM, Alan Lord <[email protected]> wrote: > On 22/10/13 06:56, Phui Hock wrote: > >> Hi, >> I am wondering if there is any interest in Eclipse BIRT-based reports >> for OpenERP.
