Subject: Re: BIRT Flexible reports questions
Hi Georg,
Which "online documentation" did you use?

I try to use the BIRT Flexible reports as described in the online
documentation.
First I downloaded and installed the BIRT report designer for Windows.
Then I made a new directory „reports“ in the designer's directory. After
that I called BIRT from the main menu and selected Flexible Reports. In
the „manage reports“ screen I click on the generate report button and
enter „test123“ as the name of the new report and „testing“ as a
description. I then click send and get a message that the test123 file has
been generated.
Then, in the edit screen, I click on the „download rptdesign file“ button.
A window opens and asks me if I want to save the „test.rptdesign“ file. So
it did cut off the „123“ at the end. I tested this with different names,
the numbers are always removed from the file name. The file is also saved
on disk without these numbers. Seems like a bug to me.
So I choose a file name without numbers: „testa“ and save the
testa.rptdesign file in my „reports“ directory in the BIRD designer.
However, when I open this file the layout is empty. When I upload the file
again and execute it, I get an empty page.
The testa design file has OFBiz as the data source. As Data Sets there is
“Data Set” with „anotherDate, anotherText, etc.” How can I add the data
set fields for OFBiz so I get the same report as the PDF example on the
BIRT start page (exampleID exampleTypeID exampleName)? I would like to use
the data that is stored in the
„ofbiz\plugins\birt\data\example\ExampleDemoData.xml“ file.
