JavaScript Birt Try catch works but still errors
Logging an exception and throwing an exception are two distinct things, it is quite common for a library component (xerces in this case) to log a message describing the error encountered and then throw an exception, regardless if the exception is caught or not by calling programs. In your case...
Direct BIRT Report logs to log4j
In our application (not using spring), we do it like this: Content of the file c:\reporting\conf\birt\birt-log4j.properties: log4j.rootCategory=INFO, file # Set to DEBUG to see a lot more messages from BIRT log4j.logger.org.eclipse=INFO, engine log4j.additivity.org.eclipse=false log4j.logger.org.eclipse.birt=INFO, engine log4j.additivity.org.eclipse.birt=false log4j.logger.org.eclipse.birt.data=WARN, engine log4j.additivity.org.eclipse.birt.data log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender...

Using JS conditions in HTML to get a different hyperlink in birt
javascript,html,hyperlink,birt
This javascript fragment does not work because it is mixing client-side and server-side expressions. Did you try to achieve the same just by testing null values in a dynamic URI expression such below: if (row["uuid"]!=null){ "http://example.com/myfolders/myfiles/" + row["uuid"] } When uuid is null, this expression won't return any value and...
BIRT parameters indented
After much digging, I found the offending code in: \webcontent\birt\pages\parameter\ParameterGroupFragment.jsp At least in our implementation, the parameter group is rendered in it's own table, so it doesn't align with ungrouped parameters. I removed the extra table tags and it all displays properly.

Date picker in BIRT 3.7 not working
The Web Viewer uses the FramesetFragment.jsp and the HTML view uses the RequesterFragment.jsp. If you update the RequesterFragment.jsp with the same code as what you added to the FramesetFragment.jsp it should solve your problem. You'll still want to add it to the end of the HEAD tag. I'd suggest also...
BIRT : Data set with dynamic table name
Databases don't allow to dynamize table names with a regular query parameter, so we need to handle this by script. The cleanest way would be to do this with a DB stored procedure: the BIRT dataset query just invokes a stored procedure of your DB with the table name as...

HTMLRenderReport of BIRT adds a `file://`-like url to embedded images (instead of embedding them into the HTML)
I solved this by adding two different images to the masterpage of the report: Setting of the image in the PDF output: Since the PDF is well rendered, I leaved the image as I wrote in the question, and I set off the visibility of this image in the HTML...
BIRT- converting table to grid
A table is a different element from a grid. There is not a button to push that will convert one to the other. You would need to add a grid element to your report and set it up like you want it to look. I seriously doubt you want to...
How to slice a data cube in Birt designer?
There are a couple of ways to do this. In terms of performance, the most efficient one would be to add a parameter to the main dataset of the cube and filter here. If you can't filter in the dataset (for example if other report elements make use of the...
BIRT Report Client or Server Side Filtering?
Yes this visibility property is filtering elements on server-side, so it is secured in your case. As far as i know there is only one BIRT property acting as a sort of client-side filter: this is the "General -> display" property (block | inline | No display). However for performance...
BIRT - using multiple webservices to get the data

TEAMCITY REST API list of last 10 days of all buildTypes
You can try just dropping the build type locator? For example: /app/rest/builds/?sinceDate=20140501T170952%2B1000 Note that there will be other caveats to work around, such as in a build configuration that uses feature branches, TeamCity will by default only return builds from the 'default' branch. Plus it will limit the response to...

Japanese Character in birt report
I finally find one solution to my problem. fontConfig.xml was fine defined but I didn't configure my jre to accept japanese character. Charts are firstly designed by Java chart engine and convert in image to be added to the birt report.

BIRT report Exception when zero results returned from Data Set query
The answer is, this is probably a bug in the BIRT code and can be fixed hopefully by upgrading to a future version. The work around I suggest, is based on my discovery of the root cause of the exception. In 4.2.0, I used an aggregative expression inside of a...

Birt: Insufficient memory to execute a report
Hmm, while writing the comment I remembered that last year I had a similar problem: Even the most simple queries caused memory problems. Note: This answer is only valid if your application is using an Oracle DB. In my case, my application (and the Eclipse BIRT IDE) was using Java...
In BIRT how to change the default time range into week base
You can compute the first day of the current week in default value expressions of report parameters. For example: BirtDateTime.firstDayOfWeek(BirtDateTime.today()) A simple report example using this kind of "BirtDateTime" expressions and default values here EDIT: In order to extract 7-last-days we can set a such expression for default value of...
BIRT expression to surround negative numbers with brackets
There is another smart tip to do this. When we enter a custom number format, we can set two distinct formats for positive and negative values, separated with a semi-colon. A significant advantage of this approach is we don't "loose" the number format: unlike a computed column, it is still...
Javascript in either property binding or Query in Birt [closed]
javascript,mysql,birt,property-binding
Yes, for instance you can do this in this field: var param=params["myParameter"].value; if (param==1){ "select code,label from tableA"; }else{ "select code,label from tableB"; } However this makes reports more difficult to maintain. Most of the time it is a better practice to modify an existing queryText from "beforeOpen" method of...

JARs files that are intended to be used in scripts should be located at: [eclipse root]/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.viewer_/birt/scriptlib Eclipse has to be restarted to take new scriptlib JARs into consideration. Another option would be to put a JAR in the resource path and declare it as a resource of the report: Outline...
BIRT multi select parameter and where statement

Birt dynamic formatting of cells
You need to understand how BIRT works to understand why your code can't work. BIRT has a design phase (where you don't have any values). When the report is rendered, BIRT will parse the design and expand it following certain rules (for example, it will copy template rows of data...
BIRT get list of required parameters in report
I found following decision. We should define a separate task: IGetParameterDefinitionTask taskGetParameters = engine .createGetParameterDefinitionTask(design); After that we can get an Iterator of parameters from this task: Collection params = taskGetParameters.getParameterDefns(true); Iterator iter = params.iterator(); After that we can iterate over the parameters and get their properties. I am gettting...
printing quantity of sales per page not overall quantity of sales
javascript,sql,xml,eclipse,birt
Once your query results are correct, you should compute SUM(sales) based on the page. This can be done either with SQL (Oracle SQL syntax) with x as ( your_query_here ) select x.*, sum(sales) over (partition by page) -- IIRC from x or with BIRT, if you create a GROUP (called...
Add a textbox against a radio button to BIRT report parameters window
I believe it is possible to do as you ask, but it would require creating a custom parameter. This is an easier solution for what I imagine is what you are trying to do. The easier solution use a single text box in your parameter, set the default value to...
the pdf file is created but cannot be opened
This is not a BIRT question, but a PHP question. Probably the "PDF" in the result contains an exception traceback, a HTML error page or something similar. What you should do now is: Fix the PHP import error! While I don't know PHP, I guess the config.inc.php file should be...
Powerpoint Font Family
At this Link you can download manual for Actuate BIRT viewer. Your problem is resolved in details at pages 206-208.

I can't drag fields from joint datasets into a grid or table while using BIRT
I figured out a solution to the problem. Not exactly a solution, more of a workaround. Right clicking on the field in the data set and clicking on "Insert in layout" inserts the field in the report and it can then be dragged to the desired position.
Dark background of tabs in Eclipse
You can use GTK themes. For Gnome 3 Flashback I use clearlooks, but you can use GnomishDark for dark colors. To make Eclipse using it, create script with name like eclisec.sh with following command: GTK2_RC_FILES=$HOME/.themes/<your-theme-gtkrc-file> exec ./eclipse and place your theme to $HOME/.themes/. You can see my eclipse with GnomishDark...
BIRT Pie Chart, Cascading Parameters, & SQL Formatting

You can also append report input parameters in this way ¶metername=value. You could also...
Birt Report Calling multiple times
Assuming the first script is the "open" method of the underlying scripted dataset, it is triggered as many times as this dataset is invoked during report execution. For example: if a table using this dataset is nested in an outer table, "open" method will be invoked for each row of...
BIRT Reports column not spanding the whole row as desired
I've found out that the asnwer to this question is to make the field element inline style rather than block and also to check the No Wrapping check box for this field int he designer.
BIRT Combo Box dynamic default value
parameters,combobox,scripting,birt
As far as i know, default value expressions of parameters are evaluated before datasets, therefore i don't believe we can do this through a BIRT script. Though with a small client-side javascript you could achieve the same. For example using jquery: $(document).ready(function() { $('#YourParameterName_selection option:last-child').attr('selected', 'selected'); }); This script should...

sending multiple selected values comma-separated to a stored procedure
What about testing the content in this default value expression, something like: if (params["RPBla"].value==null){ null; }else{ var list=params["RPBla"].join(","); list.length>0 ? list : null; } Of course you could return anything you need instead of "null" here, for example returning a specific value warning the stored procedure that the filter should...
Using Javascriprt reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable method on Birt handlers To pass objects between proccesses
I was able to reproduce a behavior similar to what you describe. Please try to insert a Dynamic text element at the end of the report and set this expression, it should work: reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("flag"); Most likely your reports are running with a unique "RunAndRender" task, whereas if we want to...

Why Birt report plugin removes param entries
The reason why they are removed is because they Grails related and not related to the report itself. It's removed to keep the log/debug clean and to avoid any confusion downstream in the report itself. Notice the debugging/logging in the source code. It won't hurt anything to put them there,...
How to avoid data being cut when presenting a BIRT report as PDF?

How to add a dynamic marker to a BIRT chart
