How to disable or enable the chart visibility in BIRT
The easiest way is to set the visibility property of the chart (or of a grid containing this chart) with an expression using a parameter. This example hides the grid of a crosstab if the value of "View" report parameter equals to "charts". However this is not the most efficient...
how to embed chart with API into another webpage
If you want to view content from the BIRT report in a browser you can do any of the following: Deploy the BIRT runtime viewer with Tomcat - http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/12/deploy-birt-viewer-for-tomcat/. Download the free F-Type server and put your BIRT report there, then you can use the "interactive viewer" web interface to...
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...

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...
BIRT adjust grid row height according to chart height
You should just leave the height property of the row to blank, it will automatically be adjusted to the size of the content, in your case the height of the chart + your margins/paddings. You should also pay attention if the grid itself has a height defined. As soon as...
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...
Birt 4.4.1 : Export to pdf does not display an image
ckeditor,pdf-generation,birt,rich-text-editor
Based on the response of "JFreeman" I think what I want is not currently possible because the image I want to display is encapsulated within the HTML tags, The reason the image does not display in PDF is due to being in an HTML text element using HTML to convert...
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.
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...
upgrading of Birt to 4.3.2 --->org.eclipse.birt.report.exception.ViewerException: Fatal error occurred when try to startup report engine

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...
Drawing Line Chart in BIRT
Well, All I had to do was Group the Y-Plot data with "Optional Y-Axis grouping" feature. ;)
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,...

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...
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.
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 integration in JHipster application

Updating Data Set query after parameter input in BIRT
Assuming that you are on an Oracle DB (other systems may behave differently) you should be aware that a bind variable (in JDBC speech: the question mark) can replace a scalar value only, e.g. a string or a number. But you want something like a list of numbers as input....

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 csv emitter plugin error: Required parameter Initiator is not set
It is not a parameter of the emitter. This exception means a report parameter named "Initiator" is defined in the report "new_report_1.rptdesign", and its property "required" is checked. For example edit the report design, disable "required" for this parameter and set a default value instead....
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...
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...

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.
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...

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...
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...
BIRT page layout and control through javascript

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...
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.

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...
BIRT - using multiple webservices to get the data

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...
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...
Convert Check box boolean value to string in BIRT 4.1?
Set a default value expression instead of linking this query parameter to a report parameter, as shown below. For example if we want to set "0" when false and "1" when true use an expression like params["myBooleanCheckbox"].value==null || !params["myBooleanCheckbox"].value?"0":"1"; ...
