Report Design perspective is not showing in RTC client after installing BIRT
I have installed BIRT. But i am unable to see Report Desgin in RTC. BIRT is installed properly because when I am trying to install again, it says already installed.
However, when I saw the .log file inside metadata folder, it shows the following error:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 2 2 2014-03-26 11:39:11.411
!MESSAGE Invalid preference category path: org.eclipse.birt.chart.reportitem.ui.ChartPreferencePage (bundle: org.eclipse.birt.chart.ui.extension, page: org.eclipse.birt.chart.ui.swt.fieldassist.preferences.FieldAssistPreferencePage)

Kindly help on how to proceed.

I had the same problem (can´t see the Report Perspective). I try a lot of different things. I had resolved my problem by executing the RTC Client as an Administrator (right Click & Run as Administrator).

Will try it out.
No I use Helios because of this IBM statement:

Hello,
just one thing : I'm not sure the Juno version of BIRT is compatible with the RTC server, you might not be able to upload your reports, or run them. I think RTC need BIRT 2.6.2, at least for RTC 4.0.x.
The steps described in "Installing BIRT tools" in the RTC 4.0.6 online help seem to work (though there is some confusion about the versions of dependencies to use).

Two clarification questions.
1. I see that you have installed BIRT 2.5.2. What is the reason you are using so old version? Do you have server in version 3.0.1.x?
2. Please provide the steps you have exactly used to install BIRT and RTC (How did you install it, what was the base product etc.)

Following are the steps which I used for BIRT installation in RTC.
1. Open the RTC client and click on Help -> Install New Software…
2. Click on Available Software site.
3. Check if http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo is added or not. If not, then add it in the Add section, otherwise just click the checkbox for this site and click on OK.
4. Select the site in the Work With drop down and click on Business Intelligence Reporting and Charting. Then click on Next.
5. Click on Next, till Finish. BIRT will be installed. Restart of RTC client will be asked. Restart it.
I have RTC 4.0.4 version.
I was not asked to choose BIRT version. It was automatically taken.

I now installed BIRT from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios to get recent version, but still I am not able to see report design perspective.
I also checked the plugins folder and there are birt plugins present in it.
Please advise how to proceed.
