Custom BIRT reports
I am in the progress of making some custom BIRT reports. At the moment I have two questions:
1. Is there some more documentation on the scalars in the (repository) snapshot? I am currently looking to create custom reports related to licenseAssignments... 2. How do I filter the different scalars? If I am just interested in the LicenseType, how do I select only that value, instead of the other scalars that are present... Thanks! |

1. Most of the scalars are implementation specific and are used for debugging purposes. The foundation team defines most of those. I doubt you will be able to find any documentation about the scalars.
2. I am not sure how familiar you are with the RTC reporting component and BIRT. In BIRT, when you create the data set that points to the SCALAR table, you will need to hard code the data set parameters GROUP, NAME and FACET to the values you need. If the above is still not very clear, please say so and I will explain further. You can also look at the report design named "Service Call Counters.rptdesign". That report uses the RANGE table which is similar to the SCALAR table. Rafik Jaouani Developer, RTC Reports Team |

Hi Rafik,
I have been going through the licenseUsage.rptdesign and I am getting a better understanding of the BIRT reports. The one thing that I could not find was the hard coded parameter values you are talking about. I would suspect this would be configured in the paramters section, but I am unable any relevant information there. Any ideas? Jan |
