BIRT report project - not able to open report in BIRT design

0
Daron Whitehouse (11●2●1) | asked May 27 '11, 2:26 p.m.
Recently upgraded to RTC v3.0 with eclipse 3.6.2. Having succesfully migrated repository database to v3.0, when loading a BIRT report project into workspace, the reports will not open in the BIRT designer. Instead a message is issued "The opening design file is not a valid design file or the file does not exist." However, if a new BIRT report project is created and not added as a RTC component and a report is copied from the RTC controlled project in the new project space, the report will open as expected in the designer. Going one step further, once the new project is added to RTC the same report which was fine will receive the same message.

Has anyone else experienced the same?

Thanks,

Daron

Here are two RTC defetcs tracking the issues:

93136: BIRT 2.5 cannot open report designs shared under jazz scm in Eclipse 3.5

122508: "The opening design file is not a valid design file or the file does not exist" dialog box opened after sharing some BIRT 2.5.1 reports with RTC

And here is the BIRT bugzilla:

This is a bug in the BIRT. If you are interested in the bugzilla, I can find it. A work around is to edit the design in a project that is not under source control. Then copy and paste to the proper place.

The SCM team can probably explain the problem better.

We have been using the workaround as you suggested.

I've opened a PMR with IBM Support on the issue and will update this post with any results.

If its not too much trouble, I would be interested follwoing the bug.

Thank you,

Daron

Hi,  Just hit this too using Rational Team Concert v3.0.1.3.   Looks like it is fixed in Eclipse 3.7.2.  Hopefully RTC v4 client has picked this up?  Thanks.

 Still not working in Eclipse Indigo SR2 and RTC 4.0.2 client. This is getting annoying ..
With a workaround still able to work, but mistakes are easily made this way.. 
The BIRT bugzilla site states that it is fixed on their side. Anyone any information on the RTC side of this problem?
Thanks.

I am using RTC 4.0.3 and the issue still exists.
To solve this I have to upgrade Birt version?

Thanks.
