FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER is there a way to move a report template fro one project to another Hi, you should be able to deploy the report template against other Projects using the Eclipse client. |

click on deploy, choose the project I want to deploy to, see a list of report templates, the project template I want to deploy is not in the list what am I missing???? :( help |

I will make a guess here and assume you are talking about the "Deploy missing reports" feature. This feature will only deploy the missing report templates that are not already deployed to the project or any of its child team areas. Only the reports we ship part of RTC are listed. If someone designs their own report template and deploy it to a project area, the other project areas will not see it. You will have to manually deploy the report template to the other project areas.

Still need help
You say If someone designs their own report template and deploy it to a project area, the other project areas will not see it. You will have to manually deploy the report template to the other project areas. How do you do this? flat report file I do not have that Can I export the template to a a flat repot file? |
No you cannot export the report templates to a flat file. You will need the original BIRT report design file. Allowing export of a report design file from a report template sounds like a very good candidate for a new feature. Please file an enhancement.
In RTC, usually, when we design report templates, in addition to deploying them to the server, we also keep the files under source control. So in your enterprise, you should basically agree on a particular SCM stream where everyone would deliver their precious report designs. that way these things can be stored safely and be shared by other teams. |
