Creating BIRT Reporting Templates


T M (8876188143) | asked Oct 20 '08, 7:35 a.m.
Hi,

I'm refering to the instructions from the link below:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsCreatingANewReport

The first step is:
Open the Report Design perspective. Window > Open Perspective > Other. Select Report Design and select OK. (Select the "Show All" checkbox if Report Design does not appear in the list).

>>> I Don't see "Report Design" perspective at all. I have downloded BIRT 2.2.2 framework and have copied the downloaded files into the installation folder - downloaded plugins folder into C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert\plugins installation folder and downloaded features folder into C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert\features installation folder.

Am I missing anyhting here? Please let me know.

Thanks
Theju

Hello Theju,

I am also a new user of the "Reporting" functionality. However, perspective opens for me. Did you install the following plugins also -
1) DTP 1.5.2
2) EMF 2.3.2

Thanks

Hi Theju,

As Vibha wrote in this thread, make sure that you also install the full
DTP and EMF packages, as the BIRT plug-ins have dependencies on them.

Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem.

In order to get the 'Report Design' perspective, you should only need
the birt zip file. Make sure to look at how the folders are structured
when you unzip it (the folders are prepended with /eclipse/), so you
should just unzip it all to a temporary folder and then just copy the
contents of 'plugins' to your \IBM\TeamConcert\plugins folder, and the
same with the features folder

Hi,

After coping all the files and folders of BIRT 2.2.2 (and DTP and EMF) to the features and plugins folder I see "Report Design" perspective. Thanks to all those who responded!

Thanks
