Creating and modifying web reports by using BIRT editor

BIRT is an open source, Eclipse-based reporting system that can be used to create reports in AR System.

You can use the AR System Report Console to modify the Web reports generated from the AR System Report Console, but do not use BIRT Designer to modify them.

Using Web reports and the BIRT Report Designer, you can:

  • Create reports based on AR System  data in the BIRT Report Designer.
  • Modify out-of-the-box Web reports in the BIRT Report Designer.

Then, you can use the Report form to deploy those reports to the AR System server using the Report form.

Important

This section is intended for administrators with expertise using AR System Web reports and the BIRT Report Designer. This section is intended to document only what is specific or different to modify reports for AR System.

The procedures in this branch describe how to install and use the BIRT designer. BMC uses this system; however, BMC does not support issues related to creating new reports with BIRT or after modifying reports shipped with AR System. For non-BMC-related questions about BIRT, go to http://www.eclipse.org/birt or visit the Eclipse Community Forum for BIRT at http://www.eclipse.org/forums.
