Check the XML for an existing report in Maximo for the correct verison
numbers and change the new report verison numbers to match, then it will
import and should run fine:
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.21"

Subject: [MAXIMO List] Error importing a new BIRT report into Maximo
7.1.1.9
From: "kituram9" <ramanin@dtec.com>
Date: Wed, January 04, 2012 8:52 am
To: MAXIMO@yahoogroups.com
The report was created by someone else. When I opened the .rptdesign
file in a text editor, I can see the version info on the top as below:
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.21"
id="1">
<property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.5.2.v20100208
Build <2.5.2.v20100210-0630></property>
I created a new record under Report Administration matching the full
name of the report file (InvtTransDtlXfr.rptdesign). I also added 3
parameters as I found in the design file.
However, when I go to import the file, I get the error:
"BMXAA5457E - The report import process failed. Verify the specified
information is correct before proceeding again."
I can't figure out what is wrong.
1) I tried importing using the updatereports.cmd tool, but when it came
to this particular report, I get the same error as mentioned before
followed by a bunch of java errors (not very informative in my opinion -
can post if someone wants to see it). I made sure I updated the
reporttools.properties. I have increased the verbosity of logging, but
see nothing useful there.
2) The file \maximo\reports\birt\reports\INVENTOR\reports.xml did not
have the entry for the report I am importing. Am I supposed to
hand-create it or is it supposed to be added by the import process?
3) Also, the reportdesign table had no entries for the report I am
trying to add. I am not sure if the import process is supposed to add
this row.
I was wondering the BIRT report version is incompatible with Maximo
7.1.1.9 we are using. I may have added the 3 parameters incorrectly - I
matched the name and the attribute.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the response. Now, why didn't I think of that! So, I tried this idea using a report that works correctly, but I am still getting the same error. I feel there is something wrong with this report, just not sure what it is. I have requested the dev team to look into it. In the meantime, I am open to any suggestions...

Hi,
Way back in the beep dark regions of my mind I seem to remember having an issue sort of like this with just a few reports when I moved to the newer version of BIRT.
Seems I had used a parameter or report field calculation on a data type and the new version of BIRT did not support the calculation.
I found the error in the report designer. It actually has a window that notifies you of any errors in the report.
So changing the XML file will work most of the time but any report using a calculation where BIRT has changed will not work.
As I inferred at the beginning this is pretty much a shot in the dark.

Hi Ramani,
Please compile the report using BIRT 2.3.2 and also remove any default value calculation that might be present for the report parameters as BIRT 2.5 allows you to code for the default value of the report parameters in the default value expression builder.
Hope this helps, there is nothing wrong with your report, as I said earlier, its just the version mismatch.
Thanks & regards,
Victor.
