Error importing a new BIRT report into Maximo 7.1.1.9

From: kituram9 (2012-01-04 14:52)

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 &lt;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 Ramani,
This error means the XML version you are trying to import is more latest than the one which is supported by maximo 7.1.1.9, Please use BIRT 2.3.2 to design and compile reports for Maximo 7.1.1.9 to run and import reports on Maximo.
As if now BIRT 2.5 is not supported by Maximo 7.1.1.9.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & regards,
Victor.

Victor,
Thanks a lot for the quick response. I have requested the development team to confirm that they are indeed using BIRT 2.5 and, if yes, to redesign the report with BIRT 2.3.2. While awaiting their response, I thought I could try faking Maximo by editing the header section of the design file to reflect V2.3.2! Would you mind pasting the header section of one of your files made on BIRT 2.3.2 so I could try, assuming there are no syntax changes in the rest of the file?
I will keep the group posted of my progress...
