Exporting flat files from BIRT

From: e11271b (2012-06-27 14:30)

Ok.. This may not be best practice, but I have a scenario where I need to create an export file containing data produced in a report. This export file (fixed width or comma separate or possibly xml not sure) will be sent to an external system for processing. Is this possible in BIRT.
Any help would be appreciated, as I am very new to BIRT and need all the help I can get:)
Thanks.

we are doing the same for the same need....
You need to know how to design a birt report.... and then any birt report
can be exported to xls

Thank You for your reply Mohamed. Sorry if this get posted twice. I tried replying before, but I don't think it was sent..
Anyway, The report has been created, and I don't need to export to excel via user input. I need the report to create a datafile(possibly a fixed width file) using data generated by the report, that can be ftp'd to an external compensation system for processing.
Since the report is creating the required data that I need, I was hoping to be able to have the report create the datafile rather than creating another process that would basically recreate the data that the report is already generating.
The report itself if fairly complex, and I really don't want to try and recreate all the business logic in two places.
Thanks for your help.

I am currently working on exactly the same thing. The data needs to be in a fixed file format as we are feeding labor and material transactions to a legacy system.
I am converting from and Actuate report. Using a little JAVA for the file=writing and javascript for formatting.
search for FileWriter
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/FileWriter.html
Good Luck!

The report has been created.
I'm not looking to create an excel spreadsheet via user input. When the report runs I need to create a file (possibly a fixed width file) using specific data that the report generates so that it can be ftp'd to an external system.
Not even sure this can be done. Since the report generates the data I need, I was hoping to just let the report create the datafile.

I will point you to Pam Denny's great wiki about everything maximo reporting:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/maximo/Reports
You would probably want to look at the section Reports: Developing.

Wes
Are you running BIRT report in Maximo and getting the output file directly
in a fixed file format ?

Well hope to try that tonight, I write the file independently, executed from Maximo and written directly to a directory.

This sounds very interesting!
Wes, can you share your implementation. I would like to see how you incorporated the FileWriter in your report.
Thanks!

Side note.. The report that I am trying to extract data from has one main table, but many groups and datasets.
Is it possible to capture the reports displayed values, and export that data using the FileWriter?

I would think so, I have one data set, but I am guessing it shouldn't be a problem.
I am writing the detail in the fetch using for example row["wonum"] which I pad with spaces and it becomes wonum + another padded column etc. I have  javascript function I call to pad correct number spaces.
I write the header in the beforeFactory , detail in the fetch.

I am writing the detail in the fetch using for example row["wonum"] which I pad with spaces and it becomes wonum + another padded column etc. I have  javascript function I call to pad correct number spaces.
I write the header in the beforeFactory , detail in the fetch.

I could not find a single example to export to excel using Birt(using code) on the Web. Can you please kindly post a link to such an example.

I would think so, I have one data set, but I am guessing it shouldn't be a problem.
I am writing the detail in the fetch using for example row["wonum"] which I pad with spaces and it becomes wonum + another padded column etc. I have  javascript function I call to pad correct number spaces.
I write the header in the beforeFactory , detail in the fetch.
Lots of examples on the WEB.

Side note.. The report that I am trying to extract data from has one main table, but many groups and datasets.
Is it possible to capture the reports displayed values, and export that data using the FileWriter?

I'm trying to get the CVSEmitter option to work, but I get the following error when running the export.
SEVERE: Error.OutputFormatNotSupported
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.UnsupportedFormatException: The output format csv is not supported.
I may have misunderstood the instructions. Has anyone gotten around this issue?
