Running BIRT report in IIS(Flex3)

kshah82

Hi,

I created 'abc.rptdesign' report using Report Designer. I then copied file to my IIS server and tried to call this from my Flex App but I get a 'page not found error'. I have ensured that the location of file is correct. Does the report need to be compiled or do I have to do anything different to call from IIS? I am a newbie to BIRT.

Thanks
KS

Hi KS,<br />
<br />
Creating the .rptdesign is only half the battle. You still need a viewer of some sort that can open the file. You can use the standard, sample viewer that comes with the birt runtime environment, build your own version of the viewer to have more features, or you can install a commercial viewer like the Actuate Interactive Viewer.<br />
<br />
Here are the instructions for downloading and deploying the standard BIRT viewer in Apache Tomcat:<br />

Hope this helps.
