Eclipse BIRT or Actuate BIRT for Maximo 7?

Hello All,

I'm hoping someone can tell me which version of BIRT is needed for IBM's Maximo 7.

I'm thinking it's the Eclipse BIRT Designer, but looking at the specs in this forum, the Actuate BIRT also may make sense?

Thanks in advance,

The choice is how many sources do you want to use for report writing. If you want to use the eclipse.org version
you have to acquire the full update site from eclipse.org and overlay that with this update site content. The installable example is based on V1.0.1 of the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) project from the Eclipse.org site, and you should review the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement before proceeding.

The easier is to download Eclipse BIRT v2.1.1 All In One package and then follow the instruction that came with Maximo.

Hi,

In Maximo 7 ,Actuate server is in built and actuate Birt 2.1.1 is already configured ,so it is not required to install actuate birt.

But if you want add or configure third party reporting tool like eclipse birt new version,cognos or BO ,there is option in administration module intergrating external tool,you can configure others also...

Hey,

As far as IBM is concerned, you need to use the BIRT for Eclipse... It is up to V 2.1.2 from IBM. You can download from the TIVOLI Support website... Go to Maximo Enterprise Asset Management --> Search on BIRT... It should be the first or second option to the page to get BIRT but you must also become a member of their tech forum to get it.... They do not use any other version if you wish to find it...

In searching for a cross reference that would match up the versions, I did find the following (https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg21390374):

Question
What are the new features and upgrade considerations of BIRT 2.3.2 introduced in Base Services 7.1.1.5.

Answer
In the Base Services 7.1.1.5 Release, the embedded reporting tool, BIRT, has been upgraded to Version 2.3.2 which is based on Eclipse 3.4.2. In prior versions of V7, BIRT 2.1.2 was used.
Upgrading to BIRT 2.3.2 enables multiple feature enhancements in both the BIRT Designer and BIRT Engine. This document will detail those new features, and also discuss the upgrade considerations of any custom report designs you may have created in BIRT 2.1.2.

Rev 1: Sept 09: Added Note on page 8: You can retain both versions of Eclipse and the BIRT Designer on your client machine.

If anyone finds the cross reference, please feel free to post it here. Many thank you's.
