Migration of Reports from BIRT 2.2 to BIRT 2.3.1 - JavaScript Functions

birty

Hi,

I took the job to migrate our reports from Birt 2.2 to 2.3.1.
Oh yeah, plenty of work! Unfortunately I recognized that no report (running under 2.2) runs in 2.3 without touching it

My concern is, that in lots of reports I'm using the DateTimeSpan Function.
Having migrated reports to the new birt version I found, that this function doesn't work at all:
"There are errors evaluating script "DateTimeSpan.addDate(new Date(), 0, 0, 14, 0, 0, 0)":
Wrapped org.eclipse.birt.core.exception.BirtException "

Ok, I can alter the whole thingy to "<VALUE-OF format="Short Date">BirtDateTime.addDay(new Date(), 14)</VALUE-OF>" but I wanna be sure, that I now have to alter all these JavaScript Functions.
Maybe one can give me a hint why I'm experiencing these issues.

Thanx and Merry Christmas!

Hi birty,

If you change the line from "DateTimeSpan.addDate(new Date(), 0, 0, 14, 0, 0, 0)" to "DateTimeSpan.addDate(new Date(), 0, 0, 14)" it should work just fine. I'm not sure what the extra 3 0's that you have are for. In 2.2.2 and 2.3.1, the addDate() function only calls for startDate, Years, Months, and Days. I do see that the way you have it passes in 2.2.2 with no exception, but changing the last 3 values had no affect on the output, so I don't see the need for them.

Hope this helps.
