Driver Report for iServer Express

jmangan

I'm hoping to find a driver report example that will run a report report run once for each possible parameter in my report.

I have a report that will give me back a simple table listing the orders for each customer in Classic Models. I would like to get back a single report document for each customer rather than a grouped table with all customers.

I've added in a parameter so I can get back just a single customer's orders, but now need a way to run the report once for each without manually running or scheduling each customer's report.

Does anyone have an example report that will go through a data set and kick off another report for each row - passing that row's value as a parameter to another report on the iServer (Express)?

Hi John,<br />
<br />
There is an example located at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/devshare/deploying-birt-reports/381-leveraging-iserver-express-web-services-and-e-spreadsheet-to-execute-birt-and-e-spreadsheet-reports/#description'>Leveraging iServer Express web services and e.Spreadsheet to execute BIRT and e.Spreadsheet reports - Designs & Code - BIRT Exchange</a> that shows how to use the iServer Express web services API to schedule multiple reports. This particular example uses an e.Spreadsheet report as the driver report, but then schedules a bunch of BIRT reports so it should give you a good jump start. If you modify this to use a BIRT report as the driver report, please post it back to DevShare.
