Setting the flat files folder by program
juabus
In the Designer I specify a data source folder as a fixed constant by the window:
"Select the folder that contains the flat files"
How can I modify at runtime the folder location of this data source by a Java program? To deploy my Java application, calling BIRT, I have to adapt this location.

You can assign a parameter and then change the flat file location using scripting... or the property binding of the data source.<br />

There are a couple examples at<br />
