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.

Hi juabus, 
 
You can assign a parameter and then change the flat file location using scripting... or the property binding of the data source. 
 
There are a couple examples at
