Importing Datasets from a Library

stuart

Hi,

When I import my datasource and dataset references from a library I get the following report xml:

<data-sources>
<script-data-source name="IVR Log Scripted Data Source" id="7" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.IVR Log Scripted Data Source"/>
</data-sources>

<data-sets>
<script-data-set name="FullyQualifiedMenuPromptWithOrderDataSet" id="8" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.FullyQualifiedMenuPromptWithOrderDataSet"/>
<script-data-set name="IVR Voice Menu Script Data Set" id="9" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.IVR Voice Menu Script Data Set"/>
<joint-data-set name="Messages Added and Updated right outer join With Prompt Menu Order Data Set" id="10" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.Messages Added and Updated right outer join With Prompt Menu Order Data Set"/>
</data-sets>

When I drag the datasets onto the report body and run the report I don't get any data. However, I then "reattach" the datasets to the datasource in my report (not the library - they are attached in library), by reselecting the already select datasource in the Edit Data Set dialog, I get the following report xml:

<data-sources>
<script-data-source name="IVR Log Scripted Data Source" id="7" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.IVR Log Scripted Data Source"/>
</data-sources>
<data-sets>
<script-data-set name="FullyQualifiedMenuPromptWithOrderDataSet" id="8" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.FullyQualifiedMenuPromptWithOrderDataSet">
<property name="dataSource">IVR Log Scripted Data Source</property>
</script-data-set>
<script-data-set name="IVR Voice Menu Script Data Set" id="9" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.IVR Voice Menu Script Data Set">
<property name="dataSource">IVR Log Scripted Data Source</property>
</script-data-set>
<joint-data-set name="Messages Added and Updated right outer join With Prompt Menu Order Data Set" id="10" extends="IVRCallLogLibrary.Messages Added and Updated right outer join With Prompt Menu Order Data Set"/>
</data-sets>

And the report runs correctly. Why do I need to do this?

I'm using BIRT 2.3.2

Thanks

Hi stuart,<br />

This sounds like a bug to me. You might try searching them to see if something like this has been reported. <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a>. You may also try downloading 2.5.x and see if the issue is still there in the newer versions.
