Urgent !!!!!!Can BIRT initiate an action to send report to external system

italugyaja

Hi guys,

I am facing problem in one of the requirements given to me .The requirement is a bit lengthy kindly read it patiently

The user has to create a report ccalled Workorder Pick report based on two parameters whcih are popped in front of him on the request page.

The first parameter says LOTDetailsNotRequired and a checkbox with it
The Second parameter says Transfer Report to ExternalTrac System with check box attached to it .

Now the logic i have thought to run this report is only on LOTNUM to be displayed or not displayed as per the requirement. because i find that the externalTrac sys has nothing to do with fetching data from database and finally displaying it in reort design .

The major hurdle i face is regarding the second check box on the prompt pop up that the user sees i.e. of transfer of report to ExternalTrac from MAXIMO 7.1[ If this box is checked the report will be sent to ExternalTrac in addition to the report being generated in Maximo]

My questions are
CAN BIRT INITIATE SOME ACTION TO SEND TO EXTERNAL SYSTEM.
IS MY LOGIC OF ONLY CONSIDERING THE lOTNUM only for GENERATION correct ?

please share your important viewpoiints on this [ its urgent kindly help ]

Not out of the box. But its easy to extend the existing HTML emitter to do that. You would just need to override the end() event.
