Disable Cache in Birt Viewer completely

Hello,

I need the report to completely reload every time it is executed. I don't care about performance at all, I just need the info shown to be exactly what is recorded in the DB at the moment that the report is run.

I searched the boards but couldn't get a step-by-step answer on how to disable the cache feature. If it involves changes in the web.xml file I would appreciatte if the explanation was thorough as I really don't have a clue on how to edit that file.

I'm using

<property name="createdBy">Eclipse BIRT Designer Version 2.2.1.r22a_v20071101 Build <2.2.1.v20071101-1439></property>

Please help me.

Hi alderon666,<br />
<br />
It looks like there were caching issues in earlier versions of BIRT, at least with some report items. You can see in the below bug report that crosstabs had an issue with not refreshing data until 2.3.0. I don't know if it's crosstabs you're having problems with or other elements. Are you able to upgrade to a newer version to try? Or are you tied to version 2.2.1?<br />

I can't really change the version of the BIRT viewer but on the bug report there was a patch for the version I use. After some initial testing the patch seems to have solved the problem for the update of data from Crosstabs.

Thanks for the help.
