"c:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\samples\output.pdf" -f pdf 
"C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\samples\hello_world.rptdesign" 
 
when i am trying to run the commands from command window : 
C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine>genReport.bat -m runrender-o 
 
following error is coming:

Hi chaiatnya,

Are you sure that the BIRT runtime is in your classpath?

Hi williams, 
Thanks for ur reply. 
Actually I downloaded again the birt-runtime engine_2_6_1 freshly. 
Now I created the batch file as follows: 
 
Set BIRT_HOME=C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ 
C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\genReport.bat -m runrender-o 
"c:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\samples\output.pdf" -f pdf 
"C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\samples\hello_world.rptdesign" 
 
 
When I am trying to run this batch file it is showing as follows and I am geeting one folder named workspace in the folder where runreport batch file is located. 
 
 
 
C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine>Set BIRT_HOME=C:\birt-runtime\bi

Hi Chaitanya,

You are not specifying the *.rptdesign file name. BIRT is looking for it & throws an error.

Example:-

C:\birt-runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_1\ReportEngine\genReport.bat -f PDF samples\hello_world.rptdesign

this should run.

Basically problem is in paths and how you can make BIRT read your design file. Try deifferent combinations of path.

Good Luck.

Jitu

Hi Chaitanya,

put your JDBC Driver in the following folder:-

<install path>/ReportEngine/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.5.1.v20090821/drivers/

this should solve the error !
