Birt Viewer for Report Engine API

Hi,

we are using Birt Viewer to view report on tomcat 6.0 server.
as a
http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?__report=report1.rptdesign&showParameterPage=false

my problem is that the at runtime, using Report Engine API I changed database connection string, paramaters etc. so how to display such report on viewer ?

As IRunAndRenderTask (task) has new setting/config do not know how to pass it to viewer ?

thanks for your help

The RE API does not have a direct link to the Viewer. The Viewer uses the RE API to generate reports. You could use a run task instead of a runandrender task to generate a rptdocument and then use this rptdocument in the viewer like:

http://localhost:8080/birt/frameset?showParameterPage=false&__document=c:/temp/therptdcoumentthatyourreapigenerated.rptdocument

Thanks for Reply, 
 
currently i using Design Engine api to create new rptdocument with new setting and saving it in temp folder 
which i pass it to viewer to view report. 
 
Is any other way to do, let me know as it is generating lots of file in temp folder (cleanup required)
