Setting the Relative path

srikala

Hello

In our report design , we need to set the relative path rather than absolute path.
But in birt designer BIRT 3.7.1, its allowing us to set the relative path to a specific file than folder.

But in our case, we have multiple datasets (ie csv files) in one location , so if we are using relative path , becoz its not allowing us to set to a folder location , we are having one datasource for each dataset.

Can i set a folder path relatively than a file path.

Hi, 
 
You can set the path to anything you want by editing the XML, but that doesn't mean it'll actually work

Part of the problem is that the report engine can work from a stream, rather than an absolute file, so it can't have anything that is dependent on the filename. 
Fortunately, you can work around this with a script as long as the report context includes the full path to the file. 
Getting that report context set correctly can be awkward, and depends upon your deployment environment. 
 
I blogged about this a while back: <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.spudsoft.co.uk/2011/10/lsned43-how-to-have-relative-path-in-a-flat-file-data-source-in-birt/'>http://www.spudsoft.co.uk/2011/10/lsned43-how-to-have-relative-path-in-a-flat-file-data-source-in-birt/</a>. 
For some reason I didn't put that on devshare, I'll do that later today.
