I am attempting to script the generation of BIRT reports through the command line.<br />
I have set up my BIRT_HOME, extracted the BIRT Runtime to a directory with a short path (thus correcting a problem I encoutnered initially), and created a plugins folder under birt-runtime-3_7_1/ReportEngine/ with the directory containing the ojdbc driver I use in creating the reports (correcting another issue I encountered). <br />
In a command prompt, I navigate to the ReportEngine directory, where I have copied a .rptdesign file (for convenience) and execute 'genReport.bat -f DOC -o test.doc -F <myFile>.rptdesign'.<br />
However, it then prints a series of exceptions:<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
C:\birt-runtime-3_7_1\ReportEngine>genReport.bat -f DOC -o test.doc -F myRpt.rptdesign

Regardless of what directory I am presently in, it always prints:<br />
"SEVERE: file: <current working directory> not exists!"<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
