Call BIRT using a batch file

Hi,

i try to generate a report via a batch file, but i want to pass multiple value parameters with the data type sting - when i open the report via the webviewer it works but not via the runReport.bat

"Set BIRT_HOME=C:\birt_runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_2\
C:\birt_runtime\birt-runtime-2_6_2\ReportEngine\genReport.bat -p Para='XXXXX' -p Para='YYYYY' -f doc C:\birt_runtime\birt_report\myReport.rptdesign"

thx for your help...

i also try it with a new hidden string parameter and this in the statement: 
 
"this.queryText = this.queryText + "and ti.name in ('"; 
var Para = params["Para"].value 
var ParaString = params["ParaString"].value 
if (ParaString) 
{this.queryText = this.queryText + ParaString;} 
else 
{this.queryText = this.queryText + Para.join("','");}" 
 
but it didnt work. 
 
is the a log function in BIRT - so i can see how the statement looks like when it got executed by BIRT? 
 
thx

If you are calling BIRT from command line you can simply use java.lang.System.out.println("my text") to print out something on the console.
Unfortunately there is no logging mechanism available for that in BIRT.

Are you passing your parameters in the correct format?

I think there should be quotes around the entire parameter statement:

genReport -p "dataSource=D:\data\source.xml" -f PDF -o report.pdf design.rptDesign

Tubal is right: If a value contains a space the quotes are required.
When setting multiple values for a parameter you have to provide all values in a single parameter (If you are using BIRTs default command line runner).

Let's assume that you have a parameter called ids that allows multiple values:

genReport.bat -p "ids=1,2,3,4" -f doc C:\birt_runtime\birt_report\myReport.rptdesign"

thanks a lot it works... 
 
i also try it with the quotes but this way: 
-p "Para=XXXX, YYYY" 
and birt always cuts away my second Para

corret is 
-p "Para=XXXX,YYYY" 
 
 
-> more debugging options would be great
