Fetch Windows Logged User Name To Report

jegan

Hi all,

I would like to add a PRINTER BY field in report where this field should fetch username of person currently logged to Windows. How can I do this? Tried googling around but couldn't find anything related to my issue. Hope someone can assist me on this. Thanks in advance.

Add the following to beforeFactory() 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("userName",System.getProperty("user.name"));
</pre>
 
Then this code to a dynamic text box 
 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("userName");
</pre>

Hi Clark, 
 
Thanks for the codes. 
 
Some how the codes works; only in designer mode. But when I execute the report from BIRT Viewer, it just display SYSTEM as username, not my actual username in Windows. Same scenario for other users executing the report from BIRT Viewer.

That code is only going to show the username of the host machine. If the report is ran on the server but displayed on your desktop it is going to show the server information.

HI clark,

So how do i get the username of a person running the report instead getting server info?
