Hello, 
I need to automate the BIRT report generation via a cron job to generate PDFs. 
I've been looking at 2 possibilities: 
1) runReport batch file: 
I can generate the sample report but when I want to generate a Jazz (RTC-based) report I get the error: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>

What am i doing wrong? I check the ODA jar is part of the BIRT runtime plugins directory... 
 
2) Use the IReportViewerService from RTC: 
I call com.ibm.team.reports.service.internal.IReportViewerService with the parameters: 
__format=pdf 
.__projectAreaUUID=**** 
__ownerUUID=**** 
 
However how to a create a script to specify the output file name and to handle the authentication? 
 
Has anyone done that? Is it possible? 
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks in advance

Have you coppied the jars to the plugins directory? It sounds like to me that you are missing one? How have you deployed this?

Thanks for your reply.
To deploy, I simply unzipped the BIRT runtime and I copied all the required jars to the plugins directory and the \WEB-INF\platform\plugins directory. Reports are generated fine when I use the sample reports but when I try to generate a Jazz report, the Jazz data source returns this ODA configuration error....

Apparently, RTC BIRT reports depends heavily on a custom RTC ODA driver. It is not possible....
