Executing a DataSet and getting ResultSet

vondzagen

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have managed o create a DataSet as defined here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3244468/how-to-set-a-datasource-for-a-birt-report-programmatically'>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3244468/how-to-set-a-datasource-for-a-birt-report-programmatically</a></p&gt;
<p> </p>
<p>How can I execute this Dataset and getting a ResultSet? I don't want to use this dataset in any widget (table, chart...).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks a ton for your help</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p> </p>

One way would be to bind it to a hidden text box within your report design. That will force the dataSet to execute. Another that's currently available is the Data Engine API. This is a private API that has been exposed for a while, so there is no guarantee that it will always be available.<br><br><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/822-data-engine-api-to-check-data-set-values/'>http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/822-data-engine-api-to-check-data-set-values/</a&gt;
