Get birt version as a variable

FOS

Hi,
 
Is there a way to get the birt engine version as a variable or parameter in the report design script code?
 
Thanks,

reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getVersion(); 

Result Examples (1st column only) 4.4.0.v20150206-1039 Commercial BIRT iHub 3.1
<div>4.5.0.v201506092134 Open Source BIRT 4.5.0</div>

Thanks a lot Clement!
 
Good day,

Hi, I tried it this way:
 
importPackage(Packages.com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.report.script); 
mxReportScriptContext = MXReportScriptContext.initialize(reportContext); 
mxReportScriptContext.setDefaultLogLevel("DEBUG"); 
mxReportScriptContext.setDefaultLogFile("C:/temp/ITD_Change_Governance_Metrics.log"); 
scriptLogger = mxReportScriptContext.getReportScriptLogger();
 
var MiTest = new String(mxReportScriptContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getVersion());
 
But I get the next error:
 
var MiTest = new String(reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getVersion());": 
TypeError: Cannot find function getVersion. (/report/method[@name="initialize"]#21). 
at org.eclipse.birt.core.script.ScriptContext.eval(ScriptContext.java:307)
 
I tried using reportContext... or mxReportScriptContext... 
 
BTW, I'm using version 2.3. Am I loosing some steps?
 
Thanks,

The getVersion method wasn't available in BIRT 2.3 so that is why you are getting the cannot find function getVersion error.
 
With the BIRT version you are using, the closest you can get is the BIRT Engine JAR file name (and hopefully your BIRT Engine JAR filename has a version and build number associated with it):
 
reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
 
Example output from a BIRT 2.3.2 Designer:
 
<div style="margin-left:40px;">file:/C:/OS_BIRT/232/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.engine_2.3.2.r232_20090217.jar</div>
