Does BIRT support "Bursting"?

Within Actuate eRD Pro & iServer products you can design and execute a report that will create many report objects within in one report execution. An example would be creating a customer statement as a seperate physical report for each customer in one execution of the report design. Does BIRT allow you to do this as well?

Thanks,

One way to accomplish this with BIRT reports is to create a "Driver" report. This Driver report would make web services calls from a Java based event handler in the BIRT report to the iServer to submit a job for each customer in a customer list (data set).

Thanks Rob. We are currently using a driver technique similar to the one you recommended. I was wondering if we could "Burst" with BIRT, similiar to what we can do within the Actuate product.

Thanks again,
Dennis

Not that I'm aware of at this time.
