How to execute previous or current version of Report Design stored in Encyclopedia

I have requirement to execute current or previous version of the report. 
 
They have used following code with in the JSP for displaying the BIRT report. 
 
function init() 
{ 
 
actuate.load("viewer"); 
actuate.initialize( "<%=PORT_URL%>/", null, "<%=username%>", "<%=password%>", GetParamValue ); 
} 
 
function GetParamValue() { 
 
var theStatus = new Object(); 
var myvar_array; 
var output_array = new Array(); 
var query_string = unescape(location.search.substr(1)); 
var mytool_array = query_string.split("&"); 
for(var i=0;i<=(mytool_array.length)-1;i++) 
{ 
 
for(var j=0;j<=(mytool_array.split("=").length)-1;j++) 
{ 
myvar_array = mytool_array.split("="); 
theStatus[myvar_array[0]]= myvar_array[1]; 
} 
 
 
 
} 
myViewer = new actuate.Viewer( "myViewerDivContainer" ); 
myViewer.setWidth(1000); 
myViewer.setReportName("<%=Report_Name%>" ); 
myViewer.setParameters( 
{ 
"pin_Market": theStatus 
} 
);

Hi ramshankar,
Seems like you are using Actuate Javascript API's to display BIRT visualizations in your application. With Version 10 of Actuate products you can run upto version 2.3 of BIRT reports. Actuate 11 (currently in beta) extends support for BIRT 2.5.

Hi Ashwini,
I think, I have not framed the question right.

The scenario is straightforward

I have developed a BIRT report and deployed twice in the Encyclopedia. I will have two version in the Actuate iServer contain version 1 and 2.

If we pass the report name then lastest version will be executed from the iServer.

My question:
How to execute the previous version of the report design stored in iServer, I am not talking about the BIRT Report Version.

Please could you help me in this regards.

Hi ramshankar, 
 
To use a specific version of report you can append the version# to report name separated by a semicolon. e.g. 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
myViewer.setReportName(“basename.rptddesign;XX”)
//XX is the file version number
</pre>
