Does the BiRT 2.5.2 version work in the designer?

avujic

Hi mwilliams, Thanks for the answer. No, Designer Version is 3.7.2, and if I try to run 2.5.2 designer version report, it automatically converts 2.5.2 to 3.7.2. Regards,Aleksandar

avujic

Nothing? Nobody had similar issues?

mwilliams

If you're running 2.5.2 designs, try downloading the 2.5.2 runtime to see if that fixes your issue.

avujic

I am not allowed to change runtime since BIRT is deployed on production server. I already try to convince them to upgrade BIRT runtime to 3.7.2 version but nothing. I think I must download 2.5.2 version of Designer and try with that.

avujic

Can someone give me a link to some sort of BIRT archive? I cannot find Designer version 2.5.2 anywhere to download

mwilliams

Here is the archive download for 2.5.2: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://archive.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-2_5_2-201002221500'>http://archive.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-2_5_2-201002221500</a>

Thanks for the link, but it seems that I cannot run this version on my computer. I seems that run script is not working properly or something. Looks like I'm back to square one... I will try to locate part of my report which is incompatible with 2.5.2 version and try to replace or modify that part. Thanks for your help.

mwilliams

If the design XML Source has been changed by the newer designer to say the 3.7.2 version info, you could try simply copying the first few lines of version info from a design created in the 2.5.2 designer and replacing the version info in the XML source for the report you've copied in from 3.7.2. Let me know.

avujic

I don't know if I understand you correctly, but if I did, I already tried to replace 3.7.2 version info with 2.5.2.

I this case, report do not show any errors, but says 'page loaded with errors' and my parameter screen could not open. It seems that I used same new features that ware not present in 2.5.2 version. My report contains 2 tables with table groups, aggregation (sum) and input parameters (some of them are list boxes with dynamic list values). Do you maybe know, are some of them unsupported for the BIRT 2.5.? As far as I know all of this features ware included in 2.5.2 version.

mwilliams

Can you send me the 3.7.2 version of the report?

avujic

You can find report in attachment.

mwilliams

It appears as if you'll have to rebuild the report in 2.5.2. Maybe if you can redesign this one, you can find where the difference is that's not allowing you to open the 3.7.2 ones in 2.5.2 and if it's simple enough, fix it in any other reports.

avujic

That was my plan when you send mi Birt Designer 2.5.2, but I cannot run it for some reason...
No error is displayed, it just could not start.

mwilliams

BIRT 2.5.2 won't even open? If so, did you try downloading again? What version of Java are you using?

avujic

I am using Sun JDK 1.6.0.45 [sun-jdk-1.6] on linux-3.8.13-gentoo (x64). I tried downloading it several times but all ended up with same result.

avujic

I would just like to say that I successfully ran my report. After I replaced dynamic list box with simple list box in parameter properties, report ran perfectly. It seems that I would not be able to use dynamic list boxes as long they do not upgrade Birt. Mwilliams, thank you for your help.

mwilliams

So, a dynamic list box parameter in a report from 2.5.2 doesn't work when moving to 3.7.2? Or the other way around?

avujic

The other way around. I created dynamic list box parameter in 3.7.2. and it does not work in 2.5.2

mwilliams

Either way, I'm glad you've got an acceptable solution!
