Can you view a spotfire report in a different spotfire report using the URL?
I am trying to find instructions that would show me how to view a report in the report I am creating, but so far all I can find is how add a link to another report. Anyone done this in one of their reports?

Here I have a question that is it possible to create an interactive report.
I have a requirement like I have to approve bulk data in Maximo side with birt, in birt report I will keep check boxes who else will run that report they will select that checkboxes if they select the checkbox in the report, the same checkbox need to update in Maximo record. In Maximo also records contain checkboxes.
Two examples of how Maximo does this in the out of the box reports would be the Inventory ROP Analysis and Inventory EOQ Analysis reports - both come with the option on the last page to update Maximo with the suggested Economic Order Quantity or Re Order Point data. That's where I'd start.
The BIRT update reports are interesting. There are several actually. The update report is called directly from the runtime report, as #JohnHartin states. They are not registered directly to the Application. This is for security reasons.
The update report when executed will take the same input parameters you entered into the runtime report and essentially re-execute the report , except the update report has SQL which writes back to the DB. As mentioned as and example: the ROP Analysis. You will find the ".rptdesign" file in the {Maximo_home}/reports/birt/reports/INVENTOR folder on your Maximo build machine. (The report subfolder is the repository you import into BIRT tool to modify your reports.)
From your BIRT workstation navigate to the INVENTOR folder in your project browser and you can then see it in BIRT. Next, you will be able to open up the design file, (note the update reports have "update" as part of the design file name so real easy to identify.) Then you can examine the SQL in the Initialize method of the report.
Since this report works in conjunction with the Analysis report what happens when you touch the update button on the analysis report, is the data generated in the analysis report is parsed and sent as multiple update SQL transactions back to Maximo DB. It is incumbent upon you to be very careful making any modifications to the Analysis AND update reports together.
Hope this helps.
I have created a page with master detail report on Oracle Apex version 18.1. I am trying to download the reports through actions menu but I am only able to download the master report. If I click download for the detailed report, its generating an empty file even when data is present. I have also tried creating a manual download button but that is also generating an empty file. Can someone please suggest a solution?
I have a big issue with birt report recently. We all know that we can use birt report designer to draw a report by drag some report elements from palette. But,my leader have a point that if we can draw a simple report without using birt report designer?
You can use Excel as a data source and then use the API to pull information out of that or build a report. As mentioned earlier, you can also create the XML that defines the report outside of the designer as well. You could also write JavaScript or other client side code to take the Excel file and extract data from that to use in a report.
I've followed this tutorial but when I tested it doesn't work.
I've created a "Form on a Table with Report", and tried to put a button on the edit page and set its action as "Download printable Report Query" and linked it to my own Report Query.
That's the info. about the branch:
I've being struggling all week, but couldn't find anything, thanks in advance.
General Information:
Oracle 11g
Application Express 4.2.5
Apex Listener 2.0.5
Glassfish 4.0
I would start by first confirming that you can output a default format pdf report from a classic report. This is the easiest case and will help to show where you might have a set up problem.
Follow these two guides:
Custom PDF Reports -- especially the sections on Configuring APEX Listener as a Print Server and Printing a Simple Classic Report as PDF
PDF Printing Tutorial
Once you get this working, you can expand out to making your own custom xsl-fo template file and making your own print button and you will have a better idea of where problems are arising in the process.
I wanted to generate report using huge data load. when I'm generating a report using Birt it would load the all data and Birt report viewer will do the pagination for me. It seems like a huge performance draw back and it has been taking so long to process the report.
So I though of putting a limit queries on my scripted data source to load only the data that required to show on the current page. And My birt report viewer also should show proper pagination arrows to navigate through the report pages. and it will generate pages on demand.
I would thing anybody might have implemented this before. please help me on this.
Thanks
