I have seen all the samples of the Birt reports available in eclipse - they do not say how to have multi paged Birt reports - as in what if I have ten tables - and all of them producing different data - These cannot be put in one page.
So how do I add multiple pages to one report?. Or if that is not possible - how do I club multiple reports (Each report containing one page design only :( ) together - without any page breaks
Can we do this without any programming? If not, can someone point to example source code - where merger is demonstrated ?.
I don't know of any tool to combine separate reports automatically.
The simplest way to combine multiple reports into a single report is to copy and paste the report items from the layout tab (Tables, Charts, Cross Tabs etc) of each of the original reports into the layout tab of the combined report.
You can force page breaks between different report items on the Page Break section of the Properties tab within the Property Editor for the relevant report items.
You will need to ensure that the combined report has all required data sources, data sets and report parameters - these can be transferred from the original reports by copying and pasting from the Data Explorer within the original reports, into the Data Explorer in the combined report.

I was trying to create one report with several pages doing this:
I've created like 3 reports with different embedded datasets (each report has nothing to do with the others).
I've created a main report where i put the 3 subreports, overlaying them.
In SSRS web view i can change the the pages in order to see each subreport in a different page.
The problem is when i tried to export the report in PDF, there is not a "page break" so the first page contain all the reports overlayed.... this is a big issue....
Is there a way to fix this?
You can enclose sub reports in a rectangle and provide page break properties to the rectangle.
1st sub-report should be within 1st rectangle and as is.
You can also make sure, sub-reports are one-by-one in the design for proper page breaks.
I have may RDL's to update with there footer information for my client. I have almost 45-50 RDL's to update with footer information.
Which is the best way to copy paste the code from one RDL to another or any other method that suits me to do it within less time.
I tried using copying the footer information from the code to the another code. But giving me error such as below
"More than one report item in the report has the name 'Textbox3'. Report item names must be unique within a report. "
The goal is to achieve this within less time and customizing the SSRS design page using alternatives .But its not working. Please help me the unique ideas.Thanks
I have a report and want to fix it to 1 page (A4) regardless of the number of rows in the table. Usually it's 10 rows but can be more in some cases.
Anyway I need to use BIRT in a fixed context (3rd party application), eg. no option to adjust the BIRT viewer or url params. Therefore how can I add this option to my report design so that it is applied automatically?
I don't think it is possible to force a render option from the report-design. If it was it would probably achieved by using this code fragment from "beforeRender" script of the report:
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api);
reportContext.getRenderOption().setOption(IPDFRenderOption.PAGE_OVERFLOW,IPDFRenderOption.FIT_TO_PAGE_SIZE);
I tried it, it appears at this stage the BIRT task has already applied render options and therefore this new value is ignored.
If you have access to the source code of this third party app it is quite easy to add a "Fit to" PDF render option.
Otherwise you will have to change the report-design and make it a little bit more dynamic: there are many design tips allowing to fit a report in a single page, one of them is to change the height of some items by script depending on the number of rows of the table.
I designed crystal report like this:
in this i have a sub report named
TransactionDetailed
that i given in ReportFooter part. while coming records am getting two problems
1->sub report heading not coming all pages,,i want to show sub report heading where ever i am getting subreport
2->in first page of my crystal report only showing main report...not getting sub report,,sub report alwayes showing 2 nd page of my crystal reports onwards,,
how i can resolve these two issues?
The way your report is structured is the reason you are not getting correct results. Report Header and Footer should only contain information you want to show ONCE. Page Header and Footer should contain information you want to see on every page (i.e. a logo, legal info in the footer, etc.). Group Header and Footer will show data for the items you have grouped by. The detail section will show all data that pertains to the group. So either group your data and then put the subreport in the Detail section or create a second detail section and put your subreport in there.
Is it possible to have 3 reports all linked to each other on a single page.
Suppose I have 3 reports. First one drills down to second and second drills down to third i.e. on clicking on first report the second opens and on clicking on second the third opens. Also the second report needs parameters which are passed down from the first report.
Now these reports open up in a new page on clicking. I want the second report to open below second report and third below second. Is this possible??
Short answer:
Yes
Longer answer:
There are a number of different ways of combining reports and linking them to each other in BIRT. Reports can be delivered as web pages, PDF, Excel, etc. Obviously differing deliveries would want different solutions.
If your are delivering to PDF where the report would be printed, you can essentially put three reports (tables) on the same document which all show the results based on the same parameters
If you are delivering as web pages you can have links in pretty much any place on the report that will jump to another report using a value as a parameter (i.e. Report1 = everything for a week; click on "Monday" see Report2 with just everything from Monday; click on "Noon" and see Report3 with just everything from Noon.
