Hello,
Is it possible to open report in BIRT Report Viewer directly from WinCC OA? Currently we are generating birt report in html format through system command and then opening it in webview ewo. This works OK, but we don't have option to export report if we open it in this way, and BIRT Report Viewer has this option.
Best regards,
Nedžad

Re: Opening report in BIRT Report Viewer from WinCC OA?
Hello.
The Webview EWO is based on Qt WebKit.
While this comes very close to a browser feature range there are few limitations.
The export options of the BIRT Viewer is one of them.
For a direct integration within OA, html in the EWO is still the recommended option.
If you want to use different file formats there are several possibilities(yet "outside" of OA):
[*]URL parameters, see http://www.eclipse.org/birt/documentati ... -usage.php-> Parameters -> _format
You could call the browser with the desired file format, set the viewer port to a fixed number (see OA product help for details) for that case [*]
[*]https://reportserver.net/en/ is also an option, there you can define reports e.g. on a daily basis and even have them sent via mail to you.[*]
[*]If you use the BIRT Runtime (see http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/) you can also create the reports with system commands
e.g. D:/birt-runtime-4_4_1/ReportEngine/genReport.bat -F D:/myparams.properties -f PDF -o D:/my.pdf -F D:/myreport.rptdesign and open the output files externally[*]
