I recently began using BIRT and have developed a report to use with my xulrunner application. What I haven't yet figured out is how I should deploy the viewer. It seems like BIRT mostly targets Java applications, so there are instructions for deploying on J2EE, JBoss, and other technologies -- with which I am not familiar (but I'm not ...
What is a good tool for PDF report generation in Python? I've checked out ReportLab, but it seems to be awfully low-level for what I want to do. My current hunch is to call TeX on the command-line and let it produce the PDF, but if there is something that is easier to work with (and looks professional - We'll send this to customers) I'd ...
We are migrating our test report data (unit, regression, integration, etc..) from an XML format to a database format for better analysis. Right now the majority of our test analysis is done using the CruiseControl.NET dashboard, but this is limited to primarily the most recent test data. Older test data can be accessed but not easily com...
I have an upcoming project which will have to be able to print simple reports from its data. It'll be WPF-based, and I'm wondering which way to go. I know that WPF introduces its own printing technology (based on XPS) which looks quite easy to use. However, part of me wonders whether it would just be easier to use the ReportViewer contr...
We have a system that is used by a few hundred separate customers, at the end of the month the customer likes to generate a report of the activity with his/her clients. These reports are nothing special; they maybe contain a logo, address and a few lines of mathematical data. Currently we use Crystal Reports but that is just not a pleasa...
On our SQL Server, we have a database for each of our web apps. For reports, we use Reporting Services and all report data (including report parameters) come from stored procedures. The stored procedures are in the same database as the data in the report. So, for example, the procs that serve the Stock reports are in the Stock database...
I am looking for a reporting service/tool for visual Studio. My only restraint is my web server is off limits to me as far as installing ANYTHING. So I need something I can just include in my project. My users need to be able to export a report to PDF and without being able to use Crystal I am pretty much lost. Any ideas? ...
What good components and packages are available for generating HTML reports based on report definitions? I have a truly horrific project where each report is a dedicated aspx page that builds one fantastically big HTML string, which it then assigns to a 'reportBody' Label control. Standard grids are not a good solution as they provide ...
I'm looking for some good recommendations for reporting software for an ASP.net, web application focused shop. Whatever it is, it needs to easily be able to export results to multiple formats (PDF, RTF, TIFF, etc.) Also, it has to be able to easily tie in with our data access layer (Nhibernate). Thanks! ...
I am developing a web application that contains a great deal of reporting. The reports are fairly basic, but some have multiple datasets or embedded charts. One of the key requirements is that each report can be exported to Excel. The Excel version of the report is disconnected and should look the same (or very similar) to the web rep...
How do I configure SSRS/Windows Server 2003, so that I can setup email delivery via a remote SMTP server that requires username and password. I can configure SSRS with an SMTP address and other parameters, but nowhere is it possible to configure it with smtp username and password. I have hunted around, but can only find vague referenc...
For most of our project, we use Jasper Reports, does anyone have experience with other report engines, is there anything better? (We use JR for stock-exchange reports) ...
The situation When you study social sciences, you are frequently confronted with the need for online surveys (scientific data collection online). That's one of the main reasons why I started with PHP in the first place. Recently these survey applications have grown and grown. A lot of complexity has been added: reporting (flash charts,...
Hi all! I use BIRT since early days and still have riddles regarding PDF emitter. Short story: Can I configure fontsConfig.xml to load fonts from relative path or from jars? Long story: We are using FOP for generating PDF in our web application as well as BIRT. It will be nice to share fonts between libraries. Unfortunately, I can't ...
At the risk of being downmodded, I want to ask what the best mechanism (best is obviously subjective for the practice violation inherent here) for viewing data from a table, using C#, with a lot of columns. By a lot, I mean something like 1000. Now before you get all click happy, or throw out responses like "why the hell would you ever...
