cannot get BIRT report to work - help

[wakaru8]

I have read the document on integrating BIRT on the pentaho wiki. I followed through the steps and maybe I'm not as technical a guy but I couldn't get it to work. I even placed the ODBC/JDBC driver I use under the two different directories stated in the wiki article.

Here's what I have/did:

(1) a birt report called test.rptdesign which I dropped into the /samples/reporting/ folder

(2) go into design studio and create an Xaction file called test.xaction

(3) under inputs I have nothing (test.rptdesign is a simple report, needs no parameters)

(4)under resources:

name: report-definition
location: test.rptdesign
source type: solution-file
mimi type: text/plain

(5) under process actions:

I added BIRT from Report -> Other -> BIRT
filled in:

name: BIRT report
report definition test.rptdesign
output format: html

(6) saved the test.xaction under the same folder i dropped off the test.rptdesign which is samples/reporting/

Still can't view the birt report.

Please HELP!

What Pentaho and BIRT versions are you using?
Do you get any error message?
Can you post your BIRT .rptdesign and .xaction files?

I am also having the same problem. The server says
1.) ( line = 0, tag = null) org.eclipse.birt.report.model.parser.DesignParserE
xception (code = Error.DesignParserException.UNSUPPORTED_VERSION, message : The
report file of version "3.2.7" is not supported.).

What versions does Pentaho support?????

Daslan,

Support for recent BIRT releases has been added after the release of Pentaho 1.6
You can test your report with a recent build from ftp://community.pentaho.org/server
