Hi All,

While executing BIRT report output as 'PDF'/'EXCEL' is there any possibilities to generate each page of an output as a separate 'PDF'/'EXCEL' document?
I have to generate a report based on country. For each country i need separate PDF/EXCEL document.
Please guide me on this. Thanks in advance.

How are you running the reports. You could always call the re api either in the report using script or in a Java app to burst reports. Take a look at this post:

I did not realize you were using iHub. That example was for Open Source BIRT. Can you take a look at this example?

Hi Jason,

I am using Subreport concept, In which two dataset's are there. First dataset will pass the parameter "Country Value" to second data set, According to that it will generate data. I used page break for each Country, so for each Country there will be a separate page. Instead of page break Is there any option to create each Excel/PDF document for each Country? If so how to achieve that?

My another question is when i am passing the Country name and there is no data for that Country then document for that Country should not be generated.

Kabil,
There is no out of the box way to generate multiple documents from a single report execution. For Excel you can do multiple tabs by using the page settings and select 'Output to multiple sheets'. The example Jason referred to is your best option. You will need two reports. One where each row is country and the other takes the country as a parameter.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jason/Mica,

If there no possibilities for that its fine, I will use two reports. But i want to avoid generating empty document's when bursting reports.
Please help me to know how to achieve that.

Kabil,
The way I would do this is in the driver report the query would not be a simple get customer list. But a list of customers and a count of records that you need in the actual report. If the count is not 0 you generate a report.

Make sense?

I am not 100% on what you are trying to do but unless you use reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("VarNam", value); The value will not be passed from run to render when using frameset or iv servlet mappings.

Hi Kabil,

You will need to use the following:

reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("i",new java.lang.Integer(0));

Thanks Dave,

I have used as you said.
* In initialize method i declared " reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("i",new java.lang.Integer(0)); "
* I have incremented the value of " i " in On create method of 'Table detail Row'
* In Before Render method of a report i am calling the value of " i ". But the value is not incremented. Y it so..

But when i am accessing the value of " i " within table means i am getting its value.

My target is if the number of counts of a table row is '0' then i don't want to save the report document to my local disk.
Any HELP PLS....
