I have been asked to produce some BIRT reports to support the communication of results from some proof of concept modeling based on the ASPIN economic model, I note that you have a requirement for report development, has this been documented anywhere? or are there any ideas floating around that may make my efforts generally useful.
So far two mechanisms have been discussed internally: a simple reporting attachment to a function which creates a simple, maybe simplistic report of the given data set based on a collection of fixed templates to a specific media, PDF DITA Docbook etc. The second approach is two stage; first a collection of functions (snapshot filter etc.) is used to prepare the data for the report; this stage being performed by the MetaABM editor, on completion the BIRT template editor is invoked to design and edit the presentation of the data, the MetaABM editor providing the prepossessing of the data, the report template editor defining how the data will be shown, both contained in the AMP IDE producing a seamless application. The first concept as the advantage of simplicity and requires no knowledge of BIRT, the second released the full potential of the BIRT system and any future developments
