Does BIRT support asynchronous invocation of reports?

I am looking for a run method that gives me a job id of some kind and i
can query BIRT using the job id and get the status of the report execution?

Mikey,

If you spawn a thread to run a task, in that thread you can check the
status of the task by calling task.getStatus(), which will return one of
the following as defined in the IEngineTask

STATUS_NOT_STARTED
STATUS_RUNNING
STATUS_SUCCEEDED
STATUS_FAILED
STATUS_CANCELLED

Jason,

Thanks for that. Have you got an example of this?

Thanks once again

Could you please clarify this thread.
after i run a task, BIRT engine waits until this task is finished for it to continue processing making it impossible to satisfy the condition where

task.getStatus() == IRunTask.STATUS_RUNNING

Please clarify as i need to return the task status in case the document generation takes some while for big reports. With my very limited knowledge of BIRT i think it is synchronous report generation. since a task has to wait until the run is finished in order to continue processing, right?

thanks a lot for the help

Tony

Tony,

In that example a separate thread is launched that just cancels the
current threads task. You get the task number as soon as you create it.
You could spawn another thread to monitor the task. I put the code
back in this response and if you look at the line :

Thread.currentThread().sleep( 100 );
rTask.cancel();
System.out.println("######Report Cancelled#######");
The thread sleeps for 100 millis and then cancels the task. You could
have put a while loop that checked the status every couple of seconds
and when it ran to long cancel it.

Here are the status values:

* the task is not running yet
*/
static final int STATUS_NOT_STARTED = 0;
/**
* the task is running
*/
static final int STATUS_RUNNING = 1;
/**
* the task is finished with sucessful
*/
static final int STATUS_SUCCEEDED = 2;
/**
* the task is finished with errors
*/
static final int STATUS_FAILED = 3;
/**
* the task is finished by cancled
*/
static final int STATUS_CANCELLED = 4;

You can also implement a progress monitor that is notified of different
events as they occur.
Take a look at this page:
