Hi,

I am getting problems in generating PDF report from linux system.

PDF reports are generated properly if i run the program from windows system.

I have copied the ReportEngine from windows system to linux system.

Any help is appreciated.

Let me know, in case you need more information.

Thanks

Sudhir

Not getting any error in console or in logs.

I am using following code.

 
/* Partie initialisation */
		ReportEngine engine = null;
		EngineConfig engineConfig = new EngineConfig();
		engineConfig.setEngineHome(birtPath);
		File logDir = new File(strLogDir);
		if (!logDir.exists()) {
			logDir.mkdir();
		}
		if (log) {
			engineConfig.setLogConfig(strLogDir, Level.INFO);
		} else {
			engineConfig.setLogConfig(strLogDir, Level.OFF);
		}

		try {
			engine = new ReportEngine(engineConfig);
			// Dont remove this code.If birt engine path is valid but it does
			// not contain
			// Birt Engine then it will validate Report engine object.
			engine.getRootScope();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			Main
					.getLogger()
					.log(
							"Error: Reporting engine path does not contain valid Birt Engine.");
			ReportingUIErrorWriter.process(ReportingUIErrorProcessor
					.getString("ERR_CODE_025"), null);
			systemExit(FAILURE);
		}

		IReportRunnable design = null;
		RenderOptionBase option = new RenderOptionBase();

		if ((format.toLowerCase() != "pdf") && (format.toLowerCase() != "html"))
			format = "pdf"; // format par défaut
		option.setOutputFormat(format.toLowerCase()); // Format du fichier de
		// sortie

		/* Fin initialisation */
		/* Préparation de l'édition */
		try {
			design = engine.openReportDesign(templateLoc);
		} catch (EngineException e) {
			Main.getLogger().log(
					"Warning : Fail to open report Design file : "
							+ e.getMessage());
			ReportingUIErrorWriter.process(ReportingUIErrorProcessor
					.getString("ERR_CODE_026"), null);
			systemExit(FAILURE);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			if (e instanceof NullPointerException) {
				Main.getLogger().log(
						"Error: Reporting engine path is not correct.");

				// Destroy the engine object.
				if (engine != null) {
					engine.destroy();
					engine = null;
				}
				ReportingUIErrorWriter.process(ReportingUIErrorProcessor
						.getString("ERR_CODE_027"), null);
				systemExit(FAILURE);
			}
		}

		try {
			/*
			 * Changement de source inspiré de
			 * http://jsourcery.com/api/sourceforge/openreports/2.1/org/efs/openreports/engine/BirtReportEngine.source.html

			ReportDesignHandle reportDH = (ReportDesignHandle) design

								.getAbsolutePath());
					}
				} catch (SemanticException e) {
					Main.getLogger().log(
							"Warning : SemanticException in path change"
									+ e.getMessage());
					systemExit(FAILURE);
				}
			}
			
			//drop Grid rows containing information about Location Host and Location Components.
			if(!isSummaryReport){
				if(isDetailedLocInfoDisabled){			
					reportDH.getElementByID(1112).dropAndClear();  // delete and clear the location hostname attribute			
					reportDH.getElementByID(1116).dropAndClear(); // delete and clear the location components attribute
				}				
			}
			
			design.setDesignHandle(reportDH);
			/* Fin changement source */
			IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
			/* Fin de la préparation */

			/* Création PDF */
			option.setOutputFileName(outputFile + format); // Nom du fichier de
			// sortie

				}
			}else{
				task.setParameterValue("totalDuration", XMLReportParsing.totalDurationString.substring(1, XMLReportParsing.totalDurationString.length()-2));
			}

			/* Fin création PDF */
			try {
				// On crée le fichier où l'on va écrire. S'il existe déjà, on
				// écrit à la suite
				task.run(); // Déclenchement de l'édition
				// ferme le fichier qui log le run de BIRT
			} catch (EngineException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
				Main.getLogger().log(
						"Error in Report Generation : " + e.getMessage());
				ReportingUIErrorWriter.process(ReportingUIErrorProcessor
						.getString("ERR_CODE_028"), null);
				systemExit(FAILURE);
			}
			task = null;
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			Main.getLogger().log(
					"Error in Report Generation : " + e.getMessage());
			ReportingUIErrorWriter.process(ReportingUIErrorProcessor
					.getString("ERR_CODE_028"), null);
			systemExit(FAILURE);
		}



I was suspecting it an issue of fonts file etc. as i used Arial font family in my report design. So I tried copying arial.ttf from my windows machine to Linux machine but still no success.
