Hi,

While running 2 reports parallely using BIRT3.7 we are getting below exception and reports are erroring out.Please find the document attached for exception.

Environment in which our reports:

Operating System:Linux
JDK:jdk1.5
Database:oracle 10g
BIRT 3.7
Application Server:Weblogic 10

Any thoughts on how to get rid of this exception?

Thanks,
KKP

Are you running this with the WebViewer or some code that uses the RE
API? If you are using the RE API can you post the code you are using?

We are using RE API and below is the code:
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setResourcePath(birtProperties.getBirtResources(key));
config.getAppContext().put(EngineConstants.WEBAPP_CLASSPATH_KEY,classPathString);
config.setTempDir(birtProperties.getTempCacheDirectory(tmp));

For generating report:

IReportRunnable design = birtReportEngine.openReportDesign(reportName);
task = birtReportEngine.createRunTask(design);
task.run(rptDocumentName);
task.close();

Pleased suggest if any more info is needed and improvements for better performance.

Thanks,
KKP

How are you getting the report engine? Are calls to it synchronized?
How do you name the rptdocument?

This is how ReportEngine is defined:

public static synchronized IReportEngine getBirtEngine() {
IReportEngine birtEngine = null;
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setResourcePath(birtProperties.getBirtResources(key));
config.getAppContext().put(EngineConstants.WEBAPP_CLASSPATH_KEY,classPathString);
config.setTempDir(birtProperties.getTempCacheDirectory(tmp));
IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform .createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
birtEngine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
return birtEngine;}

and this is how rptdocument is named:

// calls above defined method.
IReportEngine birtReportEngine = ReportEngine.getBirtEngine();
String reportName = birtProperties.getBirtResources(ceoAppId) + File.separator + jobBo.getReportName();
reportLogger.info("reportName : " + reportName);
IReportRunnable design = birtReportEngine.openReportDesign(reportName);
task = birtReportEngine.createRunTask(design);
task.run(rptDocumentName);

rptDocumet wld be same as rptdesign except for the sequence attached to it at the end.

I am not sure what is happening. It would be good if I could reproduce
the issue. BTW are you wrapping the engine creation in a synchronized
call. Look at:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Servlet_Example_%28BIRT%29_2.1

It is an older example but creates only one instance of the engine and
that creation is synchronized.

Jason,

Yes the engine creation is wrapped in a synchronized call. Each time we run more than 5 reports parallely we are getting the error and had to bounce the server.

Thanks,
KKP

Can you open a bugzilla entry on this? I can not reproduce the issue.
