Hello,
I am using BIRT 2.0.1
When I try to open a report (which has two parameters), in the html view, I
dont see the parameter dialog. How can I see the parameter input dialog in
html view?

When I try to view the report (using frameset or by specifiying
__format=pdf), I am getting the pdf version of Birt Viewer with nothing on
it. On the status bar it says "Error in running report". When I click on
the error icon (on the bottom of IE status line), it shows a dialog with
the following :

Line: 167
Char : 3
Error: 'birtParameterDialog' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL:
http://localhost:8090/birt-viewer/frameset?__report=Report\T estActivity.rptd
esign

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated .... I am stuck
up with this for the past 2 days ...

Thanks

Sai

First assign default values to your parameters so that you get some output.

Using the viewer use the reportParam command while running from browser.

If using Report Engine, use the command

task.setParameter(paramname,paramvalue)

Yes ... all my parameters have default value and when I run within Eclipse,
I am able to see some output (in html format). It fails when I try to view
the report using the integrated web viewer or in pdf format.

Would you please elaborate little bit on "Using the viewer use the
reportParam command while running from browser" ...

I am not creating the report through report engine API. I created the
report using report designer.

I looked into the help for "reportParam" ...I want to get those parameter
values from the user. For that I need to show the paratmeter window, which
is not showing up (that is the main issue). How to show (or to find what is
the error in ) displaying the parameter window?

As far as I know there is no way in BIRT to show the parameter page in
HTML or in other format.

The thing I would suggest is to send parameters through the viewer servlet.
Read BIRT documentation on how to setup an BIRT Viewer and how to deploy a
BIRT report design file onto a J2EE server(use Tomcat).Should not be very
difficult.

After that enter the following URL in your browser :
http://localhost:8080/run?_report=myreport.rptdesign/&pa ramname1=paramvalue1/&paramname2=paramvalue2

Not sure what you are asking but have you tried right clicking on the
"Report Parameters" and adding fields for the user input.

The instructions for installing birt with tomcat have been updated (they
were wrong) and if you re-read them, you should get a better understanding
of how and what is possible
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerSetup.php

Especially follow the new link:
See Viewer Usage for information on the Viewer Operations.
