Birt URL Run command without render [message #160676]

Is it possible to invoke the run action from a web browser and having the
report files saved in the specified (PDF/HTML) format without the return
render stream. In effect an invocation from the viewer to the engine for a
runTask only and not a runAndRenderTask. => the generation phase without
the presentation phase.

Also, A reference to the generated ReportDocument is to be stored in a
list at the browser for a presentation url action at a later stage. Eg. A
URL download command would be useful where report engine phase
2(presentation) is performed and the output sent to the browser.

Is there any easy way to do this at present?

Any help appreciated, Thanks

This is possible doing it yourself with your own servlet and report engine
api. Another option is to specify the __document parameter to save to the
document wherever you want.

What are you using to call the URL? You could write a little wrapper
app, I am using PHP, to call the URL and get the render as a binary dump
that you can save wherever you want. I am using curl, but there are many
ways to do this. This also makes it very easy to wrap any authentication
requirements you have around the process.
