Does anyone out there talk BIRT on the iSeries?
Anyone out there know what the iSeries is?
I would like to run the BIRT Viewer from a Tomcat server on an iSeries.
There was some good info from 2005 on the BIRT World blog that helped me
to get it very close to running but there seems to be some quirks in my
configuration and I have not succeeded yet. The blog is at
http://birtworld.blogspot.com/2005/10/using-birt-on-iseries. html
Evidently the original posting was created in one of the BIRT newsgroups
by a user named "RAM" and then Jason Weathersby posted it on the blog.
Thanks to both of them for even giving me an idea of how to do this.
I sure would appreciate an updated version of how to get it working on an
iSeries running V5R4.
Thanks.

Jason,
Thanks for responding.
I have gotten to different levels of success in several attempts but the
latest attempt fails upon server start-up with these messages in the error
log:
[Tue Mar 27 09:51:50 2007] [notice] ZSRV_MSG0385: Apache configured --
resuming normal operations.
[Tue Mar 27 09:52:00 2007] [emerg] Error while opening the workers
[Tue Mar 27 09:52:02 2007] [notice] ZSRV_MSG0387: SIGTERM received.
Shutting down.
In various attempts I've seen messages about it not liking something with
the Worker file; I've had it get to the point where it just can't find the
rptdesign file (some kind of path problem?); and I've gotten to a point
where it seems like it would have worked but gets a bunch of Java messages
-- perhaps a class path problem or something?
The directories on the IFS of the iSeries go like this:
Root/www/birthttp/webapps etc. I put birt.war at that level.
I've tried so many things that I have lost track of what seemed to help
and what didn't. That is when I started over and created a new Tomcat
instance -- the one now called birthttp but I can't get past the startup
failing. If you get me past that I am sure to encounter the next level of
problems... the correct URL path, and then the Java class path.
I have not worked with setting up an HTTP server before or even done any
web development, etc. I've been an iSeries programmer for many years so I
don't know all the places to look for trying to figure this out. I have
had some dev time with Lotus Notes and with Oracle so that has helped to
give me the general idea of how web dev goes but I certainly have a lot to
learn. I may not understand some of the questions you might ask.
I've kind of given up on BIRT but if you think this is worth a shot I'll
check back and see if you have any ideas.
Thanks again.

I am not certain I can help you with the tomcat piece, because I do not
have access to an iSeries machine. Can you first try to get Tomcat
running without Birt?

What error messages are you getting?

Richard,
If you get this to work would you mind contributing to the
wiki with some instructions?

Richard,
About the only error message I can give you right now is:
XmlMapper: Can't find resource for entity: -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD
Web Application 2.3//EN -->
This is in the /www/birthttp/logs/jvmstdout.txt file.
This happens whenever I start the HTTP server called birthttp.
I use to get further in the process than this but I goofed something up.
Thanks.

I have BIRT running successfully under Tomcat on an iSeries.
iSeries is at V5R3
Tomcat version 5.5.23
BIRT version 2.1.2
I downloaded Tomcat directly from the www.apache.org website. In addition to
the Core binary distribution, I downloaded the JDK 1.4 Compatibility Package
since my iSeries has a 1.4 JVM. Once those zip files were extracted into the
IFS on the iSeries (with the jar command), I was able to start/stop Tomcat
by using the custom startup and shutdown scripts from "Installing and
Configuring Tomcat on iSeries" by David Morris. You can find this article at
http://www.itjungle.com/mpo/mpo021402-story02.html
I'm using BIRT 2.1.2, since later versions appear to require a 1.5 JVM. I
was able to install BIRT by using Tomcat's manager application.
Let me know if you need more information.
Have fun!

Richard,
Thanks for confirming that it can work on an iSeries under Tomcat. When I
get a chance I will see what I can do. Unfortunately my management may
have lost interest for now.
Thanks again.
