Any one ever see any BIRT ODA driver for bugzilla, Which can be used to
access data from bugzilla in BIRT reports? Or is there any other easy way
to access bugzilla data in BIRT reports?
Need this for an urgent demo...any help will be appreciated!

Xiang,

I have not seen one, but I think you can download the data in CSV and
use the flat file driver or import to a db.

Below is an example of reporting of Bugzilla from MySQL

http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile. php?cid=2&lid=46

I have also created reports from the Bugzilla feeds, you can use the CSV
feed with the BIRT Flat file data source... or the RSS feed with the
BIRT XML data source.

Xiang,

Jason and Virgil have great answers all ready. By far the easiest way to
report on Bugzilla using BIRT is to just attach to the MySQL database that
backs up Bugzilla (See Virgil's post).

If you don't have access to the Bugzilla database, then you have to use the
export options to get the data as a comma seperated value feed or an RSS
feed. This technique will work, but is not nearly as neat and tidy as connecting
directly to the DB.

If you want to use the exports as CSV, and you want to make it neat and tidy,
that is when you need to create an ODA. Depending on what you want to do,
and your experience with Eclipse, this can be any where from a trivial to
a mind-bending experience.

Thanks Scott! and Thanks Jason and Virgil for all of our kind help!

I can build a report with exported XML/CSV for presentation fow now.
Will consider about building ODA driver later if we really need it.
