setting a parameter.
Let's say I schedule a report to run every Sunday night to calculate the
past week's activity. In my scheduler code (Java), I know the start and
end times, which I want to map to '?' parameters in my SQL. What chain of
events has to happen?

Thanks! I'll have a look in that direction.
(A "BIRT Cookbook" would be wonderful. There's a big contrast between the
helpfulness of the report design tutorials and the bare API listings in the
programming sections of Eclipse help books.)

In the report engine api the run task and the runandrendertask have
methods that use task.setParameterValue(s)
either use task.setParameterValue(parmname, parmvalue)
task.setParameterValues(parmmap);
IGetParameterDefinitionTask is used to get parameter info, primarily to
build user entry dialogs.

In the report engine api the run task and the runandrendertask have

either use task.setParameterValue(parmname, parmvalue)
task.setParameterValues(parmmap);
IGetParameterDefinitionTask is used to get parameter info, primarily to
build user entry dialogs.

Thanks! I'll have a look in that direction.
(A "BIRT Cookbook" would be wonderful. There's a big contrast between the
helpfulness of the report design tutorials and the bare API listings in the
programming sections of Eclipse help books.)

Thanks! I'll have a look in that direction.
(A "BIRT Cookbook" would be wonderful. There's a big contrast between the

either use task.setParameterValue(parmname, parmvalue)
task.setParameterValues(parmmap);
IGetParameterDefinitionTask is used to get parameter info, primarily to
build user entry dialogs.
