Report generation process [message #707135]

Hey Jason,

How can I stop/quit the report generation process within BIRT? Preferably using scripts.

My requirement is to check for a condition in the initialize script and then not allow the report to be displayed to the user if condition evaluates to true.I reckon a way to do it is to stop the report generation and show a message to the user.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best Regards
Gaurav

Why not put the message in the report in a label and name it something
like mycancellabel. Then name the other items in the report. Then use
a beforeFactory script like:

if( yourchecktocancel == true ){
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mytable").drop();
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mychart").drop();
}else{
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mycancellabel").drop();
}
