Empty title and description when importing customized TCR reports

Hi,
We make use of TBSM 4.2.1 and it's reporting through TCR. After customizing reports through BIRT and re-importing these customized reports, the description and the title are not (properly) populated. The title is replaced by the report name (without .rptdesign) and the description is left blank.
How can we import the reports preserving the title and description?
Thanks in advance for your updates.

Hi,
Hi, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘preserve’, since I don’t believe the items don’t exist any where. TCR doesn’t pull the information out of the .rptdesign if that’s what you mean.
There are 2 types of TCR report packages:
Design package - easy method to create simple zip to import into TCR. This is what you created.
Definition package - a zip that that contains a XML files that describes the package contents. Things like display names, descriptions, globalizations, report set hierarchies, the ability to import a design and not make it a visible report (drill through only). This is the package that TBSM ships (look for tbsm-reports.zip on the TBSM install media).
To learn more about creating the packages, have a look here:

Alternatively, if you can right have already right clicked on the report in TCR, select properties, edit the display name and description. After this you can use the TCR command line (trcmd) to export your reports into a ‘definition package’ that will contain the meta-data XML file.
