Modifying reports without data set changes

To modify a BIRT report that does not involve data set changes, you use the Document Manager to check out the report file. After you change the report, check in the file by using the Document Manager.

Procedure

  1. In the Document Manager, check out the file.
  2. Create a starter report in IBM® TRIRIGA® and import the starter report into BIRT.
  3. Make any needed changes to the report and save the file. If you change a standard BIRT report, rename the report before you load it into the Document Manager to protect your customized version in the case of an IBM TRIRIGA upgrade.
  4. Check the file back into the Document Manager.
