Birt report shows only header and footer

Troubleshooting


Problem

When I run a Birt report from Maximo, it only shows the report Heading and page footer. There is no data in the body of the report. This can happen for out-of-the-box reports or custom reports.

Symptom

I have data, yet my report returns no results. I have seen the report run fine in the Eclipse design tool.
