Running a BIRT design or report executable job

BIRT Design files and e.Report executable files are available in Items You Can Run. They run as file jobs to create new documents. Either the browser-based BIRT Studio tool or BIRT Designer Professional can create BIRT report design files. Developers create report executable files in e.Report Designer Professional.

Users can run a design or executable file job in the following ways:

n  
Run: prompts for parameters if required, starts generating the document immediately and opens the resulting document in BIRT Viewer or BIRT Interactive Viewer.
n  
Run and Save: prompts for parameters if required and save-as details before opening the resulting document. The document from the finished file job becomes available in the Encyclopedia volume.
n  
Schedule: prompts for parameters if required, scheduling, and save-as details before entering the job in the job task list. The document from the finished file job becomes available in the Encyclopedia volume. Scheduling is described later in this section.

When the file job creates a new file, the user permissions after the file job finishes.
