Configuring Actuate BIRT Viewer using web.xml

Actuate BIRT Interactive Viewer (IV) parameters in web.xml affect how BIRT reports are run and viewed. Table 12-2 describes these configuration parameters for BIRT reports, BIRT Viewer, and Interactive Viewer.

Table 12-2

Actuate BIRT Viewer web.xml parameters

Parameter name	Description
ALLOW_EXPORT_PAGE_ LIMIT	Indicates the maximum number of pages that can be exported or printed at a time from Actuate BIRT Viewer. For example, if the value of this parameter is 200, no more than 200 pages will be exported or printed from a report using the viewer.
ALLOW_IV_PAGE_LIMIT	Specifies whether Information Console checks for a page limit before triggering an operation.
AUTOSUGGEST_DELAY	Configure the delay before the parameters page opens an automatic suggestion for a parameter. The value is measured in milliseconds, and the default value is 500.
AUTOSUGGEST_FETCH_ SIZE	The number of autosuggest parameter values to load on the parameters page. The default value is -1, which loads all values.
AUTOSUGGEST_LIST_ SIZE	The number of autosuggest parameter values to display on the Parameters page when active. If more values exist than are displayed, the user can scroll through the other values. The default value is 10.
BIRT_ARCHIVE_ MEMORY_TOTALSIZE	The total memory available for BIRT report document files, in kilobytes. The default value is 50 megabytes.
BIRT_CHART_MAX_ROW	The maximum number of rows bound to a chart in a BIRT report. The default value is 10000 rows.
BIRT_CHART_MAX_ VARIABLE_SIZE	The maximum size for a variable used in a Flash chart, measured in bytes. The default value is 0, which allows a variable to be of any size.
BIRT_CUBE_FETCH_ LIMIT_COLUMN_EDGE	The maximum column limit for accessing a data cube. The value must be a non-negative integer; 0 indicates no limit.
BIRT_CUBE_FETCH_ LIMIT_ROW_EDGE	The maximum row limit for accessing a data cube. The value must be a non-negative integer; 0 indicates no limit.
BIRT_DATA_RESULTSET_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE	The result set buffer size, in megabytes, for a data set in a BIRT report. The default value is 10 megabytes.
BIRT_ HTMLRENDEROPTION_ ENGCASSTYLE	Enables the agentStyleEngine property for the HTML render option for a BIRT report. This setting is related to using a browser’s internal CSS capabilities when rendering reports in HTML. It provides better column alignment and faster rendering, especially in a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer. The default value is true.
BIRT_JDBC_ CONNECTION_POOL_ SIZE	Specifies the number of idle connections cached by BIRT JDBC connection pool. The default value is 10.
BIRT_JDBC_ CONNECTION_POOL_ TIMEOUT	Specifies how long an idle connection will remain in the BIRT JDBC connection pool in seconds. The default value is 3600.
BIRT_RESOURCE_PATH	The path to Actuate BIRT shared resources, including libraries and templates for the BIRT report designs and BIRT Studio. The default value is <context root>\resources.
BIRT_SCRIPT_LIB_PATH	Path for the BIRT script libraries (JARs). The default value is <context root>\scriptlib.
BIRT_VIEWER_LOCALE	Locale that determines formatting for numbers and dates on BIRT reports. The default value is the locale of the machine on which Information Console is installed.
CACHE_CONTROL	Specifies how a web browser caches information using one of the following values: NO-CACHE indicates that the browser does not cache information and forwards all requests to the server. With NO-CACHE, the back and forward buttons in a browser do not always produce expected results, because choosing these buttons always reloads the page from the server. If multiple users access Information Console from the same machine, they can view the same cached data. Setting CACHE_CONTROL to NO-CACHE prevents different users viewing data cached by the browser. NO-STORE indicates that information is cached but not archived. PRIVATE indicates that the information is for a single user and that only a private cache can cache this information. A proxy server does not cache a page with this setting. PUBLIC indicates that information may be cached, even if it would normally be non-cacheable or cacheable only within an unshared cache. UNSET (no value) is the default value. The browser uses its own default setting when there is no CACHE_CONTROL value. Caching information reduces the number of server requests that the browser must make and the frequency of expired page messages. Caching increases security risks because of the availability of information in the cache. For additional information about cache control, see the HTTP/1.1 specifications.
DEFAULT_LOCALE	The default locale. The default locale is en_US. Users can select a locale when they log in.
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE	The default time zone. The default time zone is Pacific Standard Time (PST).
DEFAULT_WORKGROUP_FUNCTIONALITY_ROLE	Specifies the functionality role for all users using BIRT Viewer. The default value is Active Portal Intermediate.
EXPORT_AS_ ATTACHMENT	Determines whether a Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, or Word report for BIRT Viewer is opened in the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser or a separate application. When the value is true, the exported report opens in a separate Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel application.
EXPORT_AS_ ATTACHMENT                    (continued)	When the value is false, the exported report opens in the browser window with Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Excel embedded inside the browser. The Firefox browser always opens these report formats in a separate application.
IV_ENABLE_IV	Determines whether the Enable Interactivity option is usable in the BIRT Viewer control menu. If false, the Enable Interactivity option is disabled.
JAVA_REPORT_API_ IMAGE_CACHE_ EXPIRATION	Specifies how long in seconds to cache images for Actuate BIRT reports and business reports. The default value is 86,400, which is one day.
JREM_TASK_QUEUE_SIZE	Specifies the maximum queue length for the Java Report Engine thread pool. The default value is 1000.
JREM_THREAD_POOL_ SIZE	Specifies the maximum number of threads in the Java Report Engine thread pool. The default value is 10.
JREM_THREADPOOL_ MAXSYNC_ TASKRUNTIME	Specifies the maximum time a synchronous report generation is allowed to run. The default value is 600.
JREM_THREADPOOL_ MONITORTHREAD_ POLLINGINTERVAL	Controls the interval in seconds at which the Java Report Engine thread pool checks for Java report execution time-out or queue time-out. The default value is 30.
JREM_THREADPOOL_ SYNC_TASKQUEUE_ TIMEOUT	Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that a Java synchronous request stays in the Java Report Engine task queue before timing out, in seconds. The default value is 300.
NUMBER_OF_FILTER_ VALUES	Specifies the number of distinct values to display when a user chooses to filter a report on a column in BIRT Viewer. The default value is 200.
DEFAULT_COLUMN_ PAGE_BREAK_INTERVAL	Specifies the number of columns to display on one page when viewing a cross tab. Must be a non-negative number. Default value is 10.
DEFAULT_PAGE_BREAK_INTERVAL	Specifies the number of rows to display in one page when viewing a report. If set to 0, there are no page breaks.
DEFAULT_ROW_PAGE_ BREAK_INTERVAL	Specifies the number of rows to display on one page when viewing a cross tab. Must be a non-negative number. Default value is 40.
PROXY_BASEURL	Indicates a proxy server’s URL if the network uses one between the BIRT Viewer web application and the client. The default value is blank, which indicates that the network does not use a proxy server.
REPOSITORY_CACHE_ TIMEOUT_SEC	Specifies, in seconds, how long to retain temporary files that BIRT Viewer creates when a user modifies the appearance of a report. The default value is 900, which is 15 minutes.
TEMP_FOLDER_ LOCATION	Path to the folder where temporary files are created.
