Information object files must reside in a project’s Shared Resources folder. By default, a project’s Shared Resources folder is the project folder. If the Shared Resources folder is not the project folder, you must copy information object files to the Shared Resources folder before publishing. To check the location of the Shared Resources folder, choose Window➛Preferences➛Actuate BIRT ➛Resource.
When you publish information object files to a volume, the files are published to the IO Designs folder in the volume’s resource folder. The resource folder’s default location is /Resources. You must have write privilege on the resource folder.
