Continuing my journey into BIRT Reporting I install the iServer Express, find an excellent online guide and follow it to view reports, modify reports and save the modified versions in my own user area on the iServer.

 

It’s only been a few weeks since I first saw BIRT in action and in only a limited amount of time I have found that I was able to easily get started with the Open Source (free of charge) version and then moved on to compare some of the differences with the Actuate commercial version.

 

During this time I noticed that Actuate had BIRT extension products which allow the user to design their own reports over the web, manage their reports, view reports created by others and make modifications to those reports at runtime. In this short report I take a look at two of those components, the iServerExpress and the BIRT Interactive viewer. Having been able to easily create and run reports using the open source products I was a little confused as to what else the additional product. Here are the main topics covered...
