Hello Community,
Wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year 2012 in advance. I'm sure that the coming year will witness a lot of progress in BIRT.
Now, as we are moving ahead year by year, BIRT also has gained immense popularity amongst different sections of people, ranging from a developer to the executive level. Developers like BIRT as it is very flexible, extensible and integrable. While people at the executive level like BIRT because of its rich dash-boarding capabilities and interactivity.
One instance of BIRT's popularity can be understood by looking at the growing number of publications made on BIRT and also by observing new Q&A forums on BIRT.
My intention of writing this post apart from the new year wishes is to introduce you all to a new site on BIRT. BIRT-talk is a Q&A forum on BIRT just like the BIRT-Exchange. Though the site is limited only with Q&A unlike BIRT-Exchange where we have DevShare and blogs, I find the look and feel very appealing and intuitive.
Now as a member of the community, we can help each other by getting ourselves associated with it. We can ask questions, answer the ones that we know and so on.
So here's the site BIRT-talk.com. Go through it and share your questions as a comment to this blog.
Best Regards

Custom ODA to use Microsoft Excel files as data source

Hello Community,
A custom ODA plugin for eclipse BIRT that supports using Microsoft excel files (xls, xlsx) as data source, has been developed and hosted at eclipse labs.
The user interface for configuration is simple and intuitive and is at par with the Flatfile ODA.
The ODA can read data from multiple worksheets in the excel workbook (similar data of course). To make the ODA read from multiple sheets, the data set property Worksheets has to supplied with semi colon (;) delimited sheet names.
Note: The control information like the header, and type names should be only on the first sheet passed in the sequence. Control information (if any) in other sheets might be considered as data and might cause type inconsistency.
More information about the plugin and the deployment instructions can be found at the DevShare.
Feel free to evaluate and leave a feedback.
