BIRT Exchange Forum: BIRT Exchange Forum -> BIRT Rocks!

A recent release of Actuate (version 11 sp2) now makes it possible to access BIRT content on mobile devices. This is made possible with all new iOS and Android based BIRT Mobile apps. Both are native apps and allows for BIRT content to be viewed on iPhone, iPad and Andriod Honeycomb tablet devices.

To view BIRT content on mobile, all you have to do is to install these apps and add subscription to your existing BIRT reports or reportlet (part of the BIRT report) in BIRT iServer as you see in this video. This will make your BIRT content available on the mobile device without requiring you to tweak the original BIRT design for mobile layout. While subscribing to BIRT content, you can also define report parameters if any and choose default settings for portrait or landscape form. The mobile viewer lets you browse most recent version of all available subscriptions, change report parameters and supports standard "pinch and zoom" controls.

You can download free evaluation copy of BIRT iServer here. BIRT Mobile apps are free and can be downloaded from iTunes and Andorid marketplace.
