BIRT Exchange Forum: BIRT Exchange Forum -> Publishing reports to BIRT onDemand made easy!

The latest release of Actuate makes it possible to publish your reports to BIRT onDemand directly from BIRT Designer. In addition to easy deployment you could now even browse and download deployed content from you onDemand Account. You no longer need to install any custom plugin to your BIRT Designer since the existing iServer Explorer plugin has been enhanced to support this new feature. This enhancement comes in the form of a "Profile Type" dropdown selection that enables you to choose between a onDemand or in-premise instance of BIRT iServer.


To publish content to BIRT onDemand you would follow the same simple procedure as you used to before starting out with defining a new profile. Here you will need to specify web service URL, login credentials and server/volume information. Once the profile is established you can use simple drag and drop operations to export content from designer. Here is a video that goes over the entire process.
