Report Birt
===========
This is a BIRT Report module for OpenERP. It's a very early alpha.
Fairly simple and small, It covers:
- connection to birt-viewer web server to request reports
- configurable URL parameters
So you can easily use BIRT as report engine in OpenERP.
Acknowledgements
----------------
Many thanks to `CARIF-OREF La Réunion`_ which has funded the near entirety of
the developpement of this code.
.. _CARIF-OREF La Réunion: http://www.cariforef-reunion.net/
Requirements
------------
Was tested successfully with:
- OpenERP 6.0.3
- OpenERP 6.1
- OpenERP 7.0
``report_birt`` needs the python ``requests`` module (`Requests: HTTP for Humans`_)
to be installed. You could install it with::
pip install requests
.. _requests\: http for humans: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/index.html
Then, you'll need a running instance of ``birt-viewer`` of course.
You can download it here:
http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/
You are looking for the ``birt-runtime`` which contains a ``birt-viewer.war``
that you can install on a running tomcat server as a webapp.
Then you'll need a report from BIRT. This report should use some URL
parameters, these will be fed by OpenERP.
Installation
------------
Don't forget to run the ``./autogen.sh`` to set the module version and compute
the Changelog.
Install as any OpenERP module.
Usage
-----
1. Ensure that you are are an OpenERP administrator with Extended Interface.
2. Then go to the "Settings" Tab,
3. And in the left menu, follow Customization / Low Level Objects / Actions / Reports
4. You can create a new report, in the ``Report Type`` input write the string ``birt``,
then quit this field. A new tab named ``Birt`` should appear.
A common configuration could be::
Birt Url: http://127.0.0.1:8080/birt-viewer
Report file: myreport.rptdesign
Output format: pdf
Then in the parameters, you could send parameters which would be evaled by
OpenERP python.
