Alfresco Birt Issues!!

[nh]

Hi,

We have integrated the Birt engine in our alfresco implementation.
We are designing the birt design files exteranally and uiploading it in alfresco.

We are able to "Execute Report" and see the preview.
However, when we select the option of output file and destination directory we are getting this error..

Hi,

The reason for this is simple. The ASPECT_UIFACETS moved from ContentModel to ApplicationModel with the release of 2.0. If you are using Alfresco 2.0 then you should use the latest release candidate of Enterprise report services. If you are using an Alresco version prior to 2.0 then you should actually use RC1 release of Enterprise Report Services.

If you are building reports for Alfresco, can you contribute these reports to our project? We are currently working on building Alfresco reports. If it is appropriate we would like to include Alfresco reports with the next release.

Gonenc ,
Thanks for the reply…


I tried to fish out for the latest version of the enterprise report release but cudnt find one. seems we might have to live with the error until the new compatible version is released. Or could you please let me knw whether the 2.0 update of the report is out and where could i get it?

Do we have a work around??

Please help.

NH

P.S : We are working on the reports and if everything falls in place and we have a decent working model of the reports, we would certainly contribute to Alfresco reports.
