Installing BIRT Viewer server and BIRT report designer

Installing BIRT Viewer server and BIRT report designer

11:46 AM 20 Comments A+ a-

If you want to use BIRT reporting as alternative to Microsoft SSRS you can easily do it by instaling BIRT on any linux distro. There are several tricks you have to do before everything will be fine. We will show you how to install BIRT Eclipse designer, BIRT Runtime server with apache 2 and tomcat 7 and how to add mysql JDBC driver to Eclipse so you can add dataset to BIRT reports and connect to data.

First you must download Eclipse IDE, you can download it from here:http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/

Choose All in one
On the same page you can download BIRT runtime, runtime is important because apache and tomcat use birt runtime to run your reports like SSRS and it is like BIRT Report Viewer.
Here is link(I recommend you to go to main web page and download latest): http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/birt/downloads/drops/R-R1-4_2_1-201209181113/birt-runtime-4_2_1.zip


Also download Latest BIRT Runtime



After you download package extract it somewhere on your disk so you can easily access it later.

Now download MySQL JDBC driver for Eclipse and Java so you can make connection to MySql database. Here is link: https://www.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

Download JDBC MySQL driver


Now install apache2 and tomcat7 on your Linux distro. Here we use Ubuntu derivate Lubuntu 12.10. But the same thing is for Mint, Snow, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubvuntu Server and versions Ubuntu 10.10 , Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu, 11.04, Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.10....

Installing in Synaptic






When you finished installing apache and tomcat you must configure it.
Open /etc/tomcat7 folder and open file tomcat-users.xml with root permisions.





Open it in some text editor, remmember that you must be root to edit this file!
Uncomment lines on botton and add selected roles to your user.
In file tomcat-users.xml go to bottom and you will see default users config commented. Uncoment it , add your users and add roles to your admin user. Add this roles: manager-gui, manager-script, manager-jmx, manager-status.

Then restart tomcat. Enter command: sudo service tomcat7 restart


Now go to http://localhost:8080/manager/html and enter password you entered in tomcat-users.xml file. DON'T enter localhost instead localhost:8080 because tomcat runs only on localhost:8080. You can change that later of course but that is default. 

Click "Choose File"

Choose birt.war in folder of BIRT runtime
Then click "Deploy" to deploy BIRT Viewer nad make it active.


You can see BIRT installed when you refresh localhost:8080/manager/html

Copy WebViewerExample to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT

When you copy WebViewerExample to /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/ROOT, RENAME folder  to birt.



Now open http://localhost:8080/birt and then click View Example. It should display you something like this:
BIRT Report Example


























Now open Eclipse from the location where you extracted it, you don't have to install it , just run the file eclipse. After that Go to File-> New->Other...


Choose Bussines Intelligence and Reporting Tools , and then Report Project











Click on button in right upper corner

Choose MySQL JDBC Driver Version 5.1
Click "Edit JAR/Zip"

Choose mysql-connector-java you downloaded and extracted previously at begining of this tutorial


Set connection string to database


.... now design report and enjoy :)

Hi There,

In debt to you for making my learning on the Linux migration tutorials area so hassle-free! I lay my faith on your writings.
I recently encountered Linux Ubuntu and I am in love! I also love how much helpful information there is out there, and how helpful the community is out there as well!
Now here's the problem: I format a partition using Ubuntu, I install Ubuntu onto that partition, Ubuntu tells me that it's been successfully installed. However, when I re-boot, it won't boot from HDD.
I am so grateful for your blog. Really looking forward to read more.

MuchasGracias,
Preethi.

Nice Post!
Simply enact the YouTube on Roku gadgets which is truly basic as it just builds up a couple of moment’s minutes to the arrangement. On the off chance that you need to initiate YouTube on the screen simply sign in to the record from youtube.com/activate. You will sign in to the record from YouTube.com/activate and enter a digit to the Roku interface.
