| Description: | Create, Design, Format, and Deploy Reports with the world s most popular Eclipse-based Business Intelligence and Reporting ToolKey FeaturesDesign, manage, format, and deploy high-quality reportsCrosstab reports using the new BIRT cube designerTransform raw data into visual and interactive reportsIncludes a case study (Building Reports for Bugzilla) at the end along with a real-world example that runs throughout the bookBook DescriptionBIRT is an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for web applications based on Java and Java EE. To address a wide range of reporting needs within a typical application, ranging from operational or enterprise reporting to multi-dimensional online analytical processing (OLAP), you need to know BIRT from head to toe. If you wish to start making reports easily and quickly, and also want to be up-to-date with the latest developments in BIRT, then this book is for you. It will guide you from scratch to develop reports using the Eclipse BIRT project. You will learn how to connect to data, use report items to display and format data, and use scripting to build advanced reports and charts.The book steers you through each step of report setup, to creating, designing, formatting, and deploying reports with data from a wide range of data sources. Its focus is on familiarizing you with the most visible and familiar product built with the BIRT framework – the BIRT Report Designer. It starts by introducing the concepts of business intelligence and open source software, and different installation methods. It will introduce you to the various visual report elements that can be used to design BIRT reports, such as the Palette and Grid components. You will learn the details of the data components of BIRT (the Data Source and the Data Set), different types of source data that BIRT supports such as XML files, flat text files, and databases, and the creation of all of the elements while connecting to Data Sources in reports and Report Projects. By the end of the book, you will be able to enhance the presentation of your report using Charts, Hyperlinks, and Drill Through. You will also be able to take advantage of the scripting capabilities that BIRT has to offer with Expressions and Event Handlers and successfully deploy BIRT reports.The book includes a case study at the end along with a real-world example that runs throughout the book.What you will learnInstall and set up a BIRT environmentCreate structured reports and add visual report elementsWork with data from JDBC, XML, flat files, and web servicesFilter down data to just the information you needCreate cross-tab reports using the new BIRT cube designerCreate a shared development environment using librariesUse style sheets and themes in report designsUse and create Templates for rapid development of similar reportsEverything you need to work with BIRT s chart engineLearn to script in BIRT to add business logic, manipulate report elements, and handle eventsDeploy BIRT reports with the BIRT Viewer and Report Engine APIWho this book is forIf you are a Java developer and want to create rich reports using BIRT, then this book is for you. You will need a basic understanding of SQL to follow along. |
