Run a Birt Report on click of a Button

Hi,

I was asked this question by one of the visitor on my blog.

How do I run and view a report using bean class?

So, here is the way to execute any report on button click in maximo.

Tis method will be in a bean class and the mxevent value of that button will be runassetreport.

The only part which I think I need to explain in this is:

 

this.app.put(“runtype”, “BIRT”);
this.app.put(“appname”, “ASSET”);
this.app.put(“reportname”, “asset_detail.rptdesign”);
String pageName = “reportd” + “1010”;

Because this solution talks about a BIRT Report the runtype is BIRT.

Appname is ASSET cause I am running azn asset detail report and this number 1010 is the reportnum from Report table.

As I was just doing a proof of concept I have hardcoded these values but ideally you will be using Report Mbo to get the relevant values.

 

    public int runassetreport() throws MXException, RemoteException, IOException, ServletException
      {

        try
        {
            
        ReportAdminServiceRemote reportAdminServiceRemote = (ReportAdminServiceRemote)getMXSession().lookup(“BIRTREPORT”);
        int engineState = reportAdminServiceRemote.getReportEngineState();
        if (engineState == 2)
        {
          this.clientSession.showMessageBox(this.clientSession.getCurrentEvent(), “Reports Overloaded”, getMessage(“reports”, “previewoverload”), 2);

          return 1;
        }
        if (engineState == 1)
        {
          this.clientSession.showMessageBox(this.clientSession.getCurrentEvent(), “Zero Concurrent Run”, this.clientSession.getMaxMessage(“reports”, “zeroConcurrentRun”).getMessage(), 2);

          return 1;
        }
         
          this.app.put(“runtype”, “BIRT”);
          this.app.put(“appname”, “ASSET”);
          this.app.put(“reportname”, “asset_detail.rptdesign”);
          String pageName = “reportd” + “1010”;
          
          ControlHandler lookup = RequestHandler.findDialog(this.sessionContext, pageName);
          
          if (lookup == null)
          {
            
            String[] params1 = { pageName };
            Utility.showMessageBox(this.sessionContext.getCurrentEvent(), “reports”, “repappnoxml”, params1);
            return 1;
          }
          
          RequestHandler.showDialog(this.sessionContext, pageName);
        }
        catch (MXException e)
        {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return 1;
      }

 

A private util method to get the maxmessages used in the showMessageBox method:

private String getMessage(String msgGrp, String msgKey) throws RemoteException, MXException
      {
        return MXServer.getMXServer().getMaxMessageCache().getMessage(msgGrp, msgKey, this.sessionContext.getUserInfo()).getMessage();
      }

 

Enjoy….
