Customizing BIRT reports
Customizing BIRT reports is not a beginner-level activity. It requires an understanding of database operation and design, SQL syntax, and report design with Eclipse BIRT Report Designer. OpenText recommends that you have Professional Services assist you with your custom reports.
To customize a Application Security BIRT report:
Acquire a supported version of Eclipse BIRT Report Designer (Report Designer).
For information about downloading Eclipse BIRT Report Designer, see Acquiring the BIRT Report Designer.
Load a Application Security report definition into Report Designer.
You typically first export a report definition from Application Security, and then upload that report definition into Report Designer. For information about how to export a Application Security report definition, see Downloading report templates.
Connect Report Designer to a running instance of the Application Security database.
Connecting Report Designer to the Application Security database enables you to load and verify the database queries you add to a BIRT report.
Use the Report Designer to add report design elements to the report definition, and add database queries to those design elements.
Use a local instance of Application Security to test the operation of a customized BIRT report.
Import the customized report definition into Application Security.
