Designing Custom Reports
TIBCO Business Studio allows you to create your own custom reports with the Eclipse Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT). BIRT is an open source, Eclipse-based reporting system that allows you to produce HTML and PDF reports.
The reports displayed in the Compare Simulation Results View are examples of BIRT reports provided by TIBCO.
BIRT is provided with TIBCO Business Studio, and you can use it to design and run your report. For more information refer to the Eclipse BIRT documentation. When you design your report, make sure to use .sim files as a data source (.sim files are XML files that contain the results of simulation comparison in TIBCO Business Studio).
This section describes how to create a new BIRT report for use in the Compare Simulation Results editor. This report is a simple table. To create the report follow these steps:
- Obtaining a Data Source
- Creating a New Report
- Creating the Data Source
- Create the Data Set
- Creating the Report Parameters
- Creating a Table to Display the Data
- Importing the Report
For more information about the different types of reports that you can create, refer to the Eclipse BIRT documentation.
