RE: [birt-dev] Memory usage ballons.

Hello,

I too faced the same problem with the newer version of BIRT. Though I am not using a server, the memory consumption is high and the application fails after throwing "Heap Space: Out of Memory error".

I have reported the same through Bugzilla (Bug - 295560).

If anybody of you have found a solution, pls let me know.

Subject: [birt-dev] Memory usage ballons.

Hello all, I've been looking through bugzilla and the mail archives
but could not find a clear answer to my problem. One of our developers
few months back installed 2.5.0 and migrated all our BIRT reports to
this version. Everything else on the server stayed the same. Ever
since installing this newer version of BIRT memory seems to ballon up,
within few days, to 100% and tomcat will stop working.

Memory usage is at 50% right now, we have 4G on this machine, but will
ballon up to 100% percent within a few days. Can't figure out what
would cause memory consumption to be so high besides perhaps memory
not being freed after use.

Anyone on here come across a similar problem? All replies are greatly
appreciated.

My tomcat -Xms256m -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m flags just in case
they have some impact to memory consumption.

Hello Dhinesh,

The best thing to do is to log a Bugzilla bug and attach a report design that can help us reproduce your issue. BIRT developers will look into this.

Thanks,

Gary

Subject: [birt-dev] Performance Issue

Hi Folks,

Have a good day…..

I am a BIRT developer and using the version 3.5.

As part of my testing, I was generating the report which had 40,000 rows in the dataset. While BIRT was trying to create the report, it throwed "Heap Space: Out of memory error" and the execution was stopped.

My machine details are 1.5GB RAM and 40GB HDD, P4-3.0.0Ghz.

Due to this problem, I was not able to generate the reports.

Could any one of you pls give me a useful suggesstion to improve the performance and generate the reports with ease.

RE: [birt-dev] Drop Down Column in Excel report using BIRT

pclenahan@xxxxxxx (Paul Clenahan) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:24:27 GMT

Dhinesh,

There is no such capability for controlling the Excel output from BIRT to this extent. However, if you are looking at automating the creation of highly functional native Excel spreadsheets, you might want to take a look at Actuate's BIRT Spreadsheet product. It's a commercial product that is focused exactly on this type of problem.

You can get more information here: http://www.actuate.com/products/spreadsheets/, and download a free Designer product from here: http://www.actuate.com/products/spreadsheets/spreadsheet-report-designer/how-to-buy/.

Regards,

Paul.

Subject: [birt-dev] Drop Down Column in Excel report using BIRT

Hi Folks,

Have a great day..

I need your help with regard to creating a drop-down column in Excel report.

I want to create a drop down only for Excel which should contain the pre-defined values like "Yes" or "No". The user should be able to select any one of these values.

Is there any option to bring this Excel feature in Excel reports generated by BIRT?

Kindly contact me if you did not understood the problem.

Awaiting your favorable responses.

[birt-dev] Project meta data is out of date for birt

emo@xxxxxxx (portal on behalf of emo) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:00:18 GMT

Wenfeng,
Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* The date for release "2.0" uses the no-longer-supported mm/yyyy date
format (1/2006). Please use MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. If you are unsure of
the date, we recommend you use the last date of the month.
* The date for release "2.3.0" is in the past, but the release is not
marked as completed. If it is completed, it should be marked as completed;
if it has been postponed, it should be given a new target date.
* There is no next/future release of this project. All Eclipse projects
must have a "next release" planned and scheduled.

Re: [birt-dev] Separate Reports in BIRT

vpetry@xxxxxxx (Petry Vincent) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:06:30 GMT

Hello,

You can add two report parameters "startrecord" and "endrecord" and make your report design filter by record number / row number.
Then you can generate different report documents by specifying parameter values like startrecord=1, endrecord=1000 for the first one, startrecord=1001, endrecord=2000 for the second one, etc, and save the report document using different names.

Thanks,

My application necessitates that each 1000 records be grouped together to one
report. Like, when the user clicks on a button to generate report and
suppose there are totally 10,000 records to be displayed in the report, it
must produce 10 separate reports, with 1-1000 records in 1st report,
1001-2000 in the second report and so on.

Is such a provision available in BIRT?
