OpenReports - BIRT Integration - README
---------------------------------------

Starting with OpenReports 2.1-M1, the Eclipse BIRT reporting system is
integrated into OpenReports. This integration allows you to run and 
schedule BIRT reports through the OpenReports interface.

--------------------
** Image Cleanup **
--------------------
  
When exporting reports to HTML, the BIRT engine will create temporary
image files in your 'reports/images/temp' directory. The Image Cleanup
tab on the Administration Settings page provides the ability to delete
these files.

--------------------
  **** Notes ****
--------------------

- OpenReports will override the datasource properties contained in your
  .rptdesign files if the datasource name matches the name of an existing
  OpenReports datasource.
 
- If you are experiencing Out of Memory errors when running BIRT 
  reports, try increasing the maximum heap size allocated by Java to 
  your application server.
  
- You must place the JDBC drivers for all databases you are using with BIRT in 
  the following directory:
  
  openreports/WebRoot/WEB-INF/platform/plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_2.3.2.r232_v20090212/drivers
