Hi Guys, Could anybody let me know how i can generate one simple report per day. Static. It contains only some lists, not graphic charts and all. It should happen automatically on a specific time every day. I prefer open source, either Jasper or BIRT. I thank you in advance for ur help. Thanks, Saran.

Windward Reports is really easy to use and you can schedule reports using the Arrow.

No open source, but there's an express version: http://www.windwardreports.com/express.htm

Hi Saran, If you just want a simple BIRT report to run once a day, then I suggest you look at these two examples at BIRT Exchange. One is called 'Using the BIRT Report Engine API' at: http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=5&lid=32 and explains how to create a simple class to generate BIRT reports that are created in the BIRT designer. Another is called 'Batch Files to Schedule BIRT Reports' at: http://www.birt-exchange.com/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=2&lid=36 and explains a simple way to run that class with a batch file More advanced scheduling for BIRT reports is available with Actuate's iServer. If you're not already familiar with creating the BIRT report design, then poke around http://www.birt-exchange.com for awhile as there are other demos to watch there that will be helpful. Virgil

Hi Dodson and all, Thanks a lot for your detailed reply. Great. I dont want to Actute iServer since its licenced one. Im looking at opensource reporting stuff. I think BIRT will fill my expectation. Meanwhile can i go for CACHING? Reason is i m going to publish less amount of data ( may be 100 to 500) only in table format in HTML. No pdf or graph involved in my reqrmnt. Could you pls advice me on this. Regards, Saran.

Hi, I am using RAQ Report, a powerful reporting tool. I am glad to recommend RAQ Report to you, as I am sure that it will help you to do your jobs much more easily. It is a pure Java reporting tool, which is very simple for learning. I became skillful in it after only five classes, and I have used it for half a year. RAQ Report is a free Java reporting tool, and you can get it at http://www.raqsoft.com/.
