Hi
SpagoBI 5.1 comes with Birt 4.2.2 but current SVN repository was updated to Birt 4.4.2, therefore you can try checking out the Birt engine source code and compiling it with ant or Eclipse.
As an alternative, since compiling from source code may be difficult, you can try just updating the jar dependencies within WEB-INF/lib and Javascript resources.

Is it possible to run client side javascript with birt reports and SpagoBI 5.1, or we should use a standalone birt reports server?
Not within SpagoBI 5.1 but with current SVN source code

Is there a way to update the birt reports version in SpagoBI 5.1?
When updating the engine, you have to update jar dependencies and other static resources, but you have also to check for API retrocompatibility, since engine source code may not compile anymore. Upgrading to Birt 4.4.2 shouldn't require any change in the engine source code since SpagoBI 5.1.

Thanks and best regards
Davide

hi,

thanks!

although we don't understand the specifics (API retrocompatibility? ), we
followed the step to replace the lib folder with the one of the svn.

however we get the error shown below.

how can we proceed?

best,

Hi
I suppose you removed also libraries:
1. sbi.utils.json-XXX.jar
2. sbi.utils-XXX.jar
3. qbe.core-XXX.jar
that are required dependencies.
Restore them from the previous installation.
Please pay attention to the fact that you should also update also static resources: copy the content of the folder SpagoBIBirtReportEngine/WebContent from our SVN inside All-in-one-home/webapps/SpagoBIBirtReportEngine
Hope this helps
Best regards
Davide

Hi
could you please provide any feedback on this thread?
Thanks and best regards
Davide
