Supported BIRT versions for HCL Compass
Describes the versions of the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) that can be used to create and deploy reports that use the HCL Compass Reporting Driver.
BIRT server runtime environment version support based on server configuration
To create and deploy BIRT reports that are used with the HCL Compass Reporting Driver, you must have the correct version of the BIRT Report Designer and BIRT server runtime environment installed and configured. You must also use a version of BIRT server runtime environment that is certified for use with the Compass Reporting Driver in the reporting environment that you are using.
To create and edit reports, be sure to use the correct version of the BIRT Report Designer for the target runtime environment.
For compatibility, the BIRT server runtime environment must be greater than or equal to the version of the BIRT Report Designer used to create or modify hosted reports.
