BIRT iServer Express Report Server



BIRT iServer Express is a BIRT report server that deploys, manages, schedules, secures, runs and distributes BIRT reports. It embeds the Eclipse BIRT Engine and Java APIs.  It is compatible with reports developed with any BIRT Designer including BIRT Studio.  It also works with the BIRT Viewer and BIRT Interactive Viewer. It can be deployed as a stand-alone report server or as a behind-the-scenes reporting service for other applications.



Features Overview

It can be installed and configured in less than an hour. A download is available for a trial evaluation.

Scheduling & Distribution
BIRT iServer Express allows end users to easily schedule their own reports and administrators to access advanced scheduling options based on a combination of events, business rules and calendars.

Security
BIRT iServer Express provides hierarchal role-based security with multi-level access permissions. A security model can be implemented stand-alone within BIRT iServer Express or integrated with external directory services and single sign-on systems.

Integration
BIRT iServer Express offers integration options to adapt the look and feel of reports, provide services to other applications and leverage existing infrastructure via editable JSPs, URL-based API's, and Web Service APIs.  JavaScript API's allow for reports delivered through the server to be integrated in web applications, dashboards and mashups.

Data Access
BIRT iServer Express supports the same data sources as all of the BIRT Designers. Optional products exist to add a metadata layer to hide data structure and complexity from end users and to integrate data from disparate data sources in real time.

Administration
BIRT iServer Express includes a web-based administrative interface to access utilities for system monitoring, availability, recovery and report management. An administrator can also automate tasks via command line utilities or a complete web services API.

Localization and i18n
Internationalization capabilities are included in BIRT iServer Express that accommodate different languages, cultural contexts, data formats and time zones. A single BIRT report server can automatically deliver the report server UI and its reports in multiple languages.
