Create and Upload BIRT Report Definitions to CA Process Automation Services

You can create new BIRT reports and upload them to the Orchestrator so that they can be executed and viewed directly in the Reports tab. You can also allow other users to view such reports. To create a BIRT report, download the BIRT RCP Designer from the BIRT Official website at http://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads.

The BIRT RCP Designer can be used to edit an existing report or to create new report design files. See the BIRT RCP Designer documentation.

BIRT reports can be uploaded to a CA Process Automation Orchestrator and viewed later.
