Re-implement BIRT Module - Requirements

[Michael Aro]

Hi Dev,

Based on recent discussions on the requirements for the re-implementation of the BIRT module, the following set of requirements have been defined as well as a design to meet some of these requirements.

This is a summary of the proposed work on the birt module:

• Provide the mechanism for mapping of data via a single data set or multiple data sets to a single report for presentation.
• Allow BIRT rendering into different formats based on BIRT report designs for different options.
• Allow publishing options.
• Provide published pages.
• Allow previewing report before saving to OpenMRS database.
• Allow searching, filtering and pagination of reports within the table of all reports.
  
• Reporting web services.

Looking forward to your comments.

Best regards, Michael.

Hi Michael,

I think we may need to think more about the approach, given the work you outline below.  It looks to me like you are re-implementing many features that the reporting module is already providing, whereas the primary purpose of your project should be to integrate BIRT reports into the reporting module.  I will provide more specific comments on the design page you link to below.

Cheers,
Mike
