Hello,

It's pretty simple
1) Download and install Apache Open Office 3.4 or lower.
2) Go to your openERP -> Settings -> Apps -> Find OpenOffice Report Designer(base_report_designer) and follow the instructions there. It will give you link to a archive with Open Office plugin that you have to install in your Open Office. The plugin has instructions how it should be done.
3) After you've done 1 & 2 go to Open Office Writer -> From main menu OpenERP Report Designer -> Connect to server
4) When you are connected to your openERP server from Open Office you can use "Modify existing report" and open the report you need...

Regards,
Pavel Pavlov

Pavel Pavolv thanks for your answer.but i am using openoffice 3.4.1 and when i click to openerp report designer and on server parameters it doesn't response please help me in this why is it happening ?

Pavel Pavlov

Hi, this is for sure not normal. What OS are you using? What version of openERP? I had simillar problem with Debian + openERP 8(trunk), but then I rolled back to Windows + v7 and it was not happening any more...

Visit the links.

Jasper Reports

Reporting

For converting an SXW to RML do the following

Open a terminal, then Navigate to the report folder in your module and execute the following:

gopakumar@gopakumar-desktop:~/Workspace/Project/openerp/addons/module_name/report$ python openerp_sxw2rml.py name_of_sxw_file.sxw > name_of_rml_2b_generated.rml

Before this you have to copy the openerp_sxw2rml.py file from module /base_report_designer/openerp_sxw2rml to your module's report folder.
