I implemented the example from docs of this plugin, but I have an exception stating that a parameter Initiator is missed. I don't see this parameter at all. My code is:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

IReportEngine engine = null;

config.setLogConfig("C:\\birtre\\", Level.FINE);
config.setResourcePath(resourcePath);

IReportEngineFactory factory = (IReportEngineFactory) Platform.createFactoryObject(IReportEngineFactory.EXTENSION_REPORT_ENGINE_FACTORY);
engine = factory.createReportEngine(config);
engine.changeLogLevel(Level.FINE);
IReportRunnable design = engine.openReportDesign(fs);
IRunAndRenderTask task = engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
CSVRenderOption csvOption = new CSVRenderOption();
String format = CSVRenderOption.OUTPUT_FORMAT_CSV;
csvOption.setOutputFormat(format);
csvOption.setOutputFileName("newBIRTcsv.csv");
csvOption.setShowDatatypeInSecondRow(true);
csvOption.setExportTableByName("SecondTable");
csvOption.setDelimiter("\t");
csvOption.setReplaceDelimiterInsideTextWith("-");
task.setRenderOption(csvOption);
task.setEmitterID("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.csv");
task.run();
task.close();
Platform.shutdown();
System.out.println("Report Generated Successfully!!");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
runReport();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I have an exception:
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.api.impl.ParameterValidationException: Required parameter Initiator is not set.

I tried to find this parameter in csvOption, but there is nothing like that. What am I doing wrong?
It is not a parameter of the emitter. This exception means a report parameter named "Initiator" is defined in the report "new_report_1.rptdesign", and its property "required" is checked.
For example edit the report design, disable "required" for this parameter and set a default value instead.
