Description James Y. Zhu CLA 2010-05-25 09:47:04 EDT 
Does the latest BIRT engine allow users to merge different report designs into  into a single report?
 
For example, a developing team developed a few indivisdual reports like:
 
Developer A has partA.rptdesign
Developer B has partB.rptdesign
Developer C has partC.rptdesign
 
And we can render all of these designs in one short, and eventually, it just generates one report, and the right pagination will be set accordingly.
 
Thanks,
Yong

Instead of asking ENGINE to run multiple designs into one report, I think it is better to merge the designs into one design and use the merged design.

MODEL API can be used to implement the merge utility.
