Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 I am using the BIRT runtime 2.6.2 to generate excel files, but after generation the birt_xls_* temporary files aren't removed. I think the problem was introduced between version 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 by changing code in class org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.excel.ExcelWriter from public void end( ) throws IOException { writer.end( ); if ( tempFilePath != null ) { File file = new File( tempFilePath ); if ( file.exists( ) && file.isFile( ) ) { file.delete( ); } } } to public void end( ) throws IOException { writer.end( ); } Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. generate excel reports using BIRT runtime 2.6.2 2. go to the temp folder (defined by EngineConfig.setTempDir(tempFolder)) 3. the temporary files (prefixed by "birt_xls_") aren't removed
I forgot to mention in my bug report that I rebuilt the source code of Birt 2.6.2 after reverting to public void end( ) throws IOException { writer.end( ); if ( tempFilePath != null ) { File file = new File( tempFilePath ); if ( file.exists( ) && file.isFile( ) ) { file.delete( ); } } } After that, temporary files were correctly removed again.
Temporary file removed after using

Hi, I am new to birt. Can you please explain how can I change change temp directory location? My application generates flat text files, birt generates excel files from these flat files. I have created one environment variable MY_TEMP and gave it's value as 'D:\my_temp'. Now I want birt to use this folder to store all temporary files.

Hi, you should look around on the net, you will find a lot of documentation and examples : EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig(); config.setTempDir(MY_TEMP); (In reply to comment #5) > Hi, > I am new to birt.
