BIRT reports

MPF comes bundled with predefined BIRT reports, either as they are, or as templates to modify. Enabling the BIRT feature is redundant if you already use the MPF Operational Analytics.

The reports architecture diagram shows how the raw data feed comes from three devices into the MobileFirst Server and then into the MPF database, the Reports database, or both. From the Reports database, data then becomes aggregated data and is filtered out into the BIRT reports or to other reporting tools.

Important: When we work with report generation, update the .rptdesign file with the reports database user name and password, which are considered sensitive information. We are responsible for protecting it against unauthorized access.
