Report Design perspective
The Report Design perspective allows developers to design and develop report templates using the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) framework, which is an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for Web applications, especially those based on Java and Java EE.

The BIRT system also includes a runtime component to process these reports, which can be added to an Application Server. The Reports Designer editor provides the facility to layout the fields on the report template and to map these fields with data from XML schemas, Web Services, flat files, or database definitions and to test them within RAD v7.5.
For more information about using Rational Application Developer for generating reports with BIRT, see the Help or visit the following link, which is a reference to the Eclipse project for providing the functionality of this perspective:
