This tutorial has been created with the version Alfresco 2.9B.

We have been create an AMP file with all necessary files :

• BIRT Runtime : 2.2.1.1
• IReport : 2.0.4
• iText : 2.0.8
• Enterprise Report Services : 1.0 RC2

You can download this file : here !

External Integration

You can directly integrate the AMP package in your alfresco installation, outside alfresco.war. It may be a bad solution but in a few cases, it can save you some time. So, here we go :

• just unzip the reporting.amp
• copy web/* in tomcat/webapps/alfresco
• copy lib/* in tomcat/webapps/WEB-INF/lib
• copy config/* in tomcat/webapps/WEB-INF/classes

AMP Integration

You can use the MMT (Module Management Tool) provided by Alfresco.

The module management tool (MMT) helps manage AMP (Alfresco Module Package) modules installed in a standard Alfresco WAR file. The module management tool supports the following: installation of AMP modules including upgrades to later versions, enabling and disabling of installed modules, de-install of installed modules and listing of currently installed modules. AMP Modules are packaged and installed as AMP files. An AMP File relates to a specific module and version. During the installation of an AMP the module and version are taken into consideration.
