BIRT reporting exception on postgreSQL DB - postgresql

Question

I designed the report design file (test_report.rptdesign ) on BIRT report designer. I can see the report by clicking " View report in web viewer" on BIRT report designer. But, when I try to see the report with TOMCAT , there is "There is no report design object available " error.
The TOMCAT and "BIRT VIEWER" is configured correctly. I put the "BIRT VIEWER filse under "C:\xampp\tomcat\webapps" folder. And I have correctly configured the "\birt-viewer\WEB-INF\web.xml" file . I tried the sample reports (customers.rptdesign,TopNPercent.rptdesign) on TOMCAT server, it works correctly.
But,when I tried with postgreSQL , it didn't work, there is exception. I put the "test_report.rptdesign " file under "C:\xampp\tomcat\webapps\brt-example\report" folder. could you give me some suggesstion,please ?
the error message is as follows:
There is no report design object available.
org.eclipse.birt.report.exception.ViewerException: There is no report design object available.

Answer 1

I finally solved this problem by editing the following line in Eclipse "XML Source" tab:
<report xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/birt/2005/design" version="3.2.23" id="1">
All I had to do was to change version from 3.2.23 to 3.2.10. You can do that by editing the *.rptdesign file directly in notepad.

Answer 2

In my case, it was cause by the SFTP transfer I was doing: binary (default with filezilla as I guess it interpret the .rptdesign as a binary) instead of ASCII
