I'm missing something that I suspect must be obvious. Using the report
engine API, I have no problem running and rendering a report. I also see
calls to find out all kinds of information about report parameters through
the IGetParameterDefinitionTask. What I don't see is the mechanism for
setting a parameter.
Let's say I schedule a report to run every Sunday night to calculate the
past week's activity. In my scheduler code (Java), I know the start and
end times, which I want to map to '?' parameters in my SQL. What chain of
events has to happen?

Phillip,
In the report engine api the run task and the runandrendertask have
methods that use task.setParameterValue(s)
either use task.setParameterValue(parmname, parmvalue)
task.setParameterValues(parmmap);
IGetParameterDefinitionTask is used to get parameter info, primarily to
build user entry dialogs.

Thanks! I'll have a look in that direction.
(A "BIRT Cookbook" would be wonderful. There's a big contrast between the
helpfulness of the report design tutorials and the bare API listings in the
programming sections of Eclipse help books.)
