I will first admit that I'm a TSM admin, not a "report writer".... but we have 
to come up with a replacement for the reporting component on the TSM 5.x 
servers.

Finally got BIRT Report Designer configured to query the TCR WAREHOUS schema.

When previewing a report in BIRT Report Design the schedule start displays as 
'1110714180036000'.  That is somehow to be July 14th, 2011 at 6:00 PM.

Running the similar report in Administration Center (Reporting > Common 
Reporting) properly displays the "Jul 14, 2011 6:00 PM" format.

The data is defined as CHAR in Birt, not a date/time as I would expect.  I 
don't know enough DB2 yet to look at the properties in WAREHOUS.

Anyone out there working, successfully, with BIRT?

At least a few of you are holding out for Cognos in a future release.


Thanks...
