The Actuate iServer component is an optional direct replacement for the BIRT component and offers additional support for on-line customization of pre-built content and new content creation. It is a propriety server component, which includes its own application server (non-J2EE)
The BIRT and Actuate versions are linked; Actuate 11 supports BIRT 2.6. The versions were selected based on two key factors:
- Actuate 11 was released in 2010 and hence is the most recent version available at the time Cúram v6 was released.
- Both Actuate 11 and BIRT 2.6 offer significant advances over the previous releases
Please note that Actuate 11 is an optional component and is not included in any release, hence clients must purchase Actuate separately. The version dependencies are:
- The BIRT version used is BIRT 2.6, Eclipse version 3.6 is required to support BIRT 2.6.
- BIRT 2.6 requires Eclipse 3.6, our development process supports the ability of any of our releases to move to newer versions of BIRT (as new features become available).
- Actuate 11 is based on BIRT 2.6.
