    This is on discussion here. And for now it sounds too bad.

    For now it seems that we will have birt on p servers only.

I think it is possible.
- In BIRT report, you can set the report url refer to any machines (i.e via IP address or hostname) - You can put report.rpt file in any machines, you access them via http:///sitePrefix//birt-viewer/
frameset?/option1/=/value1/;/option2/=/value2;...

        Not entirely sure I understand your architecture, but I assuming
        that
        all (p) servers will be pointed to the same central database (c). If
        you design your BIRT report to point to the (c) server, it will make
        no difference whether the report is run from the (p) servers, so
        long
        as the data source points to the (c) server. If you are looking at
        doing disconnected data entry, as opposed to a central database, you
        will need to collate all of your data into the central server
        through
        import/export. However, the report should still function in the same
        way. Just be sure that you design the BIRT report with a data source
        to the actual IP address of the server, and not the localhost
        address.
        Obviously, the report will need to be distributed to the (p)
        servers,
        but uploaded without a datasource, as this will need to be specified
        in the report itself. Otherwise, perhaps you can just host the
        report
        on the (c) server and have all the (p) servers run it from there by
        logging in and running the report remotely.

        Hmm, lots of c's and p's there, but this should certainly be doable.

        Jason

            We plan to have a strange situation.

            We will have at least 5 servers (p) for dhis2 data entry.
            All that data will
            be agregated to a central server (c) where will have central
            reports.

            The question: How can I make the dhis on p server to use the
            birt on c
            server?

            It is just an ideia so far. So comments to make it better
            would be good.
