Uploading the Main JRXML

If you want to validate the JRXML before uploading it, use iReport. The server doesn’t validate the JRXML when you upload it.

This procedure shows you how to set up a name for the report in the repository and upload the main JRXML file that references all other elements.

To upload the main JRXML for the simple report example:

1.

Log into the server as administrator and select View > Repository.

If you log in as a user, you can upload a report unit to the server, but this example requires an administrator login to access the image resources.

2.

Locate the folder where you want to add the report.

For example, go to Organization > Reports.

3.

Right-click the Reports folder and select Add Resource > JasperReport from the context menu.

Add Resource only appears on the context menu if your user account has write permission to the folder.

The Set Up the Report page of the JasperReport wizard appears.

4.

In Naming, enter the name and description of the new report, and accept the Resource ID generated as you type the name:

•

Name

Display name of the report: New Simple Report

•

Resource ID

Permanent designation of the report object in the repository: New_Simple_Report

•

Description

Optional description displayed in the repository: This is a simple example

5.

Select Upload a Local File and Browse to <js-install>samples/reports/AllAccounts.jrxml.

You can upload a new JRXML or select a JRXML from the repository.

In “Required Set Up Values” you can see the Set Up the Report page.

Required Set Up Values

6.

Click Controls & Resources.

The server uploads the main JRXML file. The Controls & Resources page reappears with a message to locate suggested resources.

Suggested Resources in the Resources List

The suggested resources are missing resources that the server needs to validate and run the report. In this example, suggested resources are the hyperlinked names of images:

•

Logolink

•

AllAccounts_Res2

Next, upload the suggested file resources.
