    To meet prerequisites for installing the WAR file for WebLogic:

    1. Check that the Oracle/Sun Java JDK 1.6 or 1.7 is installed.
    2. Check that the JAVA_HOME system environment variable points to the JDK.
    3. Install the PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, or DB2 database.

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.a88e7f802e0263c4ef08bf42103e9ac0.png

    The target database can be on a remote server.

    To install the WAR file for WebLogic:

    1. Extract all files in jasperreports-server-6.1-bin.zip into a top-level directory, such as C:Jaspersoft on Windows or /home/<user> on Linux.

    Unpacking the ZIP file creates the directory jasperreports-server-6.1-bin.

    2. Check that WebLogic is installed in the default location on your local machine.

    If WebLogic is not installed in the default location, or if you encounter problems using the buildomatic scripts, set up the database manually as described in Setting JVM Options for Application Servers. After setting up the database manually, skip step 10.

    3. (If you're using MySQL, you can skip this step.) Copy your JDBC driver to WebLogic.
    a. PostgreSQL example: Copy the JDBC jar from

    <js-install>/buildomatic/conf_source/db/postgresql/jdbc

    to

    <weblogic_home>/server/lib

    b. TIBCO JDBC Oracle driver example: Copy ji-oracle-1.0.0-driver.jar from

    <js-install>/buildomatic/conf_source/db/oracle/jdbc

    to

    <weblogic_home>/server/lib

    Note that the MySQL JDBC driver is included in recent versions of WebLogic.

    4. (If you're using PostgreSQL or MySQL, you can skip this step). If you are using the TIBCO JDBC driver for Oracle, SQL Server, or DB2, you need to add the driver to the WebLogic jdbcdrivers.xml file. To do this:
    a. Open the file <weblogic_home>/server/lib/jdbcdrivers.xml in a text editor.
    b. Add the correct settings for your database. The following example shows the settings for the TIBCO JDBC driver for Oracle. For DB2 or SQL Server, see Configuring TIBCO JDBC Driver Connections.
    c. Save the file
    5. (If you're using MySQL, you can skip this step.) Set your WebLogic classpath for your database:
    a. Add the following line to your <weblogic_home>/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd/sh file:

    On Windows:

    On Linux:

    b. Save the file.
    c. Restart WebLogic using the startWebLogic.cmd/sh.
    6. Copy the .properties file for your database:

    From — <js-install>/buildomatic/sample_conf/

    To — <js-install>/buildomatic

    7. Rename the file you copied to default_master.properties file.
    8. Edit the default_master.properties file to add settings specific to your database and your application server. “Sample Values for the default_master.properties File” shows sample property values.

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.f28eb9cc95e485f0bfba4445942a1143.png

    When appServerType = skipAppServerCheck, buildomatic skips the application server type validation. Use this setting when installing JasperReports Server with WebLogic. Backslashes in appServerDir must be doubled, for example C:WLApplication_Server. Make sure there are no spaces in the appServerDir path.

    Sample Values for the default_master.properties File

    Database

    Sample Property Values

    PostgreSQL

    DB2

    For DB2 8.x, change your deployed JDBC driver as described inLocating and Changing Buildomatic Configuration Files.

    MySQL

    Oracle

    appServerType=skipAppServerCheckappServerDir=[path to WebLogic application server]sysUsername=systemsysPassword=passworddbUsername=jasperserverdbPassword=passworddbHost=hostname[/code]                        

    Note that dbUsername must be the same as the Oracle user name.

    SQL Server

    If your application server runs on Java 1.5, change your deployed JDBC driver as described in Locating and Changing Buildomatic Configuration Files.

    9. Setup the database and optional sample databases using the buildomatic Ant scripts. Enter commands in the table below to call buildomatic Ant scripts:

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.039e7522727a8989345fa1097d9e3bfb.png

    Exception: For DB2, skip this step and perform step&">step 10) of this procedure.

    You call buildomatic Ant scripts from the command line using the following syntax:

    Windows — js-ant <target-name>

    Linux — ./js-ant <target-name>

    Commands

    Description

    cd <js-install>/buildomatic

    Goes to the buildomatic directory.

    js-ant create-js-db Creates the jasperserver repository database

    js-ant init-js-db-pro

    js-ant import-minimal-pro

    Initializes database, loads core application data

    js-ant create-sugarcrm-db

    js-ant create-foodmart-db

    (Optional) Creates sample databases

    js-ant load-sugarcrm-db

    js-ant load-foodmart-db

    (Optional) Loads sample data into the sample databases

    js-ant import-sample-data-pro

    (Optional) Loads the demos that use the sample data

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.4e3369613af5210f2bf012f060f20997.png

    On non-Linux Unix platforms, the js-ant commands may not be compatible with all shells. If you have errors, use the bash shell explicitly. For more information, see Bash Shell for Solaris, IBM AIX, HP UX and FreeBSD.

    10. Add the database driver to your classpath.
    11. In WebLogic, open an Administrative Console window and navigate to Services > Data Sources or Domain Configurations > Services > Data Sources.
    12. Click New and then Generic Data Source for each of the data source columns in the following table, and enter the following values for a PostgreSQL database. You'll need to click Next after entering the database driver and after One-Phase Commit.

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.7905d3c61e54b27803ac248fcee4367f.png

    To use a database other than PostgreSQL, configure the database connections using settings shown in Configuring TIBCO JDBC Driver Connections or Configuring Databases Using the Vendor's Driver.

    If you plan to use the sample databases (Foodmart and Sugar CRM), perform this step and the following step for each database.

    Parameter Name JasperReports Server Foodmart Example Sugar CRM Example

    Name

    JasperServerDataBase

    FoodmartDataBase

    SugarcrmDataBase

    JNDI Name

    JasperServerDataBase

    FoodmartDataBase

    SugarcrmDataBase

    Database Type

    PostgreSQL

    Database Driver

    PostgreSQL Driver Versions: using org.postgresql.Driver

    Supports Global
    Transactions

    Selected

    One-Phase Commit

    Selected

    13. Set connection properties. Sample properties for a PostgreSQL database are:
    Parameter Name JasperReports Server Foodmart Example Sugar CRM Example

    Database Name

    jasperserver

    foodmart

    sugarcrm

    Host Name

    localhost

    Port

    5432

    Database User Name

    postgres

    Password

    postgres

    Confirm Password

    postgres

    14. Test the database connection:
    a. For SugarCRM and Foodmart, use the default connections:

    jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/sugarcrm

    jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/foodmart

    b. Change the URL for the jasperserver database to:

    jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jasperserver

    15. Select targets and ensure that AdminServer is set for all data sources.
    16. Use the Java jar tool or an unzip tool to unpack the jasperserver-pro.war file. For example, using the Java jar tool, enter these commands to unpack the jasperserver-pro.war file to a folder:
    cd <js-install-dir>mkdir jasperserver-procd jasperserver-pro"%JAVA_HOME%/bin/jar" xvf ../jasperserver-pro.war[/code]                    
    17. (If you're using WebLogic 12c, skip this step.) Search for conflicting JARs and delete them from the WAR file. If the following JARs are present in your WebLogic installation, you need to delete them from your JasperReports Server installation to avoid conflicts. To do this:
    a. Search your WebLogic installation for these files:

    jaxb-api-<ver>.jar

    jaxb-impl-<ver>.jar

    serializer-<ver>.jar

    stax-api-<ver>.jar

    xalan-<ver>.jar

    xercesImpl-<ver>.jar

    xml-apis-<ver>.jar

    b. Change to the JasperReports Server WEB-INF/lib directory:

    cd <js-install>/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/lib

    c. Delete any conflicting JARs, but save a copy of them to a temporary location.

    If you experience a problem with OLAP Views, you need these JARs for the workaround described in Troubleshooting Problems with OLAP Views.

    18. If you're using WebLogic 10.3.6, you need to replace xml-apis-1.3.04.jar with xml-apis-2.10.0.jar. If you're using WebLogic 10.3.5 or WebLogic 12c, skip this step. To update the JAR:
    a. Go to the WEB-INF/lib directory.
    b. Copy xml-apis-2.10.0.jar from <js-install>/buildomatic/install_resources/extra-jars
    c. Remove xml-apis-1.3.04.jar.
    19. Update your Hibernate, Quartz, and Mail Server configuration:
    a. The buildomatic logic has already configured the hibernate.properties and js.quartz.properties files for your database type. So you can copy these files to the jasperserver-pro file: 

    Copy from: 

    <js-install>/buildomatic/build_conf/default/webapp/WEB-INF/hibernate.properties

    <js-install>/buildomatic/build_conf/default/webapp/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties

    To:

    jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF

    b. Edit the scheduler URI port value for WebLogic in the js.quartz.properties:

    Edit js.quartz.properties:

    Set :

    report.scheduler.web.deployment.uri=http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro

    To:

    report.scheduler.web.deployment.uri=http://localhost:7001/jasperserver-pro

    c. If you want to configure JasperReports Server to automatically schedule and email reports, enter your mail server information in the js.quartz.properties file. Modify all report.scheduler.mail.sender.* properties as necessary for your mail server.
    20. If your mail server requires authentication, edit the applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml file:
    a. Open the jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF/applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml file for editing and locate the reportSchedulerMailSender bean.
    b. Set the javaMailProperties key="mail.smtp.auth" value to true.
    21. Now you can change to the jasperserver-pro folder and re-archive the jasperserver-pro.war file, using commands such as the following:

    Commands

    Description

    cd ../..

    Changes to the jasperserver-pro folder

    mv ../jasperserver-pro.war ../BAK-jasperserver-pro.war

    Renames the original jasperserver-pro.war file.

    "%JAVA_HOME%/bin/jar" cvf ../jasperserver-pro.war *

    Re-archives the jasperserver-pro.war file.

    cd ..

    mv jasperserver-pro BAK-jasperserver-pro

    Renames the unneeded working folder to a backup location.

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.1a0b389128770d9f3f2ec79147d15091.png

    You now have a jasperserver-pro.war file you can use for deploying to WebLogic.

    22. Edit your WebLogic domain configuration file <wl-domain>/config/config.xml:

    note-icon-ns_28x28.png.b2db7be6d6aea0b2fce0ab3598bd273f.png

    <wl-domain> is the path of the domain within WebLogic that contains your JasperReports Server deployment. For example <weblogic>/samples/domains/wl_server.

    a. Locate the server and security-configuration elements, and insert the following parameters:
    b. Check that the stuck-thread-max-time element appears above the listen-address element before the closing </server> tag.

    note-icon-ns.png.3ac2eeb137815c9cb08681510c8f78fc.png

    In some cases, setting the stuck-thread-max-time may cause a schema validation error. In this case, you can try removing this line from the configuration file.

    23. Copy the file <js-install>/buildomatic/conf_source/iePro/lib/xercesImpl-2.10.0.jar to the folder <weblogic_home>/server/lib.
    24. Edit the setdomainEnv file to force WebLogic to use the correct version of the Joda time library, which is shipped with JasperReports Server. By default, the Joda time library is in:

    <js-install>/buildomatic/conf_source/iePro/lib.

         Windows: Edit the setDomainEnv.bat file and add this line:

    set PATCH_CLASSPATH=${PATH TO NEW JODA LIBRARY}joda-time-2.3.jar

         Linux: Edit the setDomainEnv.sh file and add this line:

    export PATCH_CLASSPATH=${PATH TO NEW JODA LIBRARY}/joda-time-2.3.jar

    25. Set JVM options as described in Setting Java Properties.

    Deploy JasperReports Server to WebLogic:

    1. Enable the Lock & Edit button:
    a. Select the Preferences link at the top of the Admin console
    b. Scroll to the bottom of the User Preferences screen and deselect Automatically Acquire Lock and Activate Changes.
    c. Save.
    2. In the Administrative Console, click the Lock & Edit button and navigate to Deployments.
    3. On the Deployments page click the Install button.
    4. Select the path to <js-install>. Click Next.
    5. Leave the radio button selected for Install this deployment as an application. Click Next.
    6. When prompted, enter the following parameter values:

    Parameter Name

    Example Value

    Name

    jasperserver-pro

    Security

    Custom Roles and Policies

    Source accessibility

    Use the defaults defined by the deployment's targets

    7. Review your choices and click Finish.
    8. Click Save.
