This section describes major changes in functionality in the Jaspersoft BI Suite version 7.8 releases. For information regarding previous releases, see the release notes for those releases.
Changes in 7.8.1
| • | For a list of files that have changed and one configuration change, see the *_readme.txt files in the ZIP file for this maintenance release. |
| • | XMLA Server Disabled by Default: XMLA (XML for Analysis, also written XML/A) is a legacy SOAP-based XML protocol used to transfer analysis data over an HTTP connection. XMLA consists of a client component to connect to external XMLA data sources, and a server component that allowed XMLA connections to be used internally as data sources. XMLA has been deprecated in JasperReports Server since release 7.1, but the functionality was still available. |
As of this release, the XMLA server component is now disabled by default. JasperReports Server can still receive and process data from a Mondrian XMLA data source as a client, but that XMLA connection can no longer be used as a server to define a second data source. If you had JRXML reports or Ad Hoc reports based on such a data source, they must be modified to use the Mondrian XMLA data source directly.
It is strongly encouraged to keep the JasperReports Server XMLA server disabled for security considerations. However, the XMLA server can be re-enabled through the following steps:
| a. | Edit the file WEB-INF/web.xml in the JasperReports Server web app. |
| b. | Find the JasperXmlaServlet. |
| c. | Uncomment the servlet definition and its mapping: |
Changes in 7.8.0
| • | Chromium replacing PhantomJS. JasperReports Server Version 7.8 replaces PhantomJS with the Chromium JavaScript engine to generate graphical reports that are run in the background or scheduled. You can use Chrome, Chromium, or any other browser based on Chromium like Microsoft Edge. For information on the compatible versions of browsers, see the TIBCO Jaspersoft Platform Support Guide. |
| • | Input controls client-server pagination implemented for Report Viewer, Report Options, and Scheduler. This functional change improves performance when running reports with big number of values in single-select and multi-select input controls. |
