TIBCO JasperReports® Server builds on TIBCO JasperReports® Library as a comprehensive family of Business Intelligence (BI) products, providing robust static and interactive reporting, report server, and data analysis capabilities. These capabilities are available as either stand-alone products, or as part of an integrated end-to-end BI suite utilizing common metadata and provide shared services, such as security, a repository, and scheduling. The server exposes comprehensive public interfaces enabling seamless integration with other applications and the capability to easily add custom functionality.
The heart of the TIBCO Jaspersoft® BI Suite is the server, which provides the ability to:
|
•
|
Easily create new reports based on views designed in an intuitive, web-based, drag and drop Ad Hoc Editor. |
|
•
|
Efficiently and securely manage many reports. |
|
•
|
Interact with reports, including sorting, changing formatting, entering parameters, and drilling on data. |
|
•
|
Schedule reports for distribution through email and storage in the repository. |
|
•
|
Arrange reports and web content to create appealing, data-rich Jaspersoft® Dashboards that quickly convey business trends. |
For business intelligence users, we offer Jaspersoft® OLAP, which runs on the server.
While the Ad Hoc Editor lets users create simple reports, more complex reports can be created outside of the server. You can either use Jaspersoft® Studio or manually write JRXML code to create a report that can be run in the server. We recommend that you use Jaspersoft® Studio unless you have a thorough understanding of the JasperReports file structure.
