The JasperReports Server report scheduling feature is powered by the Quartz scheduler tool. Buildomatic automatically handles configuration settings for Quartz-based report scheduling.
In a deployed JasperReports Server instance, you'll find the js.quartz.properties file in this location:
<app-server-path>/jasperserver/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties
For mail server configuration, you'll find an additional property setting for authentication in this file:
<app-server-path>/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml
The following configurations are discussed in this section:
| • | Mail Server Configuration |
| • | Quartz Driver Delegate Class |
| • | Report Scheduler Web URI |
| • | Quartz Table Prefix |
| • | Settings for import-export |
| • | Setting Properties in the default_master.properties File |
Mail Server Configuration Settings
You can specify email addresses to notify when a report completes. To do this, configure JasperReports Server to contact an email server as shown in the following table.
| Configuration File | ||
| <app-server>/<deployment>/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties | ||
| Property | Description | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.host | The name of the computer hosting the mail server | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.username | The name of the mail server user JasperReports Server can use | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.password | The password of the mail server user | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.from | The address for in the From field on email notifications | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.protocol | The protocol that the mail server uses. JasperReports Server supports only SMTP. Note: Your entry must be lower case (smtp) | |
| report.scheduler.mail.sender.port | The port number the mail server uses. The default is typically 25 (other ports may not work in earlier JasperReports Server versions). | |
| Configuration File | ||
| <app-server>/<deployment>/WEB-INF/applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml | ||
| Property | Bean | Description |
| javaMailProperties key="mail.smtp.auth" | reportScheduler MailSender | If your mail server requires authentication, change this property from false to true. |
Database Settings for the Quartz Driver Delegate Class
Quartz uses the Quartz driver delegate class to interact with the JDBC driver.
| | If you used buildomatic to install JasperReports Server, the correct value of the Quartz driver delegate class is automatically set for your database. |
If you didn’t use buildomatic to install JasperReports Server, refer to the following table to edit the js.quartz.properties file and set the value of the Quartz driver delegate class to the correct value for your database.
| Configuration File | ||
| <app-server>/<deployment>/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties | ||
| Property | Database | Value |
| MySQL | ||
| PostgreSQL | ||
Settings for the Report Scheduler Web URI
JasperReports Server uses the Report Scheduler Web URI to construct the link it sends in the output of a scheduled job. This link must be correct for the user to access the report on the server.
The port on which you run JasperReports Server and the context root of the deployed JasperReports Server web application determine the report scheduler Web URI. The default context root is jasperserver.
To set this value manually, edit this file:
<app-server>/<deployment>/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties.
Change the properties as shown in the following table.
| Property | App Server | Example Value |
| Apache Tomcat | ||
| JBoss |
Settings for the Quartz Table Prefix
For databases that support schemas, you can set the Quartz table prefix to include the schema, if you use one.
| | If you installed JasperReports Server using buildomatic the Quartz table prefix is set automatically. |
To set this value, edit the file <app-server>/<deployment>/WEB-INF/js.quartz.properties. Change the following property:
| Property | Description | |
| The prefix for the quartz table, including any schema name. | ||
Settings for Import-Export
If you manually configure the import-export shell scripts instead of using the buildomatic, make sure your settings for the Quartz driver delegate class property are correct for your database.
| | If you install using buildomatic, these settings are handled automatically (in buildomatic import-export). |
To configure the import-export scripts manually, edit this file:
<js-install>/buildomatic/conf_source/ieCE/js.quartz.properties
Change the following properties:
| Property | Description | |
| Set to the same value as described in Database Settings for the Quartz Driver Delegate Class. | ||
| Set to the same value as described in Settings for the Quartz Table Prefix | ||
Setting Properties in the default_master.properties File
You can modify the default_master.properties file to configure JasperReports Server functionality. Uncomment the properties you want to have them take effect upon installation. The properties are documented directly in the default_master.properties file:
<js-install>/buildomatic/default_master.properties
You'll find a sample master.properties here (in the case of PostgreSQL):
<js-install>/buildomatic/sample_conf/postgresql_master.properties
When you execute the js-install-ce.sh/bat script (or the underlying deploy-webapp-ce ant target), these properties will be set in the deployed JasperReports Server in the js.quartz.properties file.
Report Scheduler Email Properties
You can set the following properties to configure the Report Scheduler email (default values are shown):
quartz.mail.sender.host=mail.localhost.com
quartz.mail.sender.port=25
quartz.mail.sender.protocol=smtp
quartz.mail.sender.username=admin
quartz.mail.sender.password=password
quartz.mail.sender.from=admin@localhost.com
quartz.web.deployment.uri=http://localhost:8080/jasperserver
Diagnostic Properties
The following properties configure the Diagnostic functionality:
diagnostic.jmx.usePlatformServer = false
diagnostic.jmx.port = 10990
diagnostic.jmx.name = jasperserver
diagnostic.jmx.rmiHost = localhost
Look at the descriptions of the properties in the default_master.properties file and also refer to the JasperReports Server Community Project Administrator Guide for more information on these settings.
