Reports not rendered the same on PC / SERVER

[dvenus]

Hi!

-

I have a report developed in iREPORT on my PC that I used the JasperServer plugin to move to the Reports

Server. However on the server the report is not

rendered exactly (or even close in some cases) as the

version on the PC. So now the question is why?

-

All versions are 2.00 - Open Source.

-

I'm new at this so any ideas, suggestions, hints,

tricks, tips, etc. are gratefully accepted and

appreciated.

-

Thanks for you time and patience! :)

Hi!

Are you using the same output format in iReport and on the JasperServer (JS)?

A common problem is that html output does not allow "overlapping fields". Only one of the fields is rendered if two or more are overlapping in their boundaries.

Thus, you need to check every html report with the html output in iReport, before you can expect it to look the same on JS.

When using the same format, there should not be any difference between iReport-generated and JS-generated reports ... they use the same engine....

 

Have a look at the "Build" menu items, and the jasperserver-plugin for ireport to render reports via JS more easily.

 

Hope this helps,

Sebastian

Hi!

-

I am already using the JasperServer iReport plugin.

-

On the PC I am using the JReport viewer. Is that available on JasperServer?

-

Newbie question -- Is JasperReports included in

JasperServer? Perhaps this is my problem? I have only

installed JasperServer on my LINUX box.

-

Is this a fonts problem? Can fonts be copied from the

PC to the LINUX server? If so where would they be put?

-

I appreciate every one's help and patience!

My two cents on the fonts:

 

You can add all your fonts to a jar and add them to the class path on your unix server. (remember to read their licenses first, some fonts have restricted use licenses)

Otherwise they will NOT be available on your unix server.
