RUN IN BACKGROUND functionality

[chintanshah]

i am a newbie to using JasperServer Plug-in for iReport.

Does iReport has a functionality equivalent to RUN IN BACKGROUND in JasperServer?

if not then is it possible to give a predefined destination for a report?

Also is it possible to schedule a Jasper Server Report Unit from iReport?

Any help would be appreciable.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can schedule reports in JasperServer via iReport (and it's jasperserver-plugin).

I think it is best to look at the JasperServer-Web-Services-Guide.pdf, which you can find in the <js-install>/docs directory.

 

Look for Section 3.0 "Report Scheduling Web Services". It talks about parameters such as JobRepositoryDestination and JobSimpleTrigger, startDate.

 

I'm pretty sure that iReport makes use of all this functionality and presents it via the plugin UI.

Actually, you'll need to use the JasperServer web interface to schedule the report.

 

iReport is good for uploading, downloading, running reports, etc. But the JasperServer plug-in does not include scheduling.
