Jasperreport (.jrxml) upgrade from version 6.19.0 to 7.0.0

[arjun.sharma]

Hi,

In our Maven application, we are in the process of upgrading the JasperReports library from version 6.19.0 to 7.0.0.
During this upgrade we also learned about upgrading .jrxml file templates. The jrxml file contains queryString, groupExpression, staticText, reportElement tags.

Kindly suggest the best practice to upgrade the existing .jrxml files (kindly share in case any details document is available) or do we need to re-design the .jrxml template.
Re-creating .jrxml template file is a cumbersome process for us as we have many such files in our application.

Note: We also tried to import our existing .jrxml files in Jasper studio 7.0 and saving them to upgrade but that is not working in our application.

Thanks,

Hi,
if you are using Jaspersoft Studio 7.0.0 or 7.0.1 you might use the context menu action "JasperReports > Update JasperReports Files" (see screenshot below).
You can right click on JasperReports project, a folder or even the JRXML files themselves.

Indeed just be sure that the "Compatibility" settings in the Preferences is set to use the last version (7.0.0 at least).

Regards,
Massimo.

P.S: of course just to be sure, please backup your original files before testing the (massive) update feature.

Hi Massimo,

 

I followed your suggestion, but it doesn't see working, after update, nothing changed.

 

Thanks,
