How to Automatically Enable and Configure FTP properties in Scheduler 'Output Options' tab

Question:

How do I set FTP as default output option for report job and specify default FTP settings (server, port, user, password)?

Answer:

Please note the solution below verified with TIBCO JasperReports^® Server v.6.2.0

Default values for FTP output can be setup in a Javascript file:

jasperserver-proscriptsbower_componentsjrs-uisrcschedulermodeljobModel.js 

Add the following code within outputFTPInfo: {.....} definition (line ~1455): 

outputFTPInfo: {
      propertiesMap: {},
      serverName: "ftp.mycompany.com",
      userName: "user",
      password: "pass",
      folderPath: "output/reportjobs",
      type: "ftp",
      port: "21",
      implicit: true,
      pbsz: 0
}

You need to replace dummy values with your custom ones. 

Please note that, by default, JasperReports Server uses so-called optimized scripts.

In order to test the changes you can add _opt=false parameter to URL to make the server uses non-optimized scripts: 

http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/flow.html?_flowId=searchFlow&_opt=false 

If the changes meet your requirements, you should regenerate optimized scripts as described in JasperReports Server guide:
