Purpose of 'Error Report' Template

Use Case

Customer noticed that a new template appeared in TIBCO JasperReports^® Server v.7.1.0 - 'Error Report',

and would like to know purpose of the template.

Resolution

In TIBCO JasperReports^® Server v.7.1.0 a new mechanism was implemented to process situation when data source (domain) used for Ad hoc Views and Reports changed (filds were removed, renamed etc).

As a part of these changes, a new template was added - Public > Templates > Error Report, filename is ds_error_report.jrxml

The template used when end-user tries to open an Ad Hoc Report with missed items/fields.

If in previous versions of the product an exception with stacktrace displayed to the user, from v.7.1.0 a user-friendly message shown instead:
