Auto Start/Stop with Bundled Tomcat and PostgreSQL (Linux)

Auto Start/Stop with Bundled Tomcat and PostgreSQL (Linux)

Problem:

Not able to configure the binary bundled installed JasperReports Server to auto-start after system reboot on a Linux OS.

Cause:

When trying to configure the binary bundled installed JasperReports Server to auto-start after system reboot by following the below Installation guide, we receive an error while executing sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add jasperserver. The error seen is -

service jasperserver does not support chkconfig

https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-installation-guide/v750/starting-and-stopping-jasperreports#:~:text=Auto%20Start/Stop%20with%20Bundled%20Tomcat%20and%20PostgreSQL

As per the readme.txt file, this command - sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add jasperserver, adds a service to system startup. Since we are not able to execute this command, the jasperserver service is not getting auto-started with system reboot.

Resolution:

Try to add below 2 lines in the jasperserver script (both at <js-install>/scripts/linux/jasperserver and /etc/init.d/jasperserver), save the file, and then try to run the command, sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add jasperserver and sudo /sbin/chkconfig jasperserver on

# chkconfig: 2 3 5
# description: some startup description

The readme.txt file and the jasperserver script can be found in the attachments section of this article for reference.
