Hi, is it possible to set the pdf export encoding dynamically e.g. using parameters? I want my report to be valid for a lot of countries including central european and cyrilic but I can only set the pdf encoding once. Even worse- my report has tabular layout and one of the columns is always english = encoding 1252 or 1250. Is there any way to achieve this? thanks in advance, Thomas

Hi all, unfortunateley I am not able to solve the following problem: I have a main-report that fetches data through jdbc from a postgres database- standalone working (=ireport preview). I want to include a subreport- also standalone working. This subreport has almost only static data, labels, text and should be an extra page as a fax answer for our clients. The few relevant data I want to display dynamically should be provided using (input) parameter. If I put them together I run into the java heap space error... Error.log is attached as are the jrxml report files. Any help would be appreciated! thanks, thomas

hi all, I have a working report with a bar3DChart on the bottom. The reports provides a ranking. But if only one entry exists the chart really looks ugly, in case I have 10 entries I need the whole page width. Is there a way to use some sort of dynamic width for the chart? any help appreciated! thanx, Thomas

Thanks for your answer. I'll be looking for it.

Hi, I am trying the latest release of JasperStudio and I am wondering how to connect to an existing JasperReports Server Repository. How can I achieve that? There are a lot of existing reports and resoources that I need to access. Without such a connection I have to stay with the Netbeans based iReport. Thanks for your answers! Thomas

hi, thanks a lot! Your hint to "set the text field to Styled" solved my problem! Thomas

hi all, is it possible to have a report display elements from database that were stored formatted? e.g. html or xhtml or xml or ??? I have some "classic" elements for reporting in the database (postgres) and also parts where the enduser should be able to have at least limited means of formatting (wysiwyg editor as frontend on some webpage). We are working on a bunch of directives for abot 15 countries providing their relevant directives in local languages. Maybe someone has other ideas to implement it. Any hint is very welcome! thanks thomas

Hi, concerning the report schedule output file name also I would like to know if it is possible to use parameters of the job schedule as part of the output file name. e.g.: Parameter 1 = 'Partner38' => output file name = 'Partner38_report_20100101.pdf' That would be very helpful! Thanks, Thomas

as mentioned sometime in the past I should make an "enhancement request in Tracker". As this is the first time I would try to do so are there any docs to get informed what to do and how it was best to do it. Sorry but so far i would not know exactly what I should do or not. thanks Thomas

Thanks Yash for your quick answer but I (think I) already know the possible parameters. In my case it was the easiest to export almost everything =all but the jobs. thats what I am looking for.

is it possible to exclude job resources? this was helpful to keep test-environment up do date with production. currently i am running js-export --everything --output-zip xy.zip thanks in advance! Post Edited by moz at 08/04/2009 12:13

thanks for your hint! It seems working well now. Also for me it is the easier way for updates. If I put load the jar up to the repository as a resource and I use this resource in reports "use existing resource from repository" is it necessary to update the report itself after changing the jar repository file as well? - do I need to click through all options/ escpecially the "resource/input control" page in jasperserver web-frontend to get the latest changes from the jar from the repository?

??? after stopping the jasperserver and waiting some minutes and a restart -now its working as expected. I am confused- looks like problems with my scriptlet-jar that affects the whole machine? Post Edited by moz at 07/28/2009 09:42

yes -I put the jar file in the classpath (=jasperserver/WEB-INF/lib directory) and also yes- I defined it as a resource in ireport-nb. This morning all went fine but after some changes in the scriptlet and the jrxml file and respectively updates in the repository and on the server the same problems occurs again. excpetion: com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.JSExceptionWrapper: net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:1. vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc)parameter_REPORT_SCRIPTLET.getValue()).whereclause()); //$JR_EXPR_ID=4$ <------------------->2. vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc)parameter_REPORT_SCRIPTLET.getValue()).whereclause()); //$JR_EXPR_ID=4$ <------------------->3. vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc cannot be resolved to a type value = (java.lang.String)(((vmg.utils.VmgDateCalc)parameter_REPORT_SCRIPTLET.getValue()).whereclause()); //$JR_EXPR_ID=4$ <------------------->3 errors I updated the scriptlet-jars using winscp and the jrxml file and also the scriptlet-jar resource in the repository using ireport-nb via the jasperserver plugin. Maybe there are problems with some caching or updates via jasperserver-plugin or jvm itself if there are more then one or two updates??? thanks, Thomas

It has been a while that I asked for this "report bursting" feature. Any news on this subject? I have seen some JAVA Code as a command-line tool and tried to develop something on my own with the help of a friend who is familiar with JAVA. Both workarounds were not perfect. The best thing I could imagine at the moment- we will need about 50-100 reports scheduled at about the end of month- was to schedule these using the web-interface of jasperserver and save the jobs with corresponding parameters while the report itself is always the same jrxml.

hi, I am actually looking for the same thing and trying to use scriptlet functionality. a scriptlet can calculate anything you want/need and provide the result in different ways for the report itself. My current problem- the above mentioned scriptlet is not working yet- is that locally with ireport-nb and the jasperserver-plugin the report is working pretty well as expected but if I use the web-page from jasperserver to run the report interactive it fails with sql exceptions. My scriptlet tries to check the possible parameters if they are set -then use them or - empty/null -then provide self-calculated values for the report at runtime. Maybe - or I am sure that's my problem- there is a difference in checking for parameter values locally=ireport-nb compared to the jasperserver. Any hints are very welcome! This feature would be very helpful. thanx in advance Thomas

Hi all, I am searching some best practise for iReportNB for the development of reports running on the server. I would like to store he report sources *.jrxml in an SVN System. The reports themselves should stay on the server using Jasperserver-plugin. With other projects we use SVN (Windows client TortoiseSVN which is great!). Is there anybody to give me information on how to use SVN in this special environment? Thanks in advance! Thomas

Hi there, as I face exactly the same problem- does anyone have a hint how to fix the problem so far? For me it didn't work to copy lib-files to the server. I think it should be able to use the latest version of iReport, is it? thanks for your answers! thomas

Hi there, as I am looking for exactly the same functionality I read your post with interest. Are there any news on this topic? I want to use JasperReport to produce our company's documents in predefined output like winword .dot files (templates). The idea was to design a report (document) with iReport and get the "message body" from input paramater at runtime or from a database or from a temporary textfile with very basic formatting. Does anyone have hints for me? Thanks in advance! Thomas

I wonder if there is a way to schedule a report (nightly) that sends it output per mail as attachement ----> (so far I know it's working perfectly!) that sends a seperate pdf-file for each grouping-criteria eg. sales-partner with different page count. someone can help? thanks in advance! regards thomas

no problem, I attach the interesting part from catalina.out thomas [file name=catalina-6df3df2b34ac59189cb97b22778cadd2.txt size=30746]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/catalina-6df3df2b34ac59189cb97b22778cadd2.txt[/file] Post edited by: moz, at: 2007/06/01 19:14

Hi there, as I tried to configure Jasperserver with LDAP I am not quite sure if maybe I found a bug. I configured Jasperserver to work fine with postgres for the repository but the insert-statement for the external users do not work so I think LDAP authentication works fine but jasper is unable to add the authenticated user to the JIUser and JIUserRole table. Do I need any additional settings, did I miss something somewhere or is it definitively a bug? thanks for your answers! moz

hi lucian, thanks for your help, now it is working! i also read the post from anandharaj but thought it was different. sorry for my mistake. :dry: many thanx! thomas:

nested subreports do not work => access denied, a main report with two or more subreports only works fine. maybe a bug in 1.2.1? thanks for your help!

hi there, I followed the posts regarding 'Access denied'with interest and tried a lot of things but still had no suxxess. I try to run a report with a subreport that has another subreport included (inside) but didn't find a way to set up security for subreports. No difference if I run the report from iReport using the Jasperserver-Plugin directly on the server or using the apache-tomcat as jasperadmin (who should have correct permissions). The Plugin should use the user defined to access the servers repository = jasperadmin again. Thanx for your help!
