[how to find sum of time duration in jasper ireport using grandtotal concept]

what is the output if you add "new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format(new Date((long)($V{total}*1000-TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset($V{total}))))" in the summary band?

[Do I need Jasper Reports Library and Reports server?]

Both iReport and JasperReports Server are embedding JasperReports library, so you wouldn't need it extra. 

If you are looking for scheduled reports, then you can use the JasperReports Server. To schedule report you need to deploy them from iReport to JasperReports Server. Once the report is deployed, you can define any schedule to run the report to run at defined times. 

 

This tutorial might be helpful.

[JSException: Error filling report]

you need to upload all resources your report requires to JasperReports Server, if you use iReport use the wizard and upload the report again. It will identify additional resources, upload them and add add valid expressions to find the resources on JasperReports Server.

[how to find sum of time duration in jasper ireport using grandtotal concept]

In the last table column you configured as text field expression $F{timediff(updateddateTime,CreatedTime)}, if I understand your requirement correctly, it should be $V{total} instead. This would aggregate the seconds, you'd need to modify the formatting so that you get the desired output. There might be a more elegant way, however this seems to work:

new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss").format(new Date((long)($V{total}*1000-TimeZone.getDefault().getOffset($V{total}))))

are you looking for an answer related to JasperReports Server v3.7.1?

please attach the JRXML. Also, to make sure that I understand you correctly - the last column should contain the total instead of the current difference?

[Error connecting to hive from ireport]

Is your host name really HOST? The error states that JasperReports is unable to connect. So please verify host name, port, network connection and proxy to verify that you can access the machine running hive.

[Me da este error, con querer realizar un reporte con parametros]

The exception is a class cast error,ie somewhere true or false is expected but instead a number is returned. Verify your report design and check if all fields an printWhen expressions indeed contain Boolean values.

[Unable to install Jasper report server on windows server2008 R2]

This is Postgres related bug. Please try to install and configure Postgres separately, then run the JasperReports Server installation again and choose to install against an existing Postgres database. This should work around the problem.

[rest_v2 scheduled job won't run if it has a Date parameter]

this sounds to me like a bug. Please add it to the tracker including steps how to reproduce and post the tracker number here.

[problem passing data from master report to Subreport]

what kind of datasource are you using?

[Jasper report using section approach]

depends on how you define "section" - i.e. if you could utilize multiple detail bands - one for each section. If you add printWhen to a band then the entire band won't be shown - so there wouldn't be any whitespace. if it is a more complex layout it would be helpful if you'd post a draft of the report/desired output.

[Jasper report using section approach]

Have a look at printWhen expressions which can be used to conditionally show or hide bands (report sections) or even elements (like text fields, charts etc). In there you can add any expression, it has to return true or false. If true is returned, the section is shown, otherwise not. In combination with multiple detail bands this should allow you to implement the flexible layout you wish. In terms of calling external Java Code you need to make sure that the required classes are available for JasperReports, ie that they are in the iReport and JasperReports embedding application's classpath. 

[Limiting number of characters in input control multi-select box]

There are 2 options:

• modify the CSS for the input control (see here for options)
• modify your query so that it returns e.g. only the first 50 characters of the string

[Jasper server Dashboard showing in different application]

Another option would be to add a single sign on solution where either an external token server such as CAS is used. The External Authentication Cookbook and the Ultimate Guide provide further details. Also, in the wiki you find some more specific examples such as using JBoss SSO etc (see here for full list).

You could also consider to implement a custom SSO solution where you pass all relevant user information with each request to JasperReports Server. JasperReports Server translates it into a user object (that knows about roles, permission and tenant information) and allows you to utilize all security features  JasperReports Server provides.
