I was told in training class that "frame" was not a good solution for pulling jasperserver into liferay...Anyone know exactly what the drawbacks are? I have an iframe setup and have seen some strange behaviour with the jasperserver dashboard refresh buttons (in top right corner of each report...) perhaps the instructor was talking about frame and not iframe...I am not that familiar with the concept...

I actually achieved this effect by making the column headings "text field" and then using the hyperlink / drill down report capabilities to pass in different order by... Bad part is that this actually re-runs the report...would be nicer if it was javascript that just did the re-sort in memory...

One other thing, this dashboard is a custom URL to a jsp page...I think it is the browser caching settings...so I am playing around with that...

I have dashboard with auto-refresh interval set... In IE, this works...automatically shows new info and the little refresh button works For Firefox 3.5.8 however, I am getting strange results... at first, the automatic refresh did not work, the little refresh popup box did not work and the "Open in New Window" would all show old information...Only when I did a browser page re-load would the new data appear... googling this problem, made me think that perhaps my plugins/addons were interfering (google info noted WebDeveloper plugin in particular)...after disabling all plugins, only the following behaviour changed... the "Open in New window" DOES display the latest info...the refresh button does not work and the automatic refresh does not work still... Anyone know in particular what is going on here? Thanks

Yes, but this is auto-creating the users in JasperServer which is NOT what I want... :( perhaps I will look at the code and see what is going on there... what I really want to do is map each user to one of 3 or 4 different jasperserver logins...that indicate role level /permissions... I was doing this in 3.0.2 by just passing j_username/j_password as hidden input fields...now I am not able to do this since I cannot post params to iframe which I am using in portlet to wrap jasperserver...not a great solution but simple and it worked...

When you say you uploaded your reports...How did you upload them? via IReport plugin? or are you moving your reports from one instance of jasperserver to another instance via the js-import utility... I would check that all database connection settings match...for js-import utility, check config in <JS>/scripts/config/js.jdbc.properties If using ireport, check the repository connection settings... Then actually go into your jasperserver database and browse in tables: JIREPORTUNIT, JIRESOURCE, JIRESOURCEFOLDER... you should see uris, etc with your reports there...

In upgrading to JasperServer 3.7 and also deploying the reports via liferay portal...I would like to change my method of authentication...Here is what I want...I am using home-grown authentication that will give me list of "authorization" tokens... one of these tokens will indicate a jasperserver username to map to... in JasperServer I will NOT have logins for individual users but rather just a few logins which define their reporting role... so some users will map to jasperserver login "manager", and some will map to "operator" and have different reports displayed based on permissions in jasperserver... I will be serving up reports via frames inside portlets running under liferay and I just want to auto-login... Can this be accomplished with existing Acegi framework in JasperServer? Can you point me to some documentation/example on this? NOTE: I am not really interested in the JasperServer login screen calling my home-grown authentication...I just want to auto-login to JasperServer with one of the subset of users...

Also, take a look in the jasperserver database at tables: JIRESOURCE, JIRESOURCEFOLDER and JIREPORTUNIT...you should be able to find your reports, etc... perhaps they imported to a different location than you thought...or check out permissions...

ok...I figured out that you need to right click the Main.jrxml file - then select "Replace with current something or other"... This is a bit funky...it would be nice if the "publish" button at top of jasperserver repo plugin would save it back to repo...that's how my old ireport worked...

I have upgraded from JasperServer 3.0.2 to JasperServer 3.7... I am trying to use iReport 3.7 with the JasperServer plugin...I am able to browse and edit but I CANNOT upload the changes to JasperServer repository...The Publish button is disabled.... Anyone give me a clue here...I have my plugin connecting as superuser so permissions should NOT be a problem...

I exported/imported a 3.0.2 repo to a 3.7 repo (although the official docs say that the 3.5 has to be used as an intermediary...) Since I have reports that for the most part are simple (straight SQL, couple input controls, nothing very sophisticated going on)...I figured I would give this a try before creating a 3.5 repo instance (not trivial since I run on oracle and getting dba assist takes time...) Anyway, the one difference is the multi-tenancy feature of 3.7 jasperserver...multiple organizations can be supported...this allows orgs to be completed seperated (org1 cannot see reports/datasources for org2) At the root repo level there is now /organizations and under here is the default /organizations/organization_1...When using js-import, it will default to placing the reports in organization_1 unless you specify --org-id newOrgName as parameter QUESTION: Did you get any errors when running import? ANOTHER GOTCHA with 3.7: New repo browser has bottom left hand search controls...titled "Refine" make sure second pull-down has "All Types" selected... POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Do not try and "copy" the reports to a different organization...this appeared to work for me but of course all the references inside the reportUnits were referencing datasource, input controls from the default org1 where I moved them from...so no reports worked due to permissions problems...I just re-imported all using "--org-id portal" where portal was my organization id

ok, I just did this... except that I copied the default decorator and made a custom decorator... but if you want to change for all then... WEB-INF/decorators/decorator.jsp Look for line containing <form id="searchForm"...this already contains code using authz tags... add another tag same as the ROLE_ANONYMOUS...just copy and change to ROLE_USER...don't forget ending tag </authz:authorize>

I think table is called JIOBJECTPERMISSION (at least it is in V3.7 under oracle...)

I like to do 2 things: 1) backup my database instance (in my case, this is oracle and my dba does this as normal activity of backing up everything..) 2) use [JASPER_INSTALL]/scripts/js-export utility with --everything option --output-zip zipfileName (this will output everything from your jasperserver repository into zipfile...) you can then use js-import utility to import back in...

make sure that others have access to your dev machine via intranet/internet... they should be able to hit http://yourJasperMachineIP:8080/jasperserver (or jasperserver-pro if using the pro version...) you can login as administrator (jasperadmin or superuser (V3.7)) and create a login for them with appropriate permissions... note: that you can hide folders that you do not want them to see...for example, your datasources folder by setting permission to no access but then for the actual datasource that they need for running reports (that is inside this folder), set the permission to read only... then when they run report, report is able to access the data source but when this user "browses" or views the repository, they will NOT see the datasources folder... since usually you just want your users to see the reports...
