I am using iReport 3.7.6 and JasperServer CP 4.0. My typical development process is to develop and test the report in iReport and then upload the report to Jasper Server with the final goal of having the report produced on a scheduled basis. I am having difficulties understanding how JasperServer formats an Excel spreadsheet with the report data. Given a row of data (total # of rows is about 22000) some cells of data will populate 2 or more columns across a row and other cells will populate just a single column. It is consistent across rows so that is a good thing. Ideally I would like to have one column per cell since that makes any sorting easier. For example, the Last Name is taking up 2 columns while the full Primary Manager name is just taking up one column even though it is longer. What level of control do I have over this? I have removed horizontal spacing between the entities on the detail row in iReport. There does not seem to be any difference between the report elements in the XML - all fields are a String type. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sounds good. Thanks for the follow-up.

Thanks for the reply Ramnik. I was able to get it to work successfully based on your input. I did not need to change any config to get the URL to work. I was using this link for the instructions: http://jasperforge.org/website/jasperserverwebsite/JSJA%20Website/jasperserver_getting_started.html?header=project&target=jasperserver so this was not accurate. I also looked at the Install Guide that came with the product. It only described how to Start and Stop from a Windows and a Mac perspective. There was absolutely no mention of ctlscript in the doc. Thanks again.

I downloaded the linux bin file for the 4.0 server and ran it successfully as far as I can tell. No errors were indicated. I selected all the default option in terms of ports and such. At the end of installation, according to the directions, it should have started up but there was no output lines indicating such. I then tried to find the file 'jasperctl.sh' but could not find it. So the question is: How to start it up without that file? Is there a different sh file to execute? Also, I believe the Tomcat server is set to localhost? How do I set it to the VAH name i have for the server so I can access the Admin screen with this url: http://myVAHname:8080/jasperserver
