[Incorrect "Report Design" perspective in Rational]

It must have been an install issue... I restarted RDB (Run as administrator), installed JSS again... and now everything is fine.

Guess the plugin wasn't installed correctly by running RDB not as administrator.

[Incorrect "Report Design" perspective in Rational]

The problem is I only see the BIRT one, so even while everything indicates that JSS is installed... I just can't get to the perspective... hence I can't even use it.

[Incorrect "Report Design" perspective in Rational]

Is there any way I could debug what's wrong ?

If not I guess I will need to install the studio in a standalone Eclipse?

[Incorrect "Report Design" perspective in Rational]

I just installed Jasper Studio in a Rational Business Developer instance, but I seem to get another "Report Design" perspective.

I presume this one is an included one of RBD and is related to BIRT, could it be that there's a perspective naming conflict ?

Is there any method in solving this, or should Jasper Studio rename its perspective ?

 

[Missing requirement: requires 'org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.doc.user.feature.group 0.0.0']

I just tried to install the Jasper Studio Plugin into a IBM Rational Business Developer setup, but got the following error;

Missing requirement: Jaspersoft Studio 1.0.0 (com.jaspersoft.studio.feature.feature.group 1.0.0) requires 'org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.doc.user.feature.group 0.0.0' but it could not be found

Any idea how to solve this...

[Print directly on AS400 (iSeries)]

It seems you need to use the IBM implementation of the Java Print Services.

I can print directly from iSeries now, only have some issues with fonts and some reports that cause a dump.

[Print directly on AS400 (iSeries)]

PRT01 seems to be a system attached printer, while the others are network printers (hence the fact that they support PCL printing).

I don't get that far unfortunately, PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null) returns an empty list on iSeries ???
 

[How to print to an OutputStream (PCL) ?]

Hi,

I've JasperReports running native on iSeries (AKA AS/400) generating PDF documents, however I also want to print these reports.  I looked at various topics about printing, but I can't find any method that sends the report to an OutputStream (which is what I need to send data to an iSeries printer directly).

If I use JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(print, myOutputStream) the printer ofcourse gets the PDF (which it doesn't understand, and so prints rubbish) instead of PCL5 data (which it would be able to print).

Is JasperReports capable of generating a PCL data stream (I would think it does because it can print on my Windows PC) ?

Thanks,
Paul
