[NoSuchConversationException]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it sounds like your session is simply timing out. By default, a session expires after 20 minutes. You can change this by editing the web.xml file in WEB-INF. Look for the <session-timeout> property.

[Create user directly in Jasperserver Repository]

There isn't a batch process in the web UI for creating users, but you might consider doing it programmatically via the web services, which include a putUser method.

[JasperSever Intergration]

If you can access your data via JDBC, then JasperServer won't have any problems accessing it.

For most purposes, your developers probably only need iReport to develop your reports. They would only need JasperServer if they needed to customize the server's UI or functionality. To push reports to the server, you can use iReport's JasperServer plugin.

If you plan to use Ad Hoc, you'll need a Pro license.

[image resource / not found]

> - does the recource-name must be the same as the filename ? (wood.jpg instead of wood?)

Yes, you need to specify the exact file name, including the file extension.

> - Is this a real Upload of the JPG ?

I'm not sure how you mean "real" but I think the answer is "yes."

> - Where do I find the uploaded files in Unix-Filesystem ?
>      or is it imported in the SQL-database

The file is stored in the RDBMS that you specified during installation.

[Is it possible integrate jasper with the josso ?]

It hasn't been tested, but since JS relies on Srping, and josso.org says JOSSO integrates with Spring, it should be possible.

Here are a cou[ple links to info on the JOSSO site:

http://www.josso.org/confluence/display/JOSSO1/Spring+Security+%28ACEGI%29

http://www.josso.org/confluence/display/JOSSO1/Spring+Tomcat+5.5

Let us know how it goes!

In your JS Pro eval installation, look in the docs directory for the user guide. Chapter 7 discusses the DomEL language's syntax.

[Jasper Analysis with web services.]

JasperAnalysis doesn't include a web services interface. The closest alternatives might be the OLAP Connection Java API and the OLAP Cache Java API. These APIs are described in the JasperServer Ultimate Guide and the Mondrian Technical Guide.

[problem with date parameter in JS3.7]

I replied to your comment in the other topic about the same issue:

I suggested a workaround there.

[Jasper Professional-Date Picker Not working]

sup03: the issue you report has been reported by other users and is currently targeted to be fixed in a future release. A possible workaround is to  to create an alternate sitemesh decorator, but we're getting way out of my area of knowledge.

I repost something I found that may be helpful to you (though I fear I don't have the skills to help you with it further than that...).

Thanks,

Kristen

This is basically how sitemesh decorator works:

Code:

\jasperserver-pro\WEB-INF\decorators.xml                           |                           points to                           |                           |--->\WEB-INF\decorators\main.jsp                                                     |                                                     points to                                                     |                                                     |--->\WEB-INF\decorators\decorator.jsp

To create a parallel sitemesh decorator:
1. in \WEB-INF\decorators\main.jsp, add a switch like below

Code:

<c:choose> <c:when test="${param['ANY_KEYWORD'] == 'true'}">     <%@ include file="alternate_decorator.jsp" %> </c:when> <c:otherwise>     <%@ include file="decorator.jsp" %> </c:otherwise> </c:choose>

2. make a copy of decorator.jsp and rename it like "alternate_decorator.jsp" or any other name.
3. with a text editor open "alternate_decorator.jsp" and delete what you don't want to be displayed.
4. add also <jsp:include page="/cal/calendar.jsp" flush="true"/> between <head></head> tags.

The advantages of this workaround are:
- JasperServer's decorator stays clean and you can modify as much as you like your alternate_decorator.jsp
- Whenever you need alternate_decorator.jsp, just add &ANY_KEYWORD=true to your URL (don’t use &decorate=no at the same time). It will use your alternate decorator

[Jasper Professional-Date Picker Not working]

Have you made any customizations to the JS interface? A change to WEB-INF/calendar.properties might cause the date picker to fail.

Also, can you explain what you mean by "gives trouble"? Is it returning an exception, having a problem redrawing the page, or some other issue?

Thanks,

Kristen

[Jasper Professional-Date Picker Not working]

Does this problem happen only for specific reports? Can you reproduce it with one of the sample reports? For example, look for the Customers Report; it's got two date-based input controls (I set them to 1990-06-09 and 2010-06-03 to get results in the report).

I also wonder if it might be a problem with localization; what language is the UI presented in?

Thanks,

Kristen

[Jasper Professional-Date Picker Not working]

I've never run into this, but maybe some details on your implementation will shed some light:

 - What  version of JasperServer?

 - What language is the UI presented in?

 - How did you create the report?

Thanks,

Kristen

[Currency formatting]

In my browser, the Euro symbol you show in your resource bundle isn't rendering properly, so I wonder whether it's encoded for ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1).

By the way, I can't say that your problem is caused by version compatibility issues, but JasperServer doesn't necessarily work with versions of iReport with high version numbers. JasperServer 3.7.0 was tested with iReport 3.7.0, so there may be compatibility issues.

Thanks,

Kristen

[Jasperserver excel export issue]

Excel export can be configured for individual reports or at the server level. Here's a link to the configuration reference:

Look for the section on report export.

[jasper server ignoring timezone setting?]

Which dates do you mean? Modification dates in the repository, or perhaps dates returned by reports? If the latter, what kind of data source are you using, and how is it configured?

Thanks,

Kristen

[Newbie question concerning Dashboard]

Dashboards are editale after creation, so long as you have the right permissions for the dashboard. In the repository, right-click the dashboard and choose Open in Designer.

As for input controls, they are automatically added to the Special Content > Single Report Controls or Special Content > Multiple Report Controls. As taras points out, you need to define the input controls in your report (they should map to paarameters defined in the report), and then they are available when the report is added to the dashboard.

Of course, all this applies to the Pro/Enterprise editions of JasperServer. You can find more detail in the JS User Guide and JS Ultimate Guide.

Thanks,

Kristen

The corrected schema is attached. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'll get it corrected in the ultimate guide, too.

Thanks,

[Section A.2 FoodMart Sales OLAP Schema:bad schema?]

Development confirms that this schema example is missing its TABLE reference for the fact table. I'll try to post the corrected example soon.

[How to get data through a web server]

I can't speak to how you would customize JS Community to handle this case, but I will take the opportunity to plug the new auditing functionality in JS Pro 3.7. Essentially, JS Pro can collect this kind of information; it includes a Domain (metadata about the database tables that store the audit info), which you can create reports against. JS also includes some "canned" reports that run against the audit Domain, which may address your needs; if not, you can use them as a basis of your own work.

The Pro eval is available here:

[Simple question]

uridium wrote:

JasperAnalysis the tool I need for managing cubes, dimensions etc.

Jaspe Analysis is exactly what you need!

You'll want the JA workbench you also asked about for defining your cubes (&etc); you can then upload the schema to JasperAnalysis (including associating it with e data source) and create an analysis view that points to your schema and includes an MDX query.

The steps are in the JasperAnalysis user guide -- see chapter 3. Good luck!

Thanks,

Kristen

[run schema workbench]

The workbench is a different package than the server package. You can download it from here:

sourceforge.net/projects/jasperserver/files/JasperServer/JasperAnalysis-Workbench-3.5.4.zip

To install it, simply unzip it.

To run it, use the .bat (Win) or .sh (Linux) in the root of the folder where it was unzipped.

Thanks,

Kristen

[Section A.2 FoodMart Sales OLAP Schema:bad schema?]

It's odd. I'm able to load the schema into JasperServer and create views against it with no problem, but I'm getting an error from the workbench (v3.5.4) when I try to load the schema there. I'm not sure if it's a bad schema or a problem with the workbench's validation mechanism. I fiddled with the schema a bit, but I wasn't able to find a quick fix to the schema. 

I've logged a defect for this in our internal system. Note that you can use the full foodmart schema, which is available in your JS install under samples/schemas.

Thanks for pointing this out, and sorry for the long delay in replying,

Kristen
