[How to remove input parameters icon]

On a report-by-report and input-control-by-input-control basis, you can set them to be hidden by clearing the check from the Visible check box on the Report Wizard - Input Control page displayed when adding/editing a report's input control. To suppress them across the board, you could probably customize the default JSP for the report-running page, but I'm no JSP expert.

 

Hope this helps,

[JasperServer Pro 3.5]

The documentation you are most likely looking for would be the new info around organizations, roles, and users; you'll find that in the JasperServer Professional Administrator Guide. Take a look at the relevant sections of chapters 1, 2, and 3.

 

Hope this helps,

[How to use exitsing JDBC connections?]

To utilize an existing JDBC connection defined in your app server, create a JNDI data source in JasperServer that points to it. Click the Add Resource icon in the Manage>Repository view, and select Data Source. Select JNDI in the list of options.

[Documentation for JasperServer 3.1 & iReport 3.1.2]

JAsperServer OS has its own doc set included in the distributions.

 

As for iReport, a new version of the ultimate guide was posted to our eShop on 3/31/09:

www.jaspersoft.com/documents/store_ireport-definitive-guide.html

 

Thanks,

[Passing report parameters via HTTP interface]

The HTTP approach should work - you can simply append the param multiple times:

 

&my_param=value1&my_param=value2&my_paramvalue3

 

Home this helps,

[Dashboard crashes]

A better apprqoach might be to put the image in the correct location in the file system (for example, C:\Program Files\jasperserver-pro-3.5\apache-tomcatwebapps\jasperserver-pro), then create a Custom URL pane that calls the file. For example:

 

/my_image.png

 

Hope this helps,

[The differences with Jasper Analysis]

frankslin,

 

JasperAnalysis runs seamlessly on JasperServer, and adds support for the creation of analysis views. When compared to JPivot + Mondrian, JasperAnalysis offers an improved UI and integration with the reports you store in the JasperServer repository (put another way, I can write a report that passes MDX to an analysis view to create a drill through link from a JRXML to an analysis view).

 

Hope this help,

 

Kristen

[Only inner join supported in Domain designer?]

The Domain designer is definitely intended to handle outer and left joins as well as innner joins. I know that a defect similar to the behavior you describe was resolved by JasperServer Pro 3.0.2, so you can try upgrading to see if that fixes the problem.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[Another Drill Down Question.]

If I understand your question, you need to click Drill Through on the tool bar (its icon has a green arrow pointng downward), then click a value in the navigation table; JasperServer displays the transaction-level detail in a drill through table beneath the navigation table. An example is shown on page 20 of the user guide.

Thanks,

Kristen

[Jasper for Flash and xViewer]

I'm afraid there isn't enough information in tyhis post for us to answer. Also, this doesn't seem to be a question about the defimnitive or ultimate guide content; please repost this in one of the other forums - JasperServer or perhaps iReport.

Thanks,

Kristen

[Jasper Server Ultimate Guide Suggestion]

Clhubert,

 

Thanks for your input! So far, we've tried to avoid repeating freely available information in the ultimate guides, mostly because it might cause confusion.

 

We've just adopted a new documentation strategy that we hope will let us be a bit more flexible about where each feature is documented - stay tuned!

 

Thanks again,

 

Kristen

[Returning Values from a Subreport]

Thangalin,

 

Thanks for your feedback. This would be a great addition to the guide. I've logged it on the iReport tracker as an enhancement - you can view it here.

 

Thanks,

[JS 2.1 login.html modification]

Glad I could help out, and thanks for the tip on remaking the war - I should of thought of that!

[Date in Ad Hoc report title]

This functionality isn't supported in JasperServer Pro 2.1, though I think it's a clever idea. Thanks for suggesting it!

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[JS 2.1 login.html modification]

In the WEB-INFjsp folder, there are two JSPs for the login page:

• login_welcome.jsp is the new one (with links to JasperSoft's website)

login.jsp is the older version of the Login page.[/ul] Simply renaming the files (so that the older version is now named login_welcome.jsp) should do the trick.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[error for analysis view]

I'm not an expert on Mondrian schemas, so the best advice I can offer is to try loading this up in the JasperAnalysis workbench and troubleshooting it there. You can get the workbench from:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jasperserver/JasperAnalysis_workbench-1.0.zip?modtime=1178902969&big_mirror=0

 

 

 

Thanks,

[NoSuchConversationException for slow reports]

Hi Sid,

 

This seems to be a timeout issue - your session is being ended before the report completes.

 

You have a couple options:

 

- Schedule the report instead of running it directly. When the report completes, JasperServer can send you an email.

 

- Change the session timeout.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[about add-hoc report ??]

Ad hoc reporting is only available in the Professional version of JasperServer. An Ad hoc report is based on a Topic - a special JRXML that specifies the fields to return from your data source.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[scheduling job]

Purely conjecture, but this could be a simple case of not having assigned sufficient object-level permissions to the user running the job.

 

Check the object-level permissions on the report itself and those on the parent folder. Also check that the user has roles that are granted the right permissions for this report.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[jasperserver startup problem]

In another thread, Lucian wrote:

This is a known issue with JasperServer 2.0.1. Also see this for more details.

Might this be the same issue?

 

Thanks,

[change backcolor in a crosstab cell]

I've got a report that does this. Essentially, you'd create a style that specifies the color for cells whose value is less than 0, and create a conditional expression (by clicking Add under the Style conditions list on the Add/Modify style window.

 

Here's my expression (it turns a cell red when the cell's value is less than 500):

Code:

$V{OpportunityLineItem1_UnitPrice_Sum}.doubleValue() < 500.0 ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE

I do believe that's it, but I didn't create my report in iReport, so there may be something else you'd need to do.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[Input Control- Run/Test Individually?]

Hi,

 

I don't think there is a way to do this, but in my mind it's a completely valid use case - you might want to test input controls upon creation, just as you can test a new connection when you create it.

 

Can you please visit the tracker and log an enhancement? Here's the URL:

http://jasperforge.org/sf/tracker/do/listArtifacts/projects.jasperserver/tracker.feature_requests

 

 

Thanks,

[JasperServer pro vs JasperServer openSource?]

Hi,

 

Put simply, the Professional edition includes more functionality (such as ad hoc reporting and the ability to save analysis views), and is certified on more platforms than the Open Source edition. For more details, please refer to the Why Choose Professional section of this fact sheet:

http://www.jaspersoft.com/JasperSoft_Products.html

 

As to your question about Ad Hoc reporting, it's only offered in JasperSoft's Professional edition. It provides end users with an easy-to-use, drag and drop, web based report designer.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

[Change XML file]

Hi Clem,

 

You don't need to compile the XML - the server takes care of that for you. Once you've edited the XML (in a text editor or in the JasperAnalysis workbench), you can simply upload it to the JasperServer repository.

 

Thanks,

 

Kristen

 

PS - You can download the workbench here:
