Does Jasper Report studio reports 6.1v can run in the new Jasper Server 8.0.1v?

We have the JasperSoft Server 6.1 version and we run the reports in there, but we want to migrate them to the new 8.0.1v. Does anyone have complications or face something similar?

Hi gab_Ipc, you shouldn't face issues when migrating to a new version if you follow the right steps to upgrade. Fyi, your Studio reports are already backward compatible, and you don't need to change them to make them work in the new version. 

Your configurations and customization done in the old version would have to be reported to the new version. Below are the basic steps for an upgrade : 

1. Export your repo from the old version 
2. Identify your configurations and customizations in the old version 
3. Install the new version 
4. Adapt your configurations, and customization and report them to the new version 
5. Import your repo in the new version
6. Test. 

Don't forget to join our Dr. Jaspersoft session this month when we will be talking about JasperReports Server: Best practices. See here for more info. 

For the Studio application, you can use a different version of Studio than your version of the Server but we don't recommend it.
