Errors running reports that I imported from 4.5 to 4.7

[pumaking]

 Hi,

I set up da test environment for the new 4.7 Server version. There I imported my repository from my 4.5. produtive installation with the js-import script.

I didn't have any errors when importing and in the beginning everything seemed to work fine. But for particular reports I now encounter the following error message when I run these:

Error Message

I also tried to edit the report with IReport 4.7 and saved it with the 4.7. compatibility settings but that didn't help either.

I also tried to save the reports again with IReport 4.7 set to "last version" compatibility in 4.7 server, but the error remains.

I no tried to use another way to upgrade to 4.7. I set up a new server and installed 4.5. Then I imported my existing repository from my productive 4.5. installation with js-import.

This worked well and all reports seem to work fine.

Then I upgraded the 4.5 installation to 4.7 with the WAR-file installation as described in JasperReports-Server-CP-Install-Guide in chapter 9.

The problems that I mentioned above are also there with this method so this also didn't help.

Any idea on this? At the moment I'm not able to upgrade to 4.7 productive with these errors. 

It would be nice to do so because then e.g. the bug with empty scheduled reports should be fixed.

Im encounterig similar issue after upgrading server - iReport compatibilty.  I am getting the very (frustrating) javaNULL.exception error

Were you able to resolve you issue?  If so, can you give me some ideas to research on my end?

 

To be exact:  This is my exact error:
