How to add new Exporter format to UI pages of scheduler in TIBCO JasperReports® Server 7.1.0

Issue Description

The TIBCO JasperReports^® Server Ultimate Guide's "Adding Custom Export Channel", https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-ultimate-guide/v710/adding-custom-export-channels , covers the customization for adding a new exporter format (aka channel) for ReportViewer, REST, and actual job execution, but it lacks discussion of steps to ensure the new format can be chosen in the UI of the scheduler

Resolution

Follow the steps in the guide, as indicated, in the viewReportBeans.xml and reportJobBeans.xml you'll want to basically mimic other pre-existing entries for exports.

The guide doesn't specifically mention this, but you need to add your new output format entries to the availableReportJobOutputFormats in applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml.

Then you need to edit and recompile a few source files. Both of these contain hard-coded values/constants:

1. jasperserver\jasperserver-api\engine\src\main\java\com\jaspersoft\jasperserver\api\engine\scheduling\domain\ReportJob.java

2. jasperserver\jasperserver-api\engine\src\main\java\com\jaspersoft\jasperserver\api\engine\scheduling\domain\jaxb\OutputFormatXmlAdapter.java

The edits above will need to match the naming conventions you used in WEB-INFflowsreportJobBeans.xml, and the numeric values from applicationContext-report-scheduling.xml. In earlier version you'd need to edit some of the htm templates, .jsp or .js files but now the values are pulled from the availableReportJobOutputFormats entries, so no any presentation layer parts need to be touched.
