Jaspersoft studio and Jaspersoft server are separate applications which can be installed separately and integrated together. Jaspersoft Studio can be integrated with Jaspersoft server and allows to access and modify the resources. The following are steps to integrate Jaspersoft studio with Jaspersoft server: • In the Repository Explorer section of Jaspersoft Studio Server can be added by clicking on “Create JasperReports Server Connection” which displays the “Server Profile Wizard”. • Server name, URL, username and password can be entered, and the connection can be tested and created. • The server setup from the Jaspersoft studio is a onetime process and once done reports, subreports and other resources like images can be published from the Jaspersoft studio. Integrating Jaspersoft studio and Jaspersoft server provides the following benefits: • The same data source used in the Jaspersoft studio can be created in the server also and can be mapped when publishing the report. • For LOV parameters, corresponding Input controls with respect to the parameters can be created in the server and can be mapped to the reports once published. Similarly, all the resource files like images, fonts, JAR files, Style sheet templates, Resource bundle files and input controls can be created […]

The main purpose of Jasper-Reports is to create page-oriented, ready to print documents in a simple and flexible manner. The creation life cycle has the following distinct phases: • Designing the report: User creates the JRXML file, which is an XML document that contains the definition of the report layout. • Compiling the report: JRXML is compiled in a binary object called a Jasper file (*. jasper). This compilation is done for performance reasons. Jasper files are what user need to ship with their application in order to run the reports. • Executing the report: Data from the application is filled in the compiled report. The specified Jasper class provide necessary functions to fill the data in the reports. A Jasper print file (*. jrprint) is created, which can be used either to print or export the report. • Exporting the report to the desired format: User can export the Jasper print file created in the previous step to any format using JasperExportManager. As Jasper provides various forms of exports, hence with the same input, we can create multiple representations of the data.

A sub-report is simply a report composed of its own JRXML source and compiled in a Jasper file. Creating a sub-report is very similar to creating any other report. The margins of a sub-report are usually set to zero for sub-reports because a sub-report is meant to be a portion of a page, not an entire document. The horizontal dimension of the sub-report should be as large as the element into which it is placed in the parent report. There are three steps to creating and adding a sub-report: • Create a report – Create a parent or master report that will contain the sub-report. • Create a sub-report – Create and compile a sub-report. Optionally create a dynamic connection to filter the records of the sub-report based on the parent’s data. • Add the sub-report to the parent report – Insert a sub-report element and specify the following: o The data adapter or data source for the sub-report. o The location of the sub-reports compiled Jasper file. o An optional parameters map (it can be empty) to set the report parameters used in the dynamic connection.

Crosstab reports contains tables that arrange data across rows and columns in a tabular form. Crosstabs can be used with any level of data (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio). Data Grouping in Jaspersoft Crosstab: The crosstab calculation engine aggregates data by iterating through the associated dataset records. In order to aggregate data, one needs to group them first. In a crosstab, rows and columns are based on specific group items, called buckets. A bucket definition should contain: • bucketExpression − The expression to be evaluated in order to obtain data group items. • comparatorExpression–The expression is to use for ordering the values. If no expression is present, the default ordering for the data type is used • orderByExpression− Indicates the value used to sort data. DataTerrain with years of experience and reliable experts is ready to assist. We have served more than 200 plus customers in the US and an additional 60 plus customers worldwide. We are flexible in working hours and do not need any long-term binding contracts.
