I installed Jasperserver in my PC using the Bitnami installer. It automatically installed MySql along with Jasperserver. Now I am lost on how to proceed in getting my data in and start generating reports. Is there any good documentation(I do not want to buy their paid documentation) available on the web?
Thanks...
Jasperserver is mainly an application to manage and administer your report resources. It helps in making reports more accessible and provides an web-interface to manage and execute the them. For this purpose it comes with its own mysql-based repository that is used to store metadata about your reports. This repository is completely unrelated to your actual report data, which might come from a variety of different sources such as mysql-datasources, mondrian-datasources, xmla-datasources, oracle-datasources, etc. The repository stores for example:
report database connections
image resources used by the report
report parameters along with user input controls, that are used in the web-frontend to parameterize your report execution
the report definition in XML
...
For the creation of the actual report you use iReports, which can connect to the jasperserver to get all the aforementioned metadata information. You then design your report
using the parameters and the datasource provided by jasperserver. On completion you upload your finished report to jasperserver. From there you can execute it and display the result in either HTML or alternatively export it to PDF, XLS, etc. Jasperserver also takes care of the scheduling of reports at a given time.
In your concrete case you would probably do the following steps:
log into the jasperserver webadmin interface (jasperadmin:jasperadmin by default)
Create a database connection resource in the repository that points to your report datasource (can be oracle, mysql, postgres, ... ).
Create a new report resource, and set the connection to the one you just created
fire up ireport, connect it to you jasperserver instance and open the report from the repository
design your report in ireport
upload your report back to jasperserver
execute the report via jasperserver's web-interface
more information under http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperserver/docs
There is a whole bunch of documentation in the docs folder of the binary distribution. Also you have to understand that your data will not be in jasperserver. It can report off data in your database (whichever that is).
I would install iReport, start tomcat (and therefore jasperserver), connect to it in iReport and create a report.

Scenario: I have an IBM Domino web application (.NSF) and contains divisions (refer to the image). I want to migrate the content (such as blogs, main content and the article) to my WebSphere Portal. What is the first thing to do?
My understanding in migration is database to database migration and seems I don't know where to find the database for my contents knowing that database in creating domino application is built in. Advance thanks!
Refer to this image: http://postimg.org/image/irxsjdk8p/
The database is the NSF file - although it's possible that the information might be aggregated from several NSF files so you'll have to do some analysis. The first thing to do is to use the Notes client to identify the documents that contain the content that you want to migrate, check their properties to determine what NSF file they are stored in and what form they are based on, and then use Domino Designer to open the NSF file (or files, possibly) and analyze the form and determine which items contain the values that need to be migrated.
OK this is my question(s) and its SSRS 2005 and SQL Server 2005/2008
I had been tasked with rebuilding a dozen or so reports that our users use on their data systems. We just build them and since every DB instance is schematically the same for all our clients, we push the reports out to their report servers for use.
So modified a great many reports, but the reports have blown away the clients subscriptions. So every user that uses these reports, that can be a great many seeing as how everyone can have their own set of parameters, has to run the reports manually or redo their subscriptions.
My company would very much like to avoid that, but I can not figure out how to change a report, and even with the same parameter set going in as the last report, keep the subscription there.
Even when I copy the report down to their report server and replace the old with the new using same name. The subscription is still there, but it gets modified.
I am looking either for a way to push down a subscription as part of the report, so that they will have minimal input to their subscriptions in order to tailor it to their needs
--OR ideally--
Upload a new version of the report to their report server and just have the subscription apply to the newest report that I have put on their server
It doesn't really matter which one but the second is best seeing as how individual users use the reports with individual names as a parameter
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can point me to the way to manage out subscriptions on my side, or enable my reports to assume the subscriptions of same named reports on their server.
--edit--
Want to put a clearer picture out there
I have a master copy of a report. The users use the report on their own systems.
I do some heavy modifications to the master copy of the report, and upload it to their systems. using the same name and same parameter set as the original report.
I want the subscriptions on their report server to find this report using the same name.
so XXX.report has a subscription. I change it to XXX.report locally, and upload to their servers. The subscriptions are not synching though.
Thanks
I'm not sure how you're accessing SSRS but you can use the following webservice methods to download and upload report subscriptions
ListSubscriptions
GetSubscriptionProperties
GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties
DeleteSubscription
CreateDataDrivenSubscription
CreateSubscription
Using those methods, you use ListSubscriptions to get a report's subcriptions. The Subscription.IsDataDriven property will tell you if it's data driven or not. For data driven subscriptions, use GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperites to get the subscription properties, otherwise use GetSubscriptionProperties. All of those classes are XML serializable so you can save them to disk out of the box using the XmlSerializer.
To readd the subscriptions, use DeleteSubscription to delete the subcriptions one by one and then CreateSubscription or CreateDataDrivenSubscription to readd the subscriptions.
This is a hack though, because you should be able to modify reports without breaking the subscriptions. You should to the following to help diagnose the issue
Set SSRS logging to verbose for all components
Use the click once report builder to change the title of a report and see if the subscriptions break when you click save
Have the SQL profiler running on the ReportServer database to see what SQL is being generated when the subscriptions break
there's a tool called Reporting Services Scripter from Jasper Smith. I think it should work for you.
What I had to wind up doing was going back and change all the input parameters, including the sql content for the drop downs, back to what they originally were. Then playing with the SQL for the report to accept the new(old) parameters.
Thanks for your input. I accepted the web services answer as that is a path I will have to explore for our next update.

I have an SQL database - I need to back it up everyday (at a minimum) - preferably multiple times a day - automatically so it definitely gets done.
I'm running Windows which the SQL database is stored on.
What programs (prefer free ones) can I use to back it up - I'm completely new with SQL so if you're gonna explain something - do it in layman's terms thanks (:
It needs to get backed up to another server (on the LAN).
Auto Backup Database Using Maintenance Plans
Simple Step :
Go To SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Services > Run SQL Server Agent (Set it to Run Automatically)
Go To SQL Server Management Studio, Find TAB Management > Maintenance Plans. Right Click > Maintenance Plans Wizard.
Text your maintenance plans, ex: DailyBackup. Select Option button : Single Schedule for entire task.
Click Configure > Set Schedule according your demands.
Select Maintenance tasks. for this case, you choose Full Database backup.
Click Next, then define which database to backup, set backup location, and backup extension.
Click Next, Choose your report mode, then Finish.
There are many such programs at the moment, you can try EMS SQL Backup. It is not free but it is very handy for this type of tasks and supports backups compression, encryption and upload backups to FTP, network and cloud locations.

Edit SQL Extended Properties in SharePoint 2010
Hi everyone,
I know how to view/edit table data from an external SQL (non SharePoint) database from my SharePoint 2010 web front end.
However, I also want to view/edit the extended properties (metadata) as well.
How can I do this?
Thanks!
You don't make clear if you are wanting to access a SharePoint Database (not supported as NLV say) or a.n.other database via SharePoint.
I am assuming the latter.
There are lots of table viewer/editor web parts but I don't know of any that let you work with metadata so you're probably going to have to develop your own - this guide and this one are for a viewer but should give you a head start.
i have read this article about custom report items(CRI)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc188686.aspx
The only problem is that CRI are only usable in reporting service and not in local reports. My question is it possible some how to use CRI in local reports( RDLC ). Also i am interested in which version of reporting service is this possible, if possible
Best Regards,
Iordan
Custom report items are not supported in .rdlc files. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251712(v=vs.90).aspx) This is likely the approach taken by Microsoft because the ReportViewer used with these files is a free control, while more complex features like third-party controls are supported only on a full SQL Server report server.
One thing in particular I have done in the past to get around this is generate custom charts/controls/images etc. As images and then send them into the report as an image. Not an ideal solution but it works.
