  • 1.  JasperSoft - automatically running using HTTP API

    Posted Sep 21, 2016 04:06 AM

    As per https://communities.ca.com/message/241915079?commentID=241915079#comment-241915079 , we are now attempting to use HTTP API to JasperSoft, and to automatically have the JasperSoft report run, rather than the user pressing the 'Apply' button.

     

    I understand that the set-up of the JasperSoft report can be achieved by unticking the 'Always prompt' the 'Controls and Resources' tab of the Edit JasperSoft area.  We don't want this as staff can still run the report for JasperSoft and already have had staff complain that it takes so long to complete as it attempts to produce the report for all projects.

     

    Has anyone found an jasperSoft HTML API option that specifies the report to run?

    If it's taking too long to run, consider reviewing your filters passed in the url and or your query might need to be optimized.

     

    To make it run, remove all the input controls.  The params can still be passed through the url if you have any. 

     

    You can also specify the report to auto export into pdf, or ppt as well.  Check the documentation.
