  • 1.  Any experience running Jaspersoft on SQL Server 2016?

    Posted Feb 28, 2018 07:38 AM

    Hi. The infrastructure area of the company is going to upgrade his database cluster. Currently we are running CA PPM 15.3 + Jaspersoft 6.2.1 on a MS SQL Server 2014 (SP2) instance. The DB cluster will be upgraded to SQL Server 2016 in a while.

     

    We are aware that the official compatibility documentacion mentions SQL Server 2014 as the only supported database engine for Jaspersoft.

     

    Source: Release Notes (On Premise) - CA PPM - 15.3 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    But, as happened on other releases, this could be only a lack of certification and not necessarily a technical incompatibility.

     

    Do you have any succesfull experience running Jaspersoft 6.2.1 on SQL Server 2016 ?

     

    Regards

    Hi Juan,

    Based on the Jasper 6.2 documentation certification matrix, it looks like SQL 2016 is not mentioned, thus it is not currently certified.  The certification matrix can be found here:  Certification Matrix - CA Business Intelligence JasperReports® Server - 6.2.0 - CA Technologies Documentation 

    Thanks,

    Jon I.

    Thank you, Jon. Clearly is oficially not supported.

    But sometimes the lack of support is only a matter of time until CA certifies newer releases.

    So, we wonder if anyone could make Jaspersoft run on SQL 2016 despite this.
