Hello all, I'd like to install iReport for use in our omca tenant. I'm looking for is information on where I should install the iReport software and run it from. Does anyone have an example you would be willing to share? In the documentation, I found these two pages: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Notes+on+report+authoring+with+iReport and http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+add+a+new+canned+report+-+DRAFT Thanks!

Hi Al, iReport can be installed and run from anywhere. It's an application that'll aid you in creating the report scripts that will be later installed and run from within your CSpace instance. That said, I generally run it on my work machine and go through the process of connecting it to a local/development CSpace PostgreSQL instance that has some test data in it, which can be on any server that is set up to allow remote access to the db. The wiki docs give instructions how to set this part up. I believe iReports has a wizard to guide you through the connection steps and will also test the connection to check that it works. I think you should try the reader@mydomain.foo with the 'reader' password as a first step. Hope this helps. - Jesse On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 7:14 PM, Al Bersch <abersch@museumca.org> wrote: > Hello all, > > I'd like to install iReport for use in our omca tenant.

At a quick glance, Al, it looks like the first of those two documentation page is - if a bit crude - reasonably up to date, while the second is outdated. I'll make a notation on that second page to that effect, referring to the first. I don't know if there's any particular location on your disk to which installing iReport makes the most sense, but my colleagues who use it regularly may wish to comment. My uninformed hunch is that this may simply be dependent on your operating system and personal preferences. As mentioned in the first of those two documentation pages, CollectionSpace is currently using library code from Jasper Reports 5.0.1. My naive understanding is that this means that you should also download and use iReport Designer 5.0.1, which you can find at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ireport/files/iReport/, but again, you might wait until my more knowledgeable colleagues respond to confirm or debunk this belief. Aron P.S. We're attempting to stay current with Jaspersoft's releases, and I'll make a JIRA issue to get us up to the current 5.2.0 release in CollectionSpace 4.1, a release slated for later this fall.

Hi Al and all, I've made heavy use of iReport in the last 2 month, and I use it the same way as Jesse does. IReport is installed and run on my computer (Windows system). I build reports on my computer and test it local with remote data from CS server. When ready, .jasper files are copied on CS server. That's a quite simple process.
