Running Reports

You can use the following JSP's to run reports via URL: tryView.jsp, runReport.jsp, and run.jsp. However Page Report Studio and Web Report Studio have permission control, so in order to run reports in report studio you are required to have the Execute and/or Edit permissions on the reports.

The image illustrates the relationship between the JSPs:

tryView.jsp

This is the normal method of accessing reports using URLs. tryView.jsp can be used to run page reports and web reports to any allowed formats.

If the report has parameters and no parameter specified in the URL or the parameters provided in the URL fail to include all necessary parameters, the server then displays the parameter dialog for entering parameter values.

Below are some examples:

• Run a page report in Page Report Studio:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
• Run a page report in PDF format:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=2
• Run a web report in Web Report Studio:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
• Run a web report in HTML format:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=1

runReport.jsp

This JSP functions the same as tryView.jsp when the report has no parameters. When it has parameters, the report runs with the default parameters if no parameter values are specified, or else it runs with the parameters specified in the URL.

runReport.jsp can be used to run page reports and web reports to any allowed formats.

Below are some examples:

• Run a page report in HTMl format:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/runReport.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=1&&jrs.param$P_StartDate=2006-01-01&jrs.param$p_EndDate=2007-12-31
• Run a web report in Web Report Studio:
  http://localhost:8888/jinfonet/runReport.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8

run.jsp

run.jsp can be used to run page reports in Page Report Studio and web reports in Web Report Studio. When it has parameters, the report runs with the default parameters if no parameter values are specified, or else it runs with the parameters specified in the URL.

• The URL entry for running web reports in Web Report Studio is: webreport/studio/entry/run.jsp. For more information, see Opening Web Reports in Web Report Studio via JSON.
• The URL entry for running page reports and page report result files in Page Report Studio is: webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp. See the following examples: http://localhost:8888/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fCorporate Overview.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

run.jsp can also be used in the following scenarios:

• Running dashboards. The URL entry is: dashboard/app/entry/run.jsp.
• Accessing Visual Analysis. The URL entry is: webos/app/designer/run.jsp.
• Creating a web report via standard wizard way. The URL entry is: webos/app/webstudio/run.jsp?jrd_wizard=1&.
• Creating a web report via quick start way. The URL entry is: webos/app/webstudio/run.jsp.
• Viewing Page Report Result files in Page Report Studio.

In addition to the above JSPs, you can call the server servlet jrserver to run reports to any allowed format. However when you use servlet to run a report, JReport redirects the request to an appropriate JSP so it is recommended to use JSP to run the report directly. The following are two examples:

• Run a page report in Page Report Studio:
  http://localhost:8888/jrserver/SampleReports/SampleReports.cat/Corporate Overview.cls?jrs.cmd=jrs.web_vw&jrs.result_type=8
• Run a web report to HTML:
  http://localhost:8888/jrserver/SampleReports/SampleReports.cat/Sales Detail Report.wls?jrs.cmd=jrs.web_vw&jrs.result_type=1

For detailed information about the properties that are included in the URLs, see Appendix 1: URL Properties.
