In this section we will perform several procedures with jasper reports and observer several situations.

Before we start, be sure to install ANT package:

[root@TainBITestnewTrial ~]# yum install ant

Otherwise, you will recieve the following error:

[root@TainBITestnewTrial ~]# /opt/jasperreports-server-7.9.0/buildomatic/js-export.sh --everything --output-zip jasperReports.zip
WARNING: No bundled Ant found (../apache-ant or ../../apache-ant). Using system Ant
/opt/jasperreports-server-7.9.0/buildomatic/js-ant: line 41: ant: command not found

And be sure to run the command from the script's location (e.g. /opt/jasperreports-server-7.9.0/buildomatic/ in my case)

Sometimes, when we migrate a jasper server, we will want to export our reports and schedules. To do that, we can use either:

• Web interface
• Command line

Let's do it with Command Line:

From 7.5, we have to include secret key, keyalias and keypass, if we wish to migrate data between Jasper Servers:

We can export all content as follows:

[root@TainBITestnewTrial buildomatic]# ./js-export.sh  --genkey --keyalias mycustkey --keypass "mykeypw2" --everything --output-zip jasperReports.zip

That command will export all the content: roles, reports, users, etc. and it will generate also secret key and key alias, which you need to use during the import:

Now to import it back, use the following command:

[root@TainJasperBI buildomatic]# ./js-import.sh --input-zip /home/andonovj/jasperReports.zip --secret-key "0x9e 0xa3 0xfb 0x13 0xf9 0x4a 0xa0 0x6f 0x6f 0x81 0x0b 0xa9 0x6e 0x57 0xce 0x9d"
