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:

We can export all content as follows:

js-export --everything --output-zip myExport.zip

That command will export all the content: roles, reports, users, etc.

Now to import it back, use the following command:

js-import --input-zip myExport.zip

Both of these scripts are located at:

Windows:

<js-install>\buildomatic\js-import.bat

<js-install>\buildomatic\js-export.bat

Linux:

<js-install>/buildomatic/js-import.sh

<js-install>/buildomatic/js-export.sh
