Question

JasperServer Issues..

Asked by: chrobi

Hello all..... I am a recent Crystal Reports Convert, so forgive me for i know not what I do........

 

Ok so this is what I am trying to accomplish.  I have one report that I want to support multiple tables.  I want to be able to let the user select the tables at run time.   My SQL statement looks like this:

SELECT
*
FROM
$P{store}
WHERE
value_char != ''  AND server_time >= $P{Start} AND server_time <= $P{End}

order by cashier, value_char,server_time

 

 

It was working correcly before i tried to get fancy with the "$P{store}" in the from part.  
 

Am I smoking crack thinking that I can accomplish this?

 

Thank you in advance for reading my request.

Well I gave up on trying the fancy stuff.    So I moved the Select Statement to a stored procedure on MYSQL 5.0.45.  SO I rebuilt the report from the ground up and tested with the stored procedure.  All is good when I run the report in the IReport viewer using the stored procedure. When I uploaded to the jasper server it bombs with an error, this will be posted after the details on the report config and the server config.

 

The report has three input parameters Start_Date_Time (TimeStamp), End_Date_Time (TimeStamp), Table_Selection(Text)

The server has report unit with three input controls:

 

Start_Date_Time:  This input control has local defined Data Type configured as Date/Time.

End_Date_Time: This input control has local defined Data Type configured as Date/Time.

Table_Selection: This input control has local defined Data Type configured as Text.

 

When I run the report on the server I am prompted for my three inputs Start Date, End Date, and Table_Selection.  I enter the exact information that i had tested with in Ireport.  And I get the following error:

 

In the error log I see :

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Bad format for BigDecimal ' != "" ORDER BY


This tells me that i have a bad format, but I dont know what part  on the jasperserver to troubleshoot this any further.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Objects....the report worked just fine in the Ireports IDE.  What would change between the Ireport IDE and the server?

Thanks...

nothing 'should' :)
are the same versions of jars being used by both?

 

by: chrobiPosted on 2009-01-03 at 23:51:55ID: 23288885

Umm forgive me for asking how can i tell which jars are being use on the Ireporter and the Jasperserver?

 

by: chrobiPosted on 2009-01-04 at 01:19:38ID: 23288994

I have checked all the jar files and the all got the same filesizes and names....  I am not sure what i am looking for to say the files are the same...

Just in case some one else is out looking for something like this here is the solution:  

In my select statement :

SELECT
*
FROM
$P{store}  <--------THIS IS WHERE THE ISSUE IS!!!!  
WHERE
value_char != ''  AND server_time >= $P{Start} AND server_time <= $P{End}

order by cashier, value_char,server_time


It Should actually look like this:

SELECT
*
FROM
$P!{store}
WHERE
value_char != ''  AND server_time >= $P{Start} AND server_time <= $P{End}

order by cashier, value_char,server_time.

Thank you to       Gaby38 on the jasperforge forums for this answer.
