I am having a problem in using a iReport.
I have a general master report and that master report contains 3 sub reports and also these each subreports contain subreport. While I am not having a problem in printing those 3 subreports individually and also their subreports in the preview mode of iReport, I can't print them while they are together in the master report in the preview mode. I have included all the parameters and fields needed for executing the query in every reports (I mean the subreports and their master report). However, no way! It doesn't work...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
I've seen this happen a few times, the preview wouldn't work, but when I tried to run the report from the application in my local workspace everything ran fine. I think the issue may be that the subreport doesn't have data and that causes problems. You may want to add print when expressions to the subreports so they don't run unless there's data.
The solution to the problem is to generate the sub reports from scratch, not by copying and pasting the similar report. In my case, the sub reports in the report look very much similar in many patterns so I have just copied one of them, pasted them on the main report and changed what is needed to be changed (such as fields, names or the queries inside them) on the pasted sub report. At first sight, while I am previewing the sub reports independently from their main report, they just look fine but while I am trying to preview the main report, the sub reports in the main report are not printed. So I accidentally (those times I were a novice user of the iReport) tried to generate the sub reports from scratch. (Scratch I mean: File -> New -> Launch Report Wizard -> Selecting the database I'd like to work on and entering the query which I'd like its results to have the datum to be printed on the report and so on) and by magic; the sub reports which are seemed to be not working, begin to work and get printed on their main report.
Thanks for all the replies...

I am currently generating an extent report in my autonomous Feature file. It generates the report, but it keeps appending the report of the previous test run to the new one. I wanted to know if this is a limitation. I'm able to delete the ExtentHtml.html file, but it still proceeds to append. Please help and Thank you in Advance. (Code is Internal so I can't share screenshots)
I am generating report using BIRT. The problem which i am facing is that date and time is automatically generated at each page in the report. I do not want those field to appear in my report. does any one know how to solve it
Your question indicates that you are a newbie to BIRT, so I'll explain a bit more:
The field is in the footer in the master page.
You can simply delete it if you don't want it:
Just open the master page tab of the main window, scroll down to the bottom, find the text element containing "new Date()" and delete the element.
When you create a new report, the wizard lets you choose a template.
The so-called "blank report" template isn't actually blank!
It contains very few predefined elements: Apart from some styles, the only visible element is the current date/time in the footer of the master page.
You could create your own "really blank" report template, if you like.
IMHO the templates are kind of superfluous.
Once you have developed a few reports, it is easier to copy a similar existing report and modify it than to create a new report from scratch.
BTW if you are going to develop more than a handful of reports, you should learn about BIRT's library concept, which is really useful to re-use components in different reports.
Go to the Master Page view of the .rptdesign window and you can remove the date there.
I'm working on Jasper Reports using JasperSoft Studio. I have a huge data set (around 50 million) that needed to be filled in the reports. I can able to get them with pagination.
But unfortunately while I try to export data in Excel/PDF formats where pagination cannot be applied as per the requirement, it is taking too long to load ANY data and the user has to wait until the report generation is over.
Is there any way to generate and send the data to the client and keep them adding there after? So that the user will know something is loading instead of make them to wait for long time.
I tried the settings given here, http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/534989/settings-required-generating-large-reports. But still It is loading the file altogether only and not in an expected way.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I am using JasperReports in my project. During the generation of reports, I am forced to retrieve data from different tables in the database. I have used subreports, but this solution is not satisfactory for me. Main reason for this is fact that for each report I have to prepare two jrxml files. For the assumptions of my project this is not effective.
Is there an alternative to subreports? If it is important I use Hibernate.
Mateusz, you can prepare data source manually in java code and pass is to the report.
Sometimes the good subreport's alternative is using group(s) in report.
At a higher level what are you trying to achieve ?
If the reason you're using subreports is to embed mulitple graphs/chart widgets that display different but related data, then an alternative way to doing this is using subdatasets
Innformation on using subdatasets can be found in iReport Ultimate Guide, but basically they are extra sub queries you can run in addition to the main report query, whose results can be access by Charts/Charts Pro widgets (see the chart data tab in these widget properties)
I am developing a reporting application where a user can select(and order) reports from a list of 100 reports and ask for a master report. This master report should contain all the selected reports in the exact order, with a table of contents listing the (sub)reports included in the master report and correct page number.
I am programmatically creating a MasterReport and adding the selected reports as sub reports to the MasterReport's report footer. Each SubReport's report footer has its pageBreakAfterPrint property set to true so that the subreports come on different pages. The page break seems fine in pdf and excel, but in word the page break has no effect.
However, I am not able to figure out how to add a table-of-content element programmatically to the MasterReport which will list all the subreports added. I would also like to know how to get the page number working properly on page footer programmatically.
I discovered that there is a separate jar that has the TOC code. However, I am still not sure how to use. This doesn't matter anymore as we are looking to move to BIRT.
