Scheduling a Report Task

Scheduling a report task using time condition

Scheduling a report task using trigger

The properties for scheduling reports are available in jet.cs.util.APIConst in the JReport Server Javadoc which is located in <install_root>\help\api.

Scheduling a report task using time condition

There is an API sample of scheduling a report which is APIDemoPublishRpt.java in <install_root>\help\samples\APIServer for your reference.

The following introduces how to schedule a report task in your program using time condition:

  1. Connect to JReport Server as follows:

    RptServer server = null;
    server = HttpUtil.getHttpRptServer();

  2. Set scheduling task properties. The following example publishes the report Employee Information List.cls in the Public Reports > SampleReports folder to PDF to disk: 
    // Set task properties
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TASK_CLASS, APIConst.TASK_TO_RPT);
props.put(APIConst.TAG_LAUNCH_TYPE, String.valueOf(APIConst.IMMEDIATELY));
    props.put(APIConst.TAG_CATALOG, "/SampleReports/SampleReports.cat");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_REPORT, "Employee Information List.cls");
    
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TO_DISK, "true");
    // TO Disk 
// Set the value of PDF for TO_DISK
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TO_PDF, "true");
    props.put(APIConst.TAG_PDF, "Employee Information List.cls.pdf");
    props.put(APIConst.TAG_REPORT_LANGUAGE, "en_US");
String today = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG, new Locale("en", "US")).format(new Date());
    props.put(APIConst.TAG_PDF_DIR, "/SampleReports");
  3. Submit and trigger the task as follows:

    String taskID = server.submitScheduledTask("admin", props);

  4. Get the task result:

    CompletedTaskTable completeTable = server.getCompletedTaskTable();

  5. Shut down the server:

    server.shutdown();

Scheduling a report task using trigger

There is an API sample of scheduling a report using trigger which is DemoTrigger.java in <install_root>\help\samples\APIServer for your reference.

The following introduces how to schedule a report task using trigger in your program:

  1. Connect to JReport Server as follows: 
    // get instance of RptServer
    RptServer svr = RemoteReportServerToolkit.getRemoteWrappedRptServer("127.0.0.1", "1129");
TriggerManager trigMan = svr.getTriggerManager();
String exTriggerName = "exTriggerDemo";
    if (!trigMan.contains(exTriggerName)) {
trigMan.createTrigger(exTriggerName, "an external trigger demo");
          }
  2. Set scheduling task properties. The following example publishes the report Payroll Report.cls in the Public Reports > SampleReports folder to PDF to the versioning system: 
    Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TASK_CLASS, APIConst.TASK_TO_RPT);
props.put(APIConst.TAG_LAUNCH_TYPE, String.valueOf(APIConst.IMMEDIATELY));
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TRIGGERS_LOGIC, "ONLY");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TRIGGERS_ARRAY, "exTriggerDemo");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_CATALOG, "/SampleReports/SampleReports.cat");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_REPORT, "/SampleReports/Payroll Report.cls");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TO_VERSION, "true");
props.put(APIConst.TAG_TO_VERSION_PDF, "true");
  3. Submit the task as follows:

    taskID = svr.submitScheduledTask("admin", props);

  4. Trigger the task as follows:

    Properties userData = new Properties();
    trigMan.fire(exTriggerName, userData);
