Jasper reports server can be
installed with the ready installer package ,which is very easy task. But if you
want to run it on your own application server you can install it from the war
distribution.
Pre-Installation alert : Since the jasper server use many AJAX tools for UI, it requires more run time memory . The inbuilt server in the installer package is fine tuned for best performance. So its advisable to increase the pergem space of your server to get the best performance.
Download the following .
1) The Jasper reports server 5.0 war distribution can be downloaded from the following link
2) Database Driver . I used Mysql.
Download the JDBC
driver, mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar
3) Application server . Here i used Tomcat application server 7.x.x.
Set up JAVA_HOME in the environment variable
Setting
up Environment variable in windows

Adding
it to the class path

we can install the server in two
ways
1) Manual
2) Automatic installation
To install the jasper from WAR distribution
using the manual buildomatic steps:-
1)
Extract the war in the desired location.
2)
Copy the Mysql driver to the following location in the extracted
distribution.
<extracted location>/buildomatic/conf_source/db/mysql/jdbc.
3) Copy mysql_master.properties file from <extracted location>/buildomatic/sample_conf and paste it to
<extracted location>/buildomatic and rename it to default_master.properties.
4) Edit
default_master.properties file and change the following settings of database
server and application server according to your system.
appServerDir=[path to tomcat application
server]
dbUsername=root
dbPassword=password
dbHost=localhost
dbHost=localhost
5) Open the Cmd prompt
as Administrator (in windows ) SU (in Linux) and direct it to the
jasper server extracted location \builddomatic and run the following commands.
