We are exploring Jasper reports to replace our current reporting engine. Our data source will be REST APIs, and we'll be needing to join multiple tables. I came across the CData JDBC driver for REST, and it seemed apt for the purpose.
I have created a JDBC data adapter using the CData driver, with a JSON file as a source which has data for 2 entities - users and posts.
Then I created a report with this data adapter to display fields in a table. The data is a result of join query on both the entities as below -
SELECT users.name,users.username,users.email,users.website,posts.title FROM users join posts on users._id = posts.userId
Below is the data adapter configurations -
CDataDataAdapter.xml
<jdbcDataAdapter class="net.sf.jasperreports.data.jdbc.JdbcDataAdapterImpl">
<name>CDataDataAdapter</name>
<driver>cdata.jdbc.rest.RESTDriver</driver>
<username />
<password />
<savePassword>true</savePassword>
<url>jdbc:rest:Format="JSON";URI="D:/Documents/ToJasper/SampleJoinJson.json";XPath="/posts;/users";DataModel="Relational";JSONFormat="JSON";SSLServerCert="*";Logfile="D:\Documents\Tasks\ToJasper\cdata-driver.log";Verbosity="4";Location="D:\Documents\Tasks\ToJasper\Schema";FlattenObjects="False";GenerateSchemaFiles="OnStart";RowScanDepth="10";</url>
<database />
<serverAddress />
<classpath>I:\Program Files\CData\lib\cdata.jdbc.rest.jar</classpath>
<classpath>I:\Program Files\CData\lib\rssbus.jar</classpath>
</jdbcDataAdapter>
The data is fetched the rendered in the report, but the problem is it gets repeated.
The table is repeated in the report 5 times, 4 times with full data, and one time with only column headers. I cannot understand why, any help is greatly appreciated.
I got the answer here - https://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/904196/same-detail-shown-multiple-times-page-and-multiple-pagesireports-well-jaspersoft
I added the table component in the Detail band instead of Summary band. Quoting from the answer above -
"Where did you put the table and chart element in the report? They should be placed in SUMMARY section, not detail section. JR report detail band is called for each row fetched into report. If you have 100 rows, it will display information in the detail band 100 times each with details of that row. Tables and charts gather and tally all your data to display and should be placed in the summary band thus have them displayed only once."

I am creating a report which will allow me to reprint invoices using information from two different tables from Sage 300 accounting/job costing sofware.
I have one table that has an invoice number of "123456" and another table that has an invoice number of "SM123456" referring to the same invoice. The second tables adds the "SM" so that it knows that the invoices was sourced from a particular module. Is there any way to link these?
I have tried creating a report with a formula to remove the SM from one of the tables so that it can be linked to a subreport. However the subreport that I want to print is already using subreports and the second tier subreports are not printing data that is needed.
I am open to any other suggestions.
Thank you,
I am working on developing an SSRS report.I have a table in which student name and 6 subjects marks is stored in each row. My problem statement goes like this ---> lets say if 10 rows of data is present in table then I want to create report card/ marksheet for each student in new page but inside a same report. (I.e. 10 pages in one report). Then convert the report containing 10 pages to PDF format and save it in some folder.
Can anyone show some possibilities to achieve my problem statement.
Thanks in advance....
Usually you'll want to use a List object to separate your report by student. You would group the list by student in your report. Then set a Page Break in the List with the location to Between each group so that it separates each student into a separate page.
Then you can put charts, tables and other object inside the list and it will repeat with the list group (in your case, each student).
MSDN: Lists
In this report I made below, the List is highlighted in Red and groups by each site. It just has a table inside. When it's run each site gets it's own page with a list of their people.
Keep in mind that a List is actually just a Tablix with only one data cell - with the column and row headers removed.
I have a JasperReports's report already implemented using below data structure which prints a main record along with its subreport records. The main and the subreport are placed in the same detail band and the subreport uses the JRBeanCollectionDataSource($F{employees}) as its data source expression $F{employees} being the collection field on the main report data type Company.
Company
Name
Location
Employees
Employee
ID
Fullname
etc.
The question is if there is an option in report to repeat the main report columns (Name, Location..) for each subreport record I have for a certain Company?
Basically, I need repeated records in the main report.
I know this is ugly and may look pointless but that is the Business Requirement! Most importantly, I don't want to touch the existing data structure as it's more complex in real case than my example.
Any hint (could be even a hack in JasperReports) is highly appreciated.
Note: I'm using iReport 3.7.3 editor.
Good people of stack overflow.
I am stuck on this one.my crystal report is using a joined query
str = "SELECT invoices.voucher,
invoices.customer_name,invoice_details.item_name,
invoice_details.Amount FROM invoices
LEFT OUTER JOIN invoice_details
ON invoices.voucher =invoice_details.voucher "
The crystal report is grouped by voucher and the details are placed on detail section of group details to display item name and item amount.
It is working perfectly in design.
However at run time in VBNET when i select exactly the same query i get repeating line items. Example if the invoice items in invoice_details table were three in my report the three items will be repeated three times.
I have checked all over the internet for the same complain. No luck.
Someone suggested "suppress if duplicate" on an item with unique number such as voucher number. I did not get success.
Has someone met this difficulty and can you suggest how to resolve this?
If it can be of help to someone else...
My difficulty in duplicating line items was coming from using two tables, invoices and invoice_details when designing the crystal report.
And then using the link feature at crystal report design.
I had not realized i ought to have designed crystal report using a stored view (access query from the database). While using the stored view i did not do any linking at designing report but used grouping expert to group by invoice numbers.
So the report finally worked well after much frustration.
Situation
I got stucked to some weirdo in Crystal reports. See the image below of my RAW RPT.
Everything in my report is coming fine except the details part. You can see there DetailsSection6, in which i have few columns(10-15). This rpt is binded with the XSD file and that XSD is then binded with its concerned dataset at runtime. Dataset has around 10 tables from which two tables are concerned here.
PROC_CONS_SUBBILL_REPORT - Header Table with single row.
CON_T_SUBBILL_DTL - Detail table having multiple rows based on the VoucherNo of above table.
What I want
I need to display all records of detail table in tablular format based upon the VoucherNo. Say in detail table (SUBBILL_DTL), I am having 25 records, but when table is rendered on the rpt, its starts repeating itself, sometimes twice sometimes thrice.
Kindly note:
My SP is returning the expected and correct data
RPT has 5-6 SubReports and in one report PROC_CONS_SUBBILL_REPORT table is used.
There is no Relationships in the report in the form of keys.
What I did
Tried removing all keys between the tables.
Suppressed the Detail Section but it suppresses the entire data.
Suppress the detail section with formula
{CON_T_SUBBILL_REPORT.CODE}=previous( {CON_T_SUBBILL_REPORT.CODE})
but still its not working.
I am totally lost. Kindly help.
Normally records are duplicated when the linking is wrong, In your case instead of formula try to use the option Select Distinct Records under Database tab.
This is a little late, but in case somebody else is looking for an answer.
I tried all the things above and nothing worked. Crystal reports was changing my query.
It worked in SQL Server but not in Crystal Reports.
The way I fixed it was by creating a view of my query on Sql Server and using the view
in my Crystal Report. It fixed everything.
