Currently in my work I started using ReportServer, I researched and apparently the way to create reports here is through other tools like JaspeReport, is this so?
I also have the need to generate a template (or background) that will change in this report, how is this done? Should I do it in JasperReport or ReportServer can do it?
JasperStudio by tibco is typically used to create a Jasper report. ReportServer is a BI server with which you can use different report formats (Jasper, Birt, Crystal) together in one server. At https://reportserver.net/en/documentation/ you will find a comprehensive documentation and at https://forum.reportserver.net/ a user forum for ReportServer questions.

I had downloaded the Microsoft SQL Report Builder and installed in my system. I designed the simple report with the help of Report Builder which contains one text box and saved it in D drive. Then I created the asp.net application and added the aspx page with Report Viewer. I had assigned the report to report viewer when I try to execute report is not loaded. I got the following error.
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2016/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded.. I hope I make it clear. Please do mail me if any one have Idea about this. MailId:sujibiit#gmail.com
i think its is possible.
There are a lot of websites that help out with this problem. You can refer SSRS 2016. here are some of the links i found useful.:

The report definition is not valid
hope this helps.
I am currently working on web application based on Angular JS,HTML5. I have a report section on the same where i am displaying the report data through API calls.
I feel that displaying reports through API call is not the best practice so i did some research and came across TIBCO Jasper reports and its looking fine till now.
What i have done till now is
Installed Jaspersoft Studio in my local machine.
Connected the same to my DB and generated JRXML file.
Uploaded the JRXML file to jasper server and generated reports from DB.
What i need to do is
I see i can generate reports in various formats from jasper server like pdf, excel etc.. How do i integrate this to my web page?
Please assist me on this and share your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Are you using the community or professional version? If you are using the professional version, you can use their Visualize.js library to access your reports from a web application. We have had success integrating Jasper reports into our Angular app, though we've found it to be pretty buggy and it has required several workarounds on our part.
We started by creating an Angular service that handles all the communication with Visualize/Jasper. Once you get all the service plumbing done, it's just a matter of creating an empty DIV tag with an ID and passing that ID to the Visualize function that generates the report. Visualize will handle the REST request to the Jasper server and automatically inject the JS and HTML returned into your empty DIV.
You can find more info on Visualize (including API docs) here:
community.jaspersoft.com/project/visualizejs
You can integrate JasperServer into your web app using iFrames with their HTTP API. This would allow you to reuse the UI that is part of JasperServer. It is possible to customize the look and feel of this UI using themes. More info here:

I'm pretty new to JasperReports, Jaspersoft Studio, and JasperServer but I've got a JasperServer instance up and running and have been using it to create reports from Ad Hoc views. This works well but I'd like to make some report templates so that reports run from JasperServer can have branded headers/footers etc.
I worked through this tutorial and was able to create what I thought was a fine template but when I try export it as a JasperServer template I get all sorts of validation warnings and indeed trying to run reports using it from the server results in errors.
Here's an example of the warnings I'm seeing:
The style ChartValueAxisTickFormat was not found in the template
And the errors I get on the server when trying to use these templates look like those described here. I have tried using templates without any text fields or variables though. In fact, the unexpected tokens it complains about are usually actual field ids... do I need to anticipate the fields that would be used when creating a template? Wouldn't this defeat the purpose of having templates for reports created from ad hoc views?
Anyway, there's quite a lot of information out there around creating templates for Jaspersoft Studio (iReport) reports but not a whole lot on templates for JasperServer reports.
It seems like there's something fundamental about templates for JasperServer reports that I'm missing. I'd appreciate any help with either the issues I am describing or being pointed toward better documentation for creating these templates specifically.
Edit:
I'm using Jasper Studio Profession 5.5.0.final on the desktop and a Jaspersoft BI Professional for AWS 5.5 instance as the server.
Report Template as in tutorial you have linked are for Jaspersoft Studio / static reports only. Adhoc templates are different types of objects which are described here
I have encountered the same errors, and I have solved it by simply adding a styles to my report, in other words:
In the outline of your report, Right click on Style -> create Style, then just change the name of the style by each name of missing styles apperead (for example, ChartValueAxisTickFormat).
After creation of 55 styles in your report template in jasper Soft Studio, save the report, then export it as report template.
I hope this will help you.
Good day everyone! Sorry for my english, it is not my native language.
I have a system with server, desktop clients and web-clients. System writing on .net, winforms, asp.net mvc. The end user needs to view simple reports in web-clients, change reports parameters and download reports in popular formats (doc, xls, pdf). Also they need to create and modify reports in our system. In ideal case - in web-client. If it hard or impossible - in desktop client.
I start to see in Crystal Reports side, but as I understand, Crystal Reports does't have build-in report designer. Or I wrong?
I will be very thankful for educating about CR and for recommendation other reporting system with build-in end user reports designer.
You can try our SharpShooter Reports. It suits all the requirements you've mentioned: WinForms, WPF and ASP.NET MVC components (even WinRT if you ever need it), end user report designer (desktop version), export to XLSX, PDF and others.
Moreover, it has multilanguage support and a good support team including Russian-speaking persons as well ;).
If you use Clear Reports then you can use the AdHoc reporting in the browser. See the online demo.
Or for professional users the remote designer. See the online demo.
Clear Reports can also read your existing Crystal Reports templates.
You should try DBxtra, it's very user friendly, given that you don't need to have knowledge of SQL or programming, given that it's drag and drop; althought if you have such knowledge you can do even more amazing reports.
I am using jasper reports in my project to generate html reports. But the generated reports are static. Now we want to add some interactive features in it, like simple sorting and searching of columns. This is preferably to be done the client side. How can this be achieved ? So far I have tried to embed jquery into the generated report with no luck. Does jasper report provide such kind of functionality?
Use parameters and re compile the report every time you want to filter the data.
With your meaning of the word "interactive", nope that is not possible. A report is only a report - a presentation medium that shows data in such manner that is required by the business rule. You can format data here. You can stylize it, add image and what not. A client side application is probably what you want.
Well, your exact requirement can be achieved if you publish the Jasper Reports on the Jasper Server. Once published, all your reports become interactive (For Charts, you must use the PRO charts and not the basic HTML charts but for tables, it works automatically.)
Once you publish it on the Jasper Server, the features that you get are:
Sort button with various types
Export the Report to many formats (PDF, XML, etc - more than 10).
Zoom IN and Zoom Out.
Bubble for your charts making them interactive, etc.
Yes, interactivity is possible in Jasper Reports, but the thing is that you need a Jasper Server Pro or Enterprise version for achieving this. If you are using a community version, it is impossible to create interactive reports. You can download the free trail pro version of jasper server for 60 days from this link https://www.jaspersoft.com/download
