JasperReports Server - jasper-reports

I need to know if JasperReports Server 5.5.0 has support for Report Books?
I need to create a Report Book and we have the 5.5.0 version of JasperReports Server.

Converting #jtsnr comment to an answer (community wiki)
Report books were added in jasper report version 6
However this does not mean you can't do similar in version 5, you just need to setup your own report structure.

unable to load crystal report in windows server 2012

I have created a web application .net 2008 with crystal report. I have deployed it in windows server 2012 64 bit OS. The server is installed with 3.5 and 4.0 .net frame work. The problem is, the crystal report is not displayed in the web page. It doesn't throw any error.
Thanks in advance.
In windows server 2012 it runs IIS 8. Previous versions of crystal report doesnt support IIS8. For running Crystal report for IIS 8 you have to install new
crystal report*(v. 13.0.6.x)*
on your win server machine. Please check following link for downloading crystal report.

Also, make sure you are using a supported browser version.

Is it possible to use two different versions of JasperServer with the same website?

Summary: is it possible to serve reports created with 2 different versions of iReports in the same web front end?
Background:
I have inherited a large number of (still-functioning) reports written using iReport 2.0.1 (migrating them all to a later version is probably not an option, unless anyone knows of a brilliant/quick solution). I want to increase our ongoing reporting functionality by creating new reports in a later version of iReport (at least 3.7.1, but ideally 4.x).
System Setup:
JBossAS 4.2.1 on Server A (with apache 2.x) with JasperReports 3.5.7 also running on Server A, responsible for reports 1-100
Question:
Is it reasonable/feasible to install JasperReports 4.x on Server B (knowing that it requires a different environment than earlier versions, & so cannot also run on Server A) and have (future) reports 101 and up, created using e.g. iReport 4.x, served JBoss on Server A but parsed by the JasperReports server running on Server B?
(It may not be relevant, but our database is Postgres 8.1.3)
Thanks!
There is a tool in the Jasper distribtion that can update your JRXML files to the latest version of the schema. If you're comfortable with Ant scripts try it out:
http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/antupdate/index.html
I used it sucessfully when we upgraded from Jasper 1.3 to 4.6.
Yes, it should work.
Reports working in JR 3.5.7 should also work in JR 4.2.1 (or even 4.5.0). Backwards compatibility is very good. (But it's not magically good... so you'll need to test.) You can set iReport to save to older .jrxml versions. And you would need to be careful to not use features that were introduced after 3.5.7.
You should at least test the brilliant/quick solution of just running the 100 reports in the later version of JasperReports Server. You might be pleasantly surprised to find that they just work.

Why does iReport keep adding tags that aren't supported and then crashing?

First, iReport is the worst reporting tool I've ever used.
Now to my question..... iReport keeps adding tags it doesn't support, which causes a bunch of errors.
tag
<band splitType="Stretch" />
Can some please tell me how to turn this auto coding off it's really driving me up the wall. It keeps screwing up my code.
Oh I'm using 3.5.2 and don't tell me to upgrade because I can't because of the version of jasper server.
I had this problem as well, but I changed the version I used back to 3.5.0 to match the version of jasper report server as well.
EDIT: In fact this is a known problem. The splitType functionality was introduced in 3.5.2, and this is incompatible with 3.5.0. You can see this in the Jasper server forums.
So your options are to use iReport 3.5.0 or to upgrade the jar jasperreports-3.5.0.jar to jasperreports-3.5.2.jar on the Tomcat server.
You can always use a newer version of IReport and set the compatibility to the version you use on the Jasper Server.

Crystal report error

I am developing a win application ( in .net 2005 ) in which i have to use crystal reports. But now it generates crystal query engine. Then I have to reinstall .net. Is there any workaround for this
This depends on the version of Crystal Reports you are using, but you might make sure that crqe.dll is properly registered on your machine by using regsvr32. Also, if you ever had a previous version of Crystal Reports on this computer, the problem could also stem from conflicting DLL version.
