How Report Builder connects to Progress DB? - progress-4gl

We are using XenApp to open Report Builder. Currently it's connected to the production server and connects with progress db.
Now we are in a process of moving to new production server.We need to make sure what are all the configuration files used to connect with report builder with that particuler production server.
Where are the server and db details defined in the report builder?
Are there any confiquration files used for Report Builder?
Current Progress version in production 9.1.

You need to look into your short cut/batch-file starting the report builder and refer to:

The settings can basically reside either in files (standard extensions .ini and .pf) or in the registry of your server (given it's a windows server which it most likely is since you're running report builder on it).

Copy List & Label server content from DEV to QA to PROD

Reproduce List & Label content in different environments.
I tried enabling List & Label API and use the methods, but input parameters need existing ParentFolderID, etc... which need to be explicitly created in server.
I am new with List & Label report server.
My requirement is to create all reports (data sources, etc...) in DEV server.
However to QA and PROD afterwards, there is a need to be able to 'export' all existing reports (data sources, etc...) from DEV.
My knowledge is more of Oracle BI Publisher.
In BIP server i have an option to download (zip) all the contents of a server folder (where i have all the reports) and i am able to log in another BIP server and upload the zipped file from original server.
This way i have exactly the same reports on all servers.
Is any sort of feature like it in List & Label report server?
Explicitly i need a kind of reports installer into List & Label report server.
Regards,

Currently, there is no such feature. The suggested procedure would be to copy the entire database from Dev to Production if your're working with the Report Server on both ends. Would that work for you?
Other than that, if you're designing your reports from a desktop app and want to transfer them to the Server, you could use the REST API of the Report Server. Here is a blog post covering the basics of this API. The setup also contains a sample ("C# Client API Sample").

connect Jasperreports community edition to another database server

Version - 6.0.1 (jasperreports-server-cp-6.0.1)
Is it possible to connect jasperreports community edition installed on a ubuntu server to another postgreSQL database server?. I have followed this
https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/connecting-jasperreports-server-yo....
When I try to create a data source (JDBC) , its showing nothing like in thedocument. It simply returns the blue menu (Library, view, manage)
Any help would be appreciated.
Assuming you want to report on a different database you have to create a new datasource. Select view->repository, right-click in the tree somewhere and create a new datasource. You have to have the correct driver available but it will already have the driver for postgres. Put in the connection details and save the data source.
When you upload a report to the server, you'll have to then associate the report with the datasource (edit the report properties). This is all covered in the documents you get with the install e.g. JasperReports-Server-User-Guide, JasperReports-Server-Admin-Guide

Run Birt Eclipse BI Report on local server or online

i have created a Report using Birt Eclipse BI tools. But i am trying to display this report on local server or online . so every one can see this by browser.
may it possible to run in browser in each machine of local.?
please report expert have a look.

If you need to provide webbased access to the reports, you can have a look at the Enterprise Reporting Server. The project is up on GitHub at https://www.github.com/stephanfeb/ers and you can download a prebuilt .war from http://www.computonium.com

How can i change datasource of a rpt report in Cystal Reports Server

I have 3 different machines with Crystal Reports Server XI R2 installed. They are at different subnets pointing to different oracle databases with same schema definition but different names (dev, test, production).
I got a rpt file created on the development environment, pointing to the "dev" schema.
All went fine. The report executed successfully.
When i got the same rpt and published it in the test server, i could not change the datasource location. It appears that the rpt file keep fixed the datasource that was used in its creation.
Anyone knows how can i change the datasource of a rpt file, making it independent of database location and independent of the database used by the designer?
Thanks
I assume from the question that the different Oracle databases have different database names, but the same schema name - something like OperationalDB on dev, test and live? (It's more complicated if they have different schema names.)
If so, then it depends on what sort of Driver you're using.
If using an ODBC driver, then simply set up different ODBC sources (pointing to the appropriate database) with the same data source name on each of the Crystal machines.
If using a native Oracle driver, then I suggest editing the TNSNAMES.ORA file on each of the machines so that they each have the same TNS name pointing to the appropriate database.
If using a native Oracle driver and you are unable to edit the TNSNAMES.ORA file (for example, if it is a shared network file instead of being located on each of the Crystal machines), then you will need to change the datasource location in the Report Designer (or via the API, if accessing Crystal through one) each time you transfer a report from one machine to another.

Support Crystal report for hosting server

I am running shared hosting server for asp.net application. I want to support for crystal report on my server. So that users web application use crystal report.
Can any one know what is the procedure to support crystal report on the server.
Thanks
The report-viewer control (as of XIR2) is COM dependent. Your hosting company will need to support COM and be willing to run the installation package to ensure that the correct registry entries are created. I'm sure that there are licensing issues for this, not to mention the extra burden added to IIS for report processing. You may want to consider BusinessObjects Enterprise.
