How to Download and Import a Package into the JasperReports Server

To generate reports, the package .zip files must be downloaded and imported into the JasperReports Server. A package (.zip) contains the Jasper Reports source code for respective databases, such as MySQL, Oracle, MSSQL, and DB2.

How to Download Package Files

Download the following appropriate package for your JasperReports Server.

To download a package, follow these steps:

  1. For current version reports, log in to https://basecamp.temenos.com/s/product-download?. You can obtain a user name and password from your sales representative or partner.
  2. Click the Fabric tab.
  3. From the Kony Metrics-Jasper Reports list, select the specific release and then click Download. The jasper-reports zip is downloaded to you local system.

    For example, if you want to download Kony Metrics-Jasper Reports 8.0.2, click the Fabric > tab, select the 8.0.2 version from the Kony Metrics-Jasper Reports drop-down list, and then click the Download button. The jasper-reports zip is downloaded to you local system.

  4. Extract the downloaded zip files. The jasper-reports zip folder contains supported database repositories (for MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL, and DB2) for JasperReports Server V 8.2 or V7.1.

    IMPORTANT: To avoid potential permission issues when running the script konyreports_import.bat (or konyreports_import.sh depending on the operating system), it is recommended to copy the jasper-reports-mysql folder to a location outside of the Desktop or its subfolders.
