Designing a bursting report

To create a bursting report in JReport Designer, follow the steps below:

  1. Design a report and then click Report > Bursting on the menu bar to display the Bursting dialog. See the dialog.
  2. Check the Enable Bursting Report option.
  3. Click the New button next to the Schema Name box to add a bursting schema for the report. By double-clicking the schema name you can rename it as required.
  4. In the Mapping panel, create the mapping relationship between the bursting key and the recipient according to your requirements.
  5. In the Recipient panel, specify the recipient addresses.
  6. If you want to create another schema for the report, repeat steps 3 - 5.
  7. Click OK to apply the settings.
  8. Save the report and publish the report to JReport Server.

See also Bursting dialog for detailed information about options in the dialog.

Tip: When you finish designing a bursting report, you may want to check it with data. However, when you preview bursting report in JReport Designer, JReport runs the bursting report with all of the data, and if a large dataset is involved it may take a long time or run out of memory before completing. To avoid this from happening, you can limit the number of records by setting the Maximum Rows property of the query.

Reference: A sample report containing a bursting report tab named SaleStatForRegion.cls is provided in <install_root>\Demo\Reports\SampleReports.
