Advanced panel

This panel allows you to configure the advanced settings of JReport Server. See the panel.

The options available in this panel are as follows:

No Security Check

Specifies whether the server responds to all the requests without security checking.

Enable "Publish to Versioning System" for Background Tasks View

Specifies whether to generate the hyperlink Publish to Versioning System in the view page when you run a report on the JReport Console page. Click this hyperlink to save the report result as a version.

Keep Connection Alive

Specifies whether to keep the connection alive. By default, this option is checked. When connections are established to the JReport Server at runtime, you can choose either to keep the connections alive or to close them. If you uncheck this option, the connection will be disconnected once the HTTP request has been responded to. That is, Internet Explorer will not hold the open connection.

Prompt Message When Server Task Queue Is Full

If checked, a message will be prompted asking you either to place the task in the waiting queue or to cancel it when a task cannot be run in JReport Server immediately due to the task queue being fully occupied.

Prompt Message When Page Report Studio Action Queue Is Full

If checked, a message will be prompted asking you either to place the action in the waiting queue or to cancel it when an action cannot be performed in Page Report Studio immediately due to the action queue being fully occupied, or simply showing that no more action can be held at the moment when the waiting queue is full.

Enable Multiple Users to Login Using the Same User Name

Specifies whether multiple sessions created by one user can exist simultaneously. By default, this option is checked and one user can log onto JReport Server repeatedly without having to terminate former sessions until the session number reaches the number permitted by the license. If this option is unchecked, only the newly created session will be active, and all the other former sessions created by the same user will be terminated by the server automatically.

Enable Resources from Real Paths

Specifies whether to enable getting resources from real paths.

Enable Task Duration

Specifies whether to enable setting a time duration for a task and asking JReport Server to cancel the task or to notify you or someone else of the task status via e-mail if the task has not yet finished running when the task duration is up.

If this option is checked, the Duration tab will be available in the Advanced Run and Schedule dialogs.

Enable Linked Catalog

Enables to predefine a linked catalog at server level for the My Components, Public Components, My Reports and Public Reports folders to inherit.

If you have set a linked catalog here, these folders can inherit the linked catalog from the server level once their Enable Linked Catalog property is enabled.

If the option is unchecked, these folders cannot inherit linked catalog.

• Select Another Catalog
  Specifies another catalog in the Select Another Catalog dialog.

Role Based Authorization

Specifies whether to activate the role based security in replace of the default applied security of setting permissions for users, groups and roles. In the role based security, permissions are defined on roles only, and users and groups are mapped to roles.

If this option is checked, the option Permission Setting UI Displays will be hidden since it applies to the default applied security.

Permission Setting UI Displays

Controls whether to display user, role or group permissions in the permission setting UI for the server resource tree node and version properties, and the scheduling to version and advanced run dialogs.

Advanced Password

Specifies whether to apply advanced password rule on JReport Server. When this option is enabled, when setting password on JReport Server, a complex one which matches the rule specified below is required. However, this rule doesn't affect administrator's changing and setting password for other users.

• JReport Password Rule
  Specifies to use JReport's built-in password rule.
  • Min Length
    Specifies the minimum number of characters that can be used in the password. The number specified here should be larger than the password minimum length defined for all users created on the Security > User panel. The default number is 8.
  • Uppercase
    If checked, the password must contain at least one uppercase letter.
  • Lowercase
    If checked, the password must contain at least one lowercase letter.
  • Number
    If checked, the password must contain at least one Arabic numeral.
  • Symbol
    If checked, the password must contain at least one character that is not defined as letter, numeral or space.
• User Defined Password Rule
  JReport also provides you with the interface AdvancedPasswordRule in the package jet.server.api.admin for defining your own password rule. You can specify a Java class to implement this interface, then add the path of the class file to the ADDCLASSPATH variable in setenv.bat, which is located in <install_root>\bin. After that, check this option and enter the name of the class in the text box to validate the password.

Permission Algorithm

Specifies an algorithm for calculating a user, role or group's permission.

For information about the permission accumulation algorithm and the user permission replacement algorithm, see server.permission.algorithm.

Show Resource Name Extension

Specifies whether to show the resource name extension in the resource tree.

• JReport Server
  Specifies whether to show the resource name extension in the resource tree on the JReport Server Console page.
• Web Report Studio/Page Report Studio/JDashboard
  Specifies whether to show the resource name extension in the resource tree on Web Report Studio, Page Report Studio and JDashboard.

User Session Timeout

Specifies the time limit for a user to gain access to JReport Server.

Generally speaking, if several users attempt to gain access to JReport Server at the same time and among them, a user is unable to send requests to JReport Server for a period of time, the server will then log it out after timeout. The default session timeout is 500 hours.

Time Limit Before Moving to Background

Specifies the maximum time for running a report. If a report is so large that JReport Server cannot run it within the time specified here, it will be put into the Background Tasks page and the server will go on running the report there. If you want to stop running the report, select the report by clicking in the row and then delete it from the Background Tasks tab.

Status Refresh Interval

Specifies task duration check frequency. By default, JReport Server checks task duration every 30 seconds. This value can also be reset by the task.duration.check_cycle property in the server.properties file. Note that the value must be an integer greater than 0.

The option is available when the option Enable Task Duration in this panel is checked.

Temporary Files Life

Specifies the length of the period to keep the temp files for after they have been generated. By default it is 24 hours. Temp files are deleted 24 hours after they have been generated.

Engine Priority

Specifies the priority of the engine in CPU usage when multiple tasks are running on your machine. It can be one of the following: Lowest Priority, Low Priority, Normal Priority, High Priority, and Highest Priority.

On the condition that multiple tasks are running on your machine, you can decide your engine's priority in CPU usage by choosing one of them. For example, if you choose Low Priority, JReport Engine will share a comparatively small part of the CPU usage when it is running. Whereas, if you choose High Priority, JReport Engine will occupy more CPU usage. This choice provides you with greater flexibility in adjusting the engine's utilization of the CPU according to your requirement. Of course, the higher the priority, the faster the performance.

Save

Applies the changes to JReport Server.
