Hello,

Anyone have managed to integrate JasperReports with OpenEdge?

OE11.6, Windows

Thanks,

I've not even heard of it until now. Do you have any specific problems or questions?

I'm in a beginning state... Doesn't know how to run a JasperReports file from OpenEdge. Do you know how to do that integration?

Yes, I am doing the exact thing where we are migrating from Crystal to JasperReporting.
Integration is actually pretty easy, You need an API call in your ABL code to JasperServer to download any PDF files created in JasperStudio, If you have used Crystal then its very similar.
Once you have PDF downloaded locally, you can play with it any way you want. I am stuck with printing that PDF with some onscreen parameters as you can find from my post here. Hopefully I can help you with that more later.

Hello @JeFernando,

Don't have any experience in developing in Crystal...

If possible, share the code.

Thanks,
Baltazar
