Jaspersoft 7.8.0 installation keystore

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

We generate keystores in Clarity application using 'admin keystore jaspersoft' command.  Then we copy the files from config folder to other servers and Jaspersoft config servers.

But release document says:
"When you are setting up a cluster installation, ensure that you copy the keystores created for the primary instance to the <user.home> directory of the secondary instance.  The keystores are available at <user.home.dir>/.jrsks and <user.home.dir>/.jrsksp on the primary server."

Is keystore generation different in Jaspersoft 7.8.0?

Environment

Release : 15.9.2+

Component : CLARITY JASPERSOFT

Resolution

The usual Jaspersoft keystore generation is the same via the command, you should continue doing the keystores and copying to the other servers.

Now there is also an "installation keystore" which is separate and different:

• Jaspersoft 7.8.0 includes an installation keystore. Create a backup of the installation keystore (<user.home.dir>/.jrsks & <user.home.dir>/.jrsksp) to ensure you can connect to the Jaspersoft database in case of any issues. You will not be able to access your data if you don't have a copy of the keystore files. If you are using a Windows server, the keystores are available under C:\users\<user directory>.

Here is example on how it looks:
