Issue/Introduction

How to save scheduled Jasper reports in a different path/folder other than the default Repository Content root location?

Environment

Spectrum integrated with CABI JasperReports Server

Resolution

By default, saving scheduled Jasper reports in a different path/folder is disabled. To enable follow the below steps:

1. Log on to the JasperReports Server
   
   
2. Navigate to the folder where Jasper is installed, usual path for:
   
   

   Windows: C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CA Business Intelligence\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver-pro\WEB-INF

   Linux:   /opt/CA/CABI/tomcat/webapps/jasperserver-pro/WEB-INF
   
   

3. Edit the file applicationContext.xml and search for the following string:
   

   
   <property name="enableSaveToHostFS" value="false"/>

   Change it to true as below:
   
   

   <property name="enableSaveToHostFS" value="true"/>

   Save the file.
   
   
4. For the changes to take effect, restart CA Business Intelligence Tomcat Service

Now, to save the scheduled JasperServer reports:

1. right click the report you want to schedule, select the option Schedule...
   
   
2. In the new window, click on Create Schedule
   
   
3. In the New Schedule window -> click on Output Options -> Under Output Destination -> Check the Output To Host File System -> provide the path where you would like to save the reports -> Click on Save
