Question 41. What Is The Use Of Jasper Report?
Answer:
Jasper Reports is used to
generate the reports from the Database. A powerful report-generating tool that
has the ability to deliver rich content onto the screen, to the printer or into
PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files. Its main use is to help creating page
oriented, ready to print documents in a simple flexible manner.
42.
Question 42. What Is Ireport Designer?
Answer:
There are several ways to
add reporting capabilities to an application. For many web developers, to
create a report just means to create a web page, which produces good results on
screen but poor results when printed to paper. And to create a report in PDF
means write more code tons of code, making the reports hard to maintain and
long to write.
When working with other technologies
the problem does not change very much. For example, Java provides an extensive
API for printing, but there is still a lot of work to write specific code for
each document format.The answer to this problem is to use a reporting
library.JasperReports Library is the world’s most popular open source Java
reporting library, and iReport Designer is a visual report designer for
JasperReports.
The library is a report
engine that can be integrated in your open or commercial application to
generate the reports designed with iReport Designer, display them on screen or
export them in a final format like PDF, OpenOffice, DOCX and many others.
Alternatively, you can stream the result through a web application or send the
final document directly to a printer.
JasperReports is in some
way the core of iReport Designer. JasperReports is extremely easy to integrate
in an Java application, but if you need an environment to use the reports
without having to write a custom application, you may consider using JasperReports
Server.
JasperServer provides a
web based interface to manage, schedule, and run the reports; a repository to
store all the report resources like images, fonts, data sources and much more;
a security service to decide who can execute which report; and a web services
API to execute the reports from external applications (so you can generate
reports from any kind of environment, like PHP or .NET).
In the big picture,
iReport Designer allows you to design reports, JasperReports allows to execute
them and generate output in a Java application, and JasperServer allows both
end users and external applications to access, view, and publish your reports
securely. JasperServer also makes reports interactive by adding drill down and
drill up capabilities to your documents.
43.
Question 43. What Is Jaspersoft Etl?
Answer:
Jaspersoft ETL is a
complete and ready-to-run ETL job designer with an extensive set of data
integration capabilities. It consistently and accurately extracts and
transforms data from multiple systems and loads it into data stores optimized
for reporting and analysis such as star or snowflake schema data marts and
warehouses. And it easily keeps pace with the performance of other leading ETL
tools.
With JasperETL, database
architects and operational data store administrators can: Use the business
modeler to access a non-technical view of the information workflow. Display and
edit the ETL process with Job Designer, a graphical editing tool. Define
complex mappings and transformations with Transformation Mapper and other
transformation components.
Generate portable Perl or
Java code that can be executed on any machine. Track ETL statistics from start
to finish with real-time debugging. Allow simultaneous output from and input to
multiple sources including flat files, XML files, databases, web services, POP
and FTP servers with hundreds of available connectors. Configure heterogeneous
data sources and complex file formats including positional, delimited, CSV,
RegExp, XML, and LDIF with metadata wizards. Use the Activity Monitoring
Console (AMC) to monitor job events (successes, failures, warnings, etc.),
execution times, and data volumes.

A7:
- .jrxml is
a human readable XML file that contains the report template i.e. report
structure and its formatting rules.
- .jasper is
the compiled report template i.e. compiled .jrxml file. You use this file
as the template argument in the JasperReports API.
- .jrprint is
a serialized JasperPrint object i.e. an actual report instance i.e. a
template that has been filled with data. This file can be deserialized
back into a JasperPrint object.
- .jrpxml is
a human readable XML represenatation of a JasperPrint object i.e. an XML
version of a template that has been filled with data. This file can be
unmarshalled back into a JasperPrint object.
