JasperReports Server 5.5: Create Schedule not working

Question

I just Installed JasperReports Server 5.5.0 and tried to schedule a report, but clicking on the Submit button does not save the job

Using jasperreports-server-cp-5.5.0
On Ubuntu Linux 13.04

In Javascript Console I'm getting this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'url' of undefined parameters.js:122
(anonymous function) parameters.js:122

Getting this Exception in the backend:

Answer 1

i stumbled accross the same symptom. The weird thing is i managed to schedule a job yesterday.

After doing some experiments i think i found the cause and have at least a workaround.

It seems it is an error with the DatePicker and date formats. My date format is the German date format so it is dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm.

When selecting dates before the 13th of each month the scheduling works fine. As soon as i select a start date that is >= 13th it does not save the date.

If the schedule is saved and i reopen the schedule the input field shows me i.e. the following string:

2013-12-12 12:41

If i don't use the date picker again i can replace it in the input field with i.e.

2013-12-20 00:10

And everything is fine.

It is not an easy workaround but at least it works for me.

Best Regards

Constantin

Answer 2

@user3095179: Your answer saved my day. After some heavy update troubles (importing Datasources&Reports manually as an sql-dump destroyed the posgresql db) with jasperserver 5.5 everything is working fine now.

I can verify the behaviour concerning the 13th, but I don't get it. Maybe the guys from jasper try to avoid friday the 13th.

There is room for improvement within the method you describe, to insert a date after the dreaded 13th:

You can directly circumvent the datepicker, and insert a date in the japanese format (according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ms187928.aspx says), via copy&paste.

I am inserting this into the date timebox directly: 2014/03/28 03:00. But I just verified that your format 2013-12-20 00:10 works too, in that way.

So this whole answer sums up to: Always use Copy&Paste, so you don't have to open the schedule two times.

Nevertheless kudos to the the jasper developers.

EDIT: http://community.jaspersoft.com/jasperreports-server/issues/3255 So today I tried the process again, but this time with a report that expects parameters. The date trick was not working there. The solution is provided by a user named dnaboka who patched some javascript files, in this thread in #10, #11 and #13. In #13 Andy.c explains where to put the patched files. In a nutshell put the patched files to:

/opt/jasperreports-server-cp-5.5.0/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/scripts/scheduler/view/editor/parameters.js

and

/opt/jasperreports-server-cp-5.5.0/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/scripts/scheduler/collection/jobs.js

The reason some users there complain that this doesn't fix it, is

<speculatemode>
    It is related to the dreaded 13th date problem.
</speculatemode>

I believe to completeley circumenvent our workarounds with the copy&pastarino another stackoverflow user posted a permanent workaround here: Unable to Goto the Second Step of Scheduling on Jasper Server. Again in a nutshell:

Within /opt/jasperreports-server-cp-5.5.0/WEB-INF/classes/esapi/security.properties, comment out the trigger.timezone line. Haven't verified this. Will do it in future.

Please don't upvote this message, just do it for the original problem solvers.
