Problem with 8.1 / Reporting Upgrade

Post by Jaymer »

After converting this weekend, I did not take time to go check all of the reports in the system.
On Monday morning I got a report that reports were failing. (And who would or could?)
It turns out there was a band in the older version of Jasper that was a size 11. (Height)
And there was a field that was size 13, so it was allowed in the prior version, but now it was failing. When I edited the report and tried to save it, then it complained about the band not being big enough.
The big problem is it took me a while to figure it out, because it doesn’t tell you the offending band by name.
Increased the band size and saving restored to normal functionality.

So if you have lots of reports, you may have a unexpected failure in the future when someone runs a report that’s not a frequently used one.
