Report execution

Report execution fills a published Jasper definition with parameters and returns binary output in the format you choose.

Running from the viewer

1. Open the catalog and select a report (or go to /reports/{key}).
2. Supply parameters.
3. Choose an output format.
4. Run and download or view the result.

Map Reports add an interactive map step before fill — see Map Reports.

What happens on the server

1. Authenticate (session or API Token — same ACL).
2. Authorize the report for your user/groups.
3. Resolve parameters (including Map Report-derived values when applicable).
4. JasperReports fills against the configured datasource / JNDI context.
5. Output is streamed as PDF, HTML, Excel, and so on.

Formats

Common formats include pdf, html, xlsx, xls, csv, docx, and others. Full list: Output formats and Supported formats.

Troubleshooting execution

If output is empty or fails:

• Confirm datasource name and connectivity
• Confirm parameter names and types
• Check fonts/images/resources referenced by the JRXML
• Ask an administrator to review Jasper internal URL and timeout settings
