Publish to JReport Enterprise Server dialog

This dialog appears when you click File > Publish To > JReport Enterprise Server, specify the information in the Connect to JReport Enterpriser Server dialog and then click Connect. It helps you to publish resources from JReport Designer to JReport Enterprise Server. See the dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Publish Resource From

Specifies the directory in which the resources you want to publish are located. By default, the path of the currently opened catalog is shown here. You can click the Browse button to find another directory.

Resource tree panel

Lists the resources, including catalog files, report set files and folders, in the specified directory in a tree structure. Check the checkboxes ahead of the resources you want to publish.

Publish Resource To

Specifies the file path on the server to which the resources will be published. If not specified, the default path (the My Reports node in the server resource tree) will be used. You can also click the Browse button to select another path in the Select Folder dialog if required.

More/Less Options

Shows/hides resource options. Select a to-be-published resource in the resource tree panel and set its properties in the following tabs:

• Properties tab
  Specifies properties for the selected resource.
  • Resource Node Name
    Specifies the name for the selected resource. The Browse button is used to display all the same type resource names under the Publish Resource To path. Select one of them as the name of the selected resource.
  • Resource Description
    Specifies the description for the selected resource.
  • Resource Real Path (used only when a folder is selected)
    Specifies the real path for the folder. If not specified, the default path will be used.
  • Map Shared Disk (only for a folder)
    If you are publishing a folder in the cluster environment, check this option and the folder will then be mapped instead of being copied.
  • Enable Resources from Real Paths
    Specifies whether or not to enable getting resources from the folder real paths. This option is available for folder type only. Once checked, it is required that you specify a real path in the Resource Real Path field.

    Note: This option can only be checked when the Enable Resources from Real Paths option in the Advanced tab of the Configuration dialog on the JReport Administration page has also been checked.

    • Archive as New Version
      Specifies whether to use multiple versions for the selected resource.

• Permissions tab (disabled when publishing resources to the My Reports folder)
  Specifies permissions for the selected resource.
