Question

Without the aid of a separate scheduler (probably written in Java if I must go down that route) is it possible to schedule a job in JasperServer that runs some SQL and then for each row returned, runs and delivers a report?

For example the SQL would be something like:

select customerName, billableAmount from billing where trunc(billingdate) = trunc(sysdate);

This might return something like:

Bongo Beans, 100,000
Moon Lives, 750,000

I would like to then create 2 instances of my report to be sent to our accounts department, 1 for Bongo Beans, 1 for Moon Lives.

Based on everything I’ve read so far it seems this isn’t possible but if it is, that would be magic!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As per Lisa and my previous comments, it turns out this is not possible at present.

The solution I went for in the end was to write a java application that ran my first bit of SQL and then using the java-rest client linked below called the JaspserServer with the parameters to create my reports and then e-mail them out.

Thanks for looking, hope this is helpful.
