Export/Import reports using js-import in JasperServer

The Repository Export utility writes out all of the JasperServer Repository objects to a set of XML and binary format files.

The output of the export operation is known as an export catalog.

To create the export catalog,

enter these commands: cd <js-install>/scripts

js-export.bat --everything --output-dir js-backup-catalog 

OR

Exporting Everything......

C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.1\scripts> js-export.bat --everything --output-dir js-backup-catalog


Export /Reports Folder Contents

C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.1\scripts>js-export --uris /Reports --output-dir js-backup-catalog 

The import utility reloads all of your repository data. As the data is being saved to the repository,

To import your backup catalog to the repository,

change directory to:

cd <js-install>/scripts

Enter these commands: js-import.bat --input-dir js-backup-catalog

Copy & paste  the exported folder(js-backup-catalog) into the following path(new system) C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.1\scripts>

Importing Files to jasper server.........
C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.1\scripts>js-import.bat --input-dir js-backup-catalog

 Examples: 

·         Import the myDir catalog folder, prepending /importDir to all repository URIs:

js-import --input-dir myDir --prepend-path /importDir

·         Import the myExport.zip catalog archive file:

js-import --input-zip myExport.zip

Examples: 

·

               Export the /reports/samples/AllAccounts resource to a catalog folder:

js-export --uris /reports/samples/AllAccounts --output-dir myExport

·               Export the /images and /fonts folders:

js-export --uris /images,/fonts --output-dir myExport

·               Export all the resources with permissions to a zip catalog:

js-export --uris / --repository-permissions --output-zip myExport.zip

·               Export all the resource and all the report jobs:

js-export --uris / --report-jobs / --output-dir myExport

·               Export the report jobs of the /reports/samples/AllAccounts report unit

js-export --report-jobs /reports/samples/AllAccounts --output-dir myExport

·               Export all the roles and users:

js-export --roles --users --output-dir myExport

·               Export the ROLE_USER and ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR roles along with all  users belonging to one of these roles:

js-export --roles ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR --role-users --output- dir myExport

 Export two users:

js-export --users jasperadmin, joeuser--output-dir myExport

 It could be useful a option like "--delete" for the command "js-import" to remove useless resources  from repository:

js-import --delete --input-zip=myReports.zip
