Is it possible to add the results of two or more functions?
Posted Monday, 02 August 2010 By Mihai
NextReports allows to create expressions using columns, variables, parameters and constants. A function can be created on some column or on some expression. To exist, an expression must be inserted inside layout. We can hide the cell content which contains the expression using 'hide when expression' property.

So to answer the question, you will have to create a hidden expression in detail to compute the addition. At the end (group footer or report footer) you will create a function on that expression.

How to enter the instance name in SQL Server datasource url

Modified: Thursday, 06 May 2010
When you create a data source for MS SQL database, the hint url shown in Next is :

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<server>:<port>/<database>

But, optionally, MS SQL databases can contain other properties. You can see the full set of properties here : http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html />
One such property is instance name and the data source url to connect must be :

jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<server>:<port>/<database>;instance=<instance name>

How to easily start with NextReports Server
Posted Thursday, 18 March 2010 By Mihai
After installing NextReports Server, you will have to start it from the Start menu. After that you choose Open action.

By default there is a user "admin" created with password "1". At fisrt login you will be ask for the license. You just upload it and you will be redirected inside the application.

Instead of adding report & charts from server application we can use the publish / download actions from the designer.

When you publish a report or chart, you can also publish the data source. You can download a report or chart from the server, modify it and publish it back (all the data used to connect is preserved).

How to change memory options for NextReports
Posted Tuesday, 24 March 2009 By Mihai
Modified: Tuesday, 24 March 2009
By default NextReports starts with no minimum memory size, and a maximum memory allocation of 256MB. If you have a big set of data for a report and you want to specify a minimum memory size (for example 32MB) you must add -Xms32m inside the file nextreports.vmoptions found inside the folder where the application was installed. Also to change the maximum memory size (for example 512MB), you must modify the -Xmx256m option to -Xmx512m.
