tJasperOutputExec – Docs for ESB 5.x

Component family

Business Intelligence/Jasper

Function

Reads and processes data from a source file to create a report
against a .jrxml report template defined via iReport.

Purpose

This component allows you to use Jaspersoft’s iReport to create a
report in rich formats. It offers a performance gain as it functions
as a combination of an input component and a tJasperOutput component.

Basic settings

Jrxml file

Report template file created via iReport.

Source file

Name of the source file.

Record delimiter

Delimiter of the records.

Destination path

Path of the final report file.

Use Default Output Name

Select this check box to use the default name for the report
generated, which takes the source file’s name.

Output Name

Name of the final report.

Report type

File type of the final report.

iReport

Edit the command to provide the path of iReport’s execution file,
e.g. replacing __IREPORT_PATH__
with E:Program
FilesJaspersoftiReport-4.1.1in, or giving the
full path of the execution file such as “E:Program
FilesJaspersoftiReport-4.1.1iniReport.exe”.

Launch

Click to run iReport.

Advanced settings

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Specify Locale

Select this check box to choose a locale from the Report Locale list.

Encoding

Select an encoding mode from this list. You can select Custom from the list to enter an encoding
method in the field that appears.

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or
transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an
integer.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the
component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This
variable functions only if the Die on error check box is
cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable
functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl +
Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see Talend Studio
User Guide.

Usage

a report against a .jrxml report template defined via
iReport.
