I spent almost an hour trying to remember how to achieve this. To have this readily available in the future, thus this “documentation”.
Software Applications used:
a. MySQL Server 5.6.11
b. iReport 2.0
Contents
- 1 1. Install MySQL Server, create a connection profile in iReport, and make profile the default connection
- 2 2. Use a simple SQL Select statement for the main report
- 3 3. Create a subreport and create 3 parameters
- 4 4. Do not put any SQL Select statement on the subreport
- 5 5. Make sure the data types match with that of passed arguments
- 6 6. Main Report and Subreport
- 7 7. Configure subreport on the main report
- 8 8. On the subreport, make sure “When no data” is set to “All sections, no detail”
- 9 9. Compile reports
- 10 10 On the iReport, run the main report via Execute (with active connection) command. Make sure SUBREPORT_DIR points to the path where the compiled reports are.
