Key Highlights of Jasper Reports Migration
Challenges with Oracle Reports
Why should I migrate Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports instead of BI Publisher?
Jasper Reports is the Most popular Open-Source Reporting Framework.
No cumbersome licensing or support fees.
Active user community that consistently provides updates & patches.
Better maintainability & flexible components.
Stay supported, prevent deprecation.
Wide industry adoption & Lower risk of obsolescence.
OptiSol’s JCT makes it easy to migrate from Oracle Reports
What is included with OptiSol’s Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT)?
OptiSol’s Jasper Conversion Tool (JCT) provides a comprehensive migration solution that includes the following:
Automated Reports (.rdf) Analysis
Code Cleanup & Migration Preparation
Detailed Migration
Roadmap
X-Ray Scan of Oracle Reports for Dependencies & Redundancy
Automated Data Model & Layout Migration
Functional & Technical Improvements for existing reports
Business Logic & Dependencies Mapping
Jasper Reports Testing & Deployment
Comprehensive Modernization Assessment
JCT performs an in-depth analysis of your Oracle Reports (.rdf files) to identify structure, logic, and dependencies. This includes scanning and assessing business logic, cleaning up redundant code, and preparing the reports for seamless migration.
Using JCT, the migration process automates the conversion of Oracle Reports to Jasper Reports. This includes transforming data models, queries, and layouts, translating proprietary business logic to equivalents, and ensuring templates and UI layouts are accurately converted.
The converted reports undergo rigorous automated testing, including unit testing to verify functionality and validation to ensure data, layout, and logic render as expected in the new Jasper Reports environment.
Once validated, the reports are deployed to your production environment (on-prem/Cloud/Hybrid). Performance tuning optimizes query processing, while functional enhancements are provided to improve report usability and scalability.
Jasper VS OracleBI Reports
Aspect |
Jasper Reports |
Oracle BI Publisher |
---|---|---|
Cost | Free open-source version available; lower cost for commercial editions. | High licensing and subscription costs, especially standalone. |
Customizability | Fully open source; allows deep customizations with access to the source code. | Limited customization options tied to Oracle’s ecosystem. |
Vendor Lock-In | No vendor lock-in; compatible with a wide variety of platforms and databases. | Tightly integrated with Oracle products, leading to dependency. |
Data Source Flexibility | Supports multiple databases, including NoSQL and open-source options, without restrictions. | Best for Oracle databases; support for other sources can be limited. |
Embedded Reporting | Designed for embedding into applications, offering libraries and APIs. | Limited embedding capabilities outside Oracle products. |
Output Formats | Wide variety of formats including PDF, Excel, Word, HTML, XML, JSON, and more. | Supports multiple formats but primarily focuses on enterprise document needs. |
Cloud Readiness | Can be customized for cloud environments; vendor neutral. | Fully cloud-ready but tightly integrated with Oracle Cloud. |
Scheduling & Distribution | Flexible and configurable using Jasper Reports Server or custom scripts. | Built-in scheduling but tied to Oracle tools for advanced features. |
Integration | Easily integrates with any environment, especially Java-based applications. | Primarily optimized for Oracle applications; integration outside Oracle is complex. |
Ease of Deployment | Lightweight and can run on minimal infrastructure. | Requires more extensive infrastructure and Oracle ecosystem compatibility. |
Community Support | Large open-source community offering free plugins, fixes, and forums. | Paid enterprise support; limited community-based solutions. |
