iReport 6.0.1 to 4.1.1

I have a report made with ireport 6.0.1, I have to modify the not compatible content to open it with 4.1.1 version. I deleted the uuid, borderSplitType="DrawBorders" on the frames, now I have the evaluationTime="Master" property, should it be changed to evaluationTime="Report"?

PS : I didn't find any documentation on the differences between the two versions.

Solution

  • Configuring Jaspersoft Studio to Source .jrxml version 4.1.1 should automatically modify the source as needed to be compatible with 4.1.1.

    Please also have a read of Chapter "7.3.1 Evaluation Time" in the current 'TIBCO Jaspersoft Studio User Guide' https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/v8-v80-v800/tibco-jaspersoft-studio-user-guide to get a better understanding of Evaluation Time.
