Changing the Server Context Path

In some circumstances, you may want to change the server context path for accessing the Server Console and running Report reports. This topic describes how you can change the server context path in a standalone or an integrated environment.

After you change the context path, you should use the new context path in the URLs when working on Report Server via URL.

This topic contains the following sections:

• Changing Standalone Server Context Path
• Changing Integrated Server Context Path

Changing Standalone Server Context Path

Report has the following URL configuration for accessing the Server Console and running Report reports in a standalone environment:

http://<hostname>:8888/jrserver
http://<hostname>:8888/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:8888/dhtmljsp/...
http://<hostname>:8888/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://<hostname>:8888/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

You may want to change the server context path to /jrp. Change the URL:

http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jrserver
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/dhtmljsp/...
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

To do this:

1. Copy all files and folders in <install_root>\public_html to <install_root>\public_html\jrp.
2. Modify the following property values in server.properties in the <install>\bin directory by adding /jrp:

   web.design_servlet_path=/jrp/webreporting
   web.dhtml_jsp_path=/jrp/dhtmljsp
       
   web.dhtml_servlet_path=/jrp/dhtml
   web.help_servlet_path=/jrp/help
   web.jreport_servlet_path=/jrp/jrserver
   web.skin.dir=/jrp/skin

3. Modify the value of jsp_path in redirect.properties in the same directory by adding /jrp:

   jsp_path=/jrp/jinfonet/

4. Modify the mapping.properties in the directory by adding /jrp:

   # Map servlets to paths
   # Properties beginning with a . are extension properties, all other
   # properties are path properties
   #
   # Format:
   # path or extension = servlet name
   
   /jrp/jrserver=jrserver
   /servlet/sendfile=sendfile
   /jrp/dhtml=dhtml
   /jrp/help=help
   /jrp/vt=webos
   .jsp=jspservlet
   

5. Modify the servlet.properties file in the directory by adding /jrp:

   # You can define context-param here. The syntax is as follows:
   # context-param.<param-name> = <param-value>
   #
   # For example:
   # context-param.admin-email = logisupport@insightsoftware.com
   context-param.jrd.webos.root = /jrp/webos/
   

6. Start Server.
7. Access it by either URL:

   http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jrserver
   http://<hostname>:8888/jrp/jinfonet/index.jsp

   Run a report in Page Report Studio by the URL:

   http://<hostname>8888/jrp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls

Changing Integrated Server Context Path

Suppose that you deployed all server resources to the context root folder jreport\ after deploying Report Server to an application server. You can use the URL for accessing the Report Server service console and running Report reports in the integrated environment:

http://<hostname>:port/jreport/jinfonet/index.jsp
http://<hostname>:port/jreport/dhtmljsp/...
http://<hostname>:8888/jreport/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://<hostname>:8888/jreport/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

You may want to change the server context path to /jreport/myjsp and the URL will be:

http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/index.jsp
 http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/dhtmljsp/...
http://<hostname>:8888/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/tryView.jsp?&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fSales Detail Report.wls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.result_type=8
http://<hostname>:8888/jreport/myjsp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls&jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat

To do this:

1. Move index.htm and these folders from jreport\ to jreport\myjsp\: admin, dhtmljsp, images, javascript, jinfonet, skin, and style.
2. Create a jrserver.properties file in the \WEB-INF directory, add the skin and dhtmljsp properties and provide the correct paths (excluding the context root):

   web.skin.dir=/myjsp/skin
   web.dhtml_jsp_path=/myjsp/dhtmljsp

3. Access the server by the URL http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/jinfonet/index.jsp.
4. Run a report in Page Report Studio by the URL:

   http://<hostname>:port/jreport/myjsp/webos/app/pagestudio/run.jsp?jrs.catalog=%2fSampleReports%2fSampleReports.cat&jrs.report=%2fSampleReports%2fEmployee Information List.cls
