Brad, I asked a while back for information about the reporting "structure" to see if BMC supported any kind of "semi standard" way for a Jasper Mid-Tier report plugin could be created and received no answer from anyone. I am confident that it could be done, but without an "official path forward" you would be doomed to reinvent the wheel for every version.
However.... if your on v7... then I think you have a few more options with a DVF. ( But I have yet to find enough time to make one that fully works.) I can say that I have ported the Jasper integration to the Remedy Java(JNI) API. I can also add that it still has some issues. And that I hope that the v7.1 "pure Java" api will make a full rewrite of it even easier. (But time will tell.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....

** Has anyone utilized open source software to generate reports w/ mid tier? I did a quick search and haven't found much discussion since 2006 regarding Jasper or other open source tools. Is Crystal that much easier to use? We are running at 6.3 and looking to upgrade to 7.0 shortly. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
