Web/Servlet “Report With Graph” Setup

mrc introduces the “Report With Graph” Web/Servlet template. This application type works like the original report template, but it also includes the ability to graph any values from any level of a report. By default, it graphs all of the numeric grand total values, but it is easy to change the graphed values and levels.

To get started using the “Report With Graph” Web/Servlet template you need to do the following:

1. Install IBM AS/400 PASE (Portable App Solutions Environment) software to execute this logic on the iSeries. This licensed program is part of the 5722SS1 group (option 33) and should be found on your IBM software installation CD's.

2. Next, modify the file "/mrctomcat/bin/catalina400.sh" by adding the two entries listed below. mPower users will need to edit the start_tomcat400.sh file located in /m-power directory. NOTE: You'll find the line at the end of the catalina400.sh file. You will need to add the two entries listed to that last line.

-Djava.awt.headless=true

-Dos400.awt.native=true

Before:

java -ms64m -Duser.dir="$CATALINA_BASE" -Dcatalina.base="$CATALINA_BASE"

-Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME" org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start

After:

java -ms64m -Duser.dir="$CATALINA_BASE" -Dcatalina.base="$CATALINA_BASE"

-Dcatalina.home="$CATALINA_HOME" -Djava.awt.headless=true

-Dos400.awt.native=true org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start

3. And that's it! You're now ready to create a Web/Servlet “Report With Graph”.
