Upgrading JasperReports Server from version 4.2.1 to version 5.2
Starting with version 10.4, the WorldServer distribution archive includes the JasperReports Server (JRS) 5.2 installation kit. However, if you still use JRS 4.2.1 with WorldServer 11.x, you can upgrade to JRS 5.2.
Before you begin
Make sure you have installed Microsoft SQL Management Studio (MSSQL DB) or Oracle SQL Developer (Oracle DB) on your local machine. You also need a working version of WorldServer 11.x (with Java Development Kit 8 and Tomcat 8) on the same machine. JasperReports Server only works with Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 and Tomcat 7, so you cannot use the same Tomcat and JDK versions you used when you installed other WorldServer 11.x components (ws-api, ws, ws-legacy).
About this task
The following procedure applies to upgrading the JasperReports Server engine for WorldServer 11.x. Only users with administrator permissions can install JasperReports Server. You can find the JasperReports Server installation kit on the WorldServer FTP, in <distribution archive>\integrations\JasperSoft_5.2.
