The Messages page displays the list of events logged for the current user.
To open the Messages page:
• On any page, click View > Messages in the menu bar. The Messages page appears:

You can view a message by clicking its name. The message opens in the Event Details page. Information there can help you troubleshoot problems with scheduled reports, such as if a report fails because its data source is configured with incorrect credentials.

A common cause of the error message indicating that the report failed to execute is a misconfigured mail server. The mail server must be manually configured after installation in order for users to send email notifications. For more information about mail configuration, refer to the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide. |
