External JAR file for Reports in ARIS 9.8

Hello ARIS Community,

If I use the JavaImporter in the previous ARIS version 7.1, I had to place the jar file in the \server\lib directory. Is it any different in version 9.8? I ask because running the Report I created in 7.1 on 9.8 gives an error. It seems like it does not know about the JAR file being imported.

var imp = JavaImporter(Packages.iamwebserviceconsumer);

......

var result = imp.IAMWebserviceConsumer.searchByUID(sUID);

The error is as follows:

TypeError: Cannot call method "searchByUID" of undefined

So it does not appear to know about the imported package. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Allen

Hey Allen,

You should place the .jar file in the \server\jre\lib\ext directory and restart the service,

Hello, Almog Alfassi

Will this option work if you place the JAR file in the folder on the client computer "C:\Software\ARIS10.0\client\jre\lib"?

I did this, but when I run the script, I get the error: "TypeError: Cannot call method "getMes" of undefined". The use of the directory "C:\Software\ARIS10.0\client\jre\lib\ext" also did not lead to success.

ARIS report scripts are always executed on the ARIS Server. But I can't say whether adding an external JAR file would be accepted that way, or whether an import is needed.

Thank you Rune.

You want to say that in order for the JAR file to be used, it is better to place it in the 'lib' folder on the server?

Yes, a runtime library for providing classes to a report script has to be accessible for ARIS Server.

However, since I am replying here on behalf of the software vendor I can't officially recommend you to add new JAR files in the ARIS installation.

Here's a post where the solution was to import the JAR file in Common Files. That might be an alternative to putting the file in the lib folder of ARIS Server: https://www.ariscommunity.com/users/prosci8/2019-01-17-send-email-report-script

Hello, Rune!

Thank you for your answer!

Unfortunately, adding a JAR file to Common Files did not produce the desired result.

Probably there is only one way - add files to a folder on the server.

Hello, Rune!

You were right with 'Common files'. Sorry, I forgot about the script settings, I had to specify which script file (JAR) to use in my script. Thank you very much!
