Pentaho reports displays without Data - report

I have already posted similar question earlier but did not get any response yet so thought let me describe it in detail here.
I am upgrading pentaho reporting from 3.6.1 to 3.8.2. all reports were working fine in 3.6.1 version with my spring based web application.
apart from upgrading necessary jars from 3.8.2, I have opened my existing reports in 3.8.2, save it again and previewed them. all reports worked fine in 3.8.2 report designer and I can able to see reports with data.
so I replaced related .prpt files in my application and tried to run reports from it. but now reports are displaying with out data. Please let me know if anyone has any insight.

This question is answered in the Pentaho forum:
Here is an usefull link for Pentaho http://pentahoasksumeet.blogspot.com

I had exactly the same issue like you, I embedded reporting engine with my Vaadin Java Web Application, and got reports with no data after upgrading reporting engine.
My problem was that, I didn't match the exact same version of the libraries in the SDK with the Pentaho Report Designer. Just be sure to be using the same version of the SDK and the Report Designer, and the problem will dissapear.
The issue comes frequently with the datasource definition between the different versions. If your reports are in old versions, upgrade them using Report Designer and saving them again. Don't use older or newer versions of the reports with the SDK either with the Report Designer. Match the exact versions.

Requiring to move to older Crystal reports version to work with reports

I am running version 13.0.24 of crystal reports but have to revert to an older version to print out reports. How can I update the compatibility for my app to include newer CR versions.
Also, If we add support for newest version of crystal reports, can the older version still work too so we don't have to update all existing customers installs?
I have identified that from SP21 backward compatibility is broken by googling but not sure of what are available options to achieve this.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

How to Debug Classic ASP Using Visual Studio

There is an excellent article available at the following URL (below), but I cannot figure out where I can download a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I've looked all over the Internet, but the download links are either not working (those that are at Microsoft), or they go to very suspicious looking websites.

Of course the other question that can be asked is, can this process be adapted to work on the most recent version (or at least a version that can actually be downloaded)?
Here's one link for you, straight from the horse's hands.

How do I use HP's UFT with Eclipse's EMF Client Platform?

I have an existing software system in pure Java (1.8, currently 32 bit), using Eclipse's EMF Client Platform. Some modules are opened in normal web browsers like IE, Chrome etc. while others are loaded into an Eclipse client as Eclipse plugins. We're using Eclipse Mars.
We're looking to automate our testing with HP's UFT, so we're trying it out for the first time with a freshly downloaded trial version. We easily figured out how to use UFT with modules that are opened in a web browser from a tutorial I found online.
However, we're unable to say the same for the part of the system opened in the Eclipse client. My PM did a little preliminary research and some say there are compatibility issues. Right now I'm investigating this in-depth with the objective to get it working if possible. I Google'd with the terms UFT, Eclipse plugin, and/or EMF Client Platform without useful result.
As someone using this tool for the first time, I'm looking for help from those with experience in the community. Do you know any tutorial, documentation, any material that can assist me, whether to solve the problem outright or at least to help me understand the relevant parts of the UFT tool?
I understand LeanFT is installed with UFT, so I am open to using it as an alternative. Thanks!

how is Wunderlist source code protected?

I am trying to build a simple app using tidesdk , but unfortunately as stated here :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14207566/1724929
that currently there is no way to protect the source code which is visible to the app users.
but after taking a look at wunderlist for Windows which is built using tidesdk and .net framework , i saw that the source code is not visible also i searched if it were hidden somewhere but i found nothing , so any one have an idea how they protect the source code from being visible . is there any tool or something to achive that ?
Latest version of Wunderlist is not built using TideSDK. They have re-implemented all different versions pure natively on each platform they are supporting.
TideSDK currently does not support Code hiding however the Developers of TideSDK are developing TideKit which is releasing soon with a new CLI, app and will provide platform builds. It will also provide Code Hiding. You can follow recent developments at http://www.tidekit.com. The video of what is coming is here: http://youtu.be/aE7gN-d0GhU. This will give you modern tools to use where the experience of creating and your projects is much better.

Notification to the end users about a newer version

I am having an application that will be installed on various machines. Now if i have a newer version than the installed one, i need to inform the users that an update is available. An update that shows up in Mozilla Firefox about a newer version,similar to that. Is this possible to implement?? Or how those Firefox guys implementing that feature? My application has been implemented using Qt 4.4. But i guess this doesn't conform to a specific programming language. I have virtually no idea about implementing this so any ideas regarding this are welcome.
you need a web site page, like http://yourapp.com/version
and place version number in this page.
each time your app runs, check this page(quietly),
if found version > current version, then open a confirm window.
