Please let us know if you have any problems with the BETA version, especially if some report was working in 3.0.8 but is not working correctly in 3.1.0-BETA. Of course, as this is a BETA version, it should not be installed in production environments. Always backup your data completely before installing the BETA release.

For testing, just unzip it into the webapps directory of your Tomcat installation. As always, you need to set the persistence.properties file and run the corresponding DDLs. As always, please restart your tomcat and delete your browser’s cache including temp files.

If you are upgrading from a previous installation, you first need ReportServer 3.0.8 correctly installed. Then, just run manually the following SQL script:
After running the script, please restart your tomcat and delete your browser’s cache including temp files.
