Grails on AppFog: BIRT report displayed partially - grails

Within my Grails 2.2 application I use BIRT reporting plugin to generate a pdf of (a bit) complex report (7 datasets binded to 8th one) and it works ok on my local machine but, on AppFog, I get only aprox 1/3 of report. The problem is that I get Header and footer of document but, content is broken at different places at different attempt so It looks like some kind of time-out problem, like report engine hadn't had enough time to generate itself.
Do I forget to set something or? Anybody have a idea what to try?

Compiling code of several different languages (go,java,python) and getting a value back

I would like to build a IDE in the browser. Basically a WebApp where you choose which language you want to write code in, then you submit it to an endpoint, and get back the output.
I could not find any docker images that existed and I tried to use Judge but it seems like it is going to cause issues and there is no customer support.
Has anyone built something like this before?

Birt Master Footer - Set data dynamically not working eclipse 4.3.1 (Maximo 7.6.1.1 - BIRT)

I am using Maximo 7.6.1.1 and Birt (eclipse 4.3.1). The requirement is to add some page related text with a field from the report into the footer on each page, so I am attempting to update the master page footer. The master page is local, not extended.
I have tried to repeat this from 2013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw_k1qHY_gU&t=4s) without success.
So using page level variables as described by the link did not work - it appears that the page event for the variable I chose (when the variable is about to be updated on the page) did not seem to be getting invoked.
Has this possibly changed (since 2013) or does someone know of another work around?
I tried to add a number of data elements to the footer without success.
I did see that if I added a value to the footer element in the initialization event for the report, that we could see that but we never got any updates even though the field we wanted to use was updated as it is normally.
I don't know Maximo, but these page variables only work if BIRT is running in 2 steps: RunTask, then RenderTask. If the program is using the single-step RundAndRenderTask, page variables don't work. This behaviour has not changed with "newer" BIRT releases.

HighCharts Graph Issues

We are using highcharts as part of the report generation. We generate 10 PDF reports simultaneously and we notice that there are instances that it shows incorrect information or sometimes no graphs are being displayed on some of the reports, but when we regenerate it, the issue no longer exists. The average successful report generation is 7 out of 10.
We are using PHP as our backend and we use cron to automate the processing of reports. We tried using sleep function but still getting the graph problem. The highcharts version that we are using is 4.1.4.
We are expecting that the report that we submitted (10), all of those should display the correct graph in the report

Problems with SSRS report previewing different results than what the stored procedure is returning

I have Googled this issue I am having and there appears to be no one else who has had this problem. I am working with SSRS 2012 with a main report and a subreport. The subreport has 2 parameters: one is a an account Number and the other is a date. These are being passed into the subreport correctly, however the previewed results are different than what the stored procedure behind the subreport shows.
A picture says a 1000 words, so here is what the result of the stored proc looks like:
DB stored proc results
When I render just the subreport, I am getting this:
RDL Preview Results
The only grouping being done is on the StateOfJurisdiction. I have tried this with and without grouping.
It appears to be mixing the data in both rows. I have also cleared the RDL cache file just to be sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, after messing with this all night, I decided to create a new subreport and try that on for size. It worked! Not sure what that was all about, but I will have to later compare the RDL files to see what the smoking gun was. Thanks though for all the help!!
It sounds like you are testing your reports in Visual Studio. Visual Studio will cache database hits when you develop. To refresh with the latest data, either refresh your dataset or run the report and select the green refresh arrow, otherwise it will run from cache for the fore sable future.

plugin to print reports right to printer in grails

I have no background printing reports others than when I use to use crystal report in small Visual Basic applications, now I am starting using grails and I need to print some reports in some pages with fixed constraints like receipt, I search in plug-ins but I do not know which one is the recommended one in this scenario
thanks for your time and help
The Rendering plugin can create PDF files from gsp code. The PDFs can then be saved or printed as a report.
http://grails.org/plugin/rendering
Also a Jasper Reports plugin exists but I have not used that but that might fit your needs better.
