After a data source is added, or immediately after the
installation of Jazz
Reporting Service,
an administrator must establish a connection to it before users can
use reports on their dashboard.
Before you begin
A data source must be installed, and you must know its password.
About this task
There are two scenarios for connecting to data sources:
- Immediately after installing and configuring Jazz
Reporting Service
An
administrator with Jazz administrative
privileges must connect to the data source that was installed as part
of the Rational product
or solution that uses Jazz
Reporting Service.
- After adding subsequent data sources
After an administrator
or a report manager adds a data source, they must also establish a
connection to it.
Procedure
- In a browser window, open the Setup page: https://server:port/rs/setup
- Click Connect to data sources.
- Optional: To view or edit the data source properties,
click Data Sources on the product banner or
in the Connect to data sources pane.
Results
The Setup page confirms that
Jazz
Reporting Service can
communicate with the data source. You can now import queries and select
report managers. Report managers can then add and edit data sources.
