Adding data sources

If Report Builder does not have a data source, an administrator with Jazz administrative privileges or a report manager can add one.

Before you begin

You must know the data source type, and depending on the type and vendor, the properties that are required to connect to it.

1. In a browser window, open the Setup page at https://server:port/rs/setup
2. Click the Administration icon on the product banner and select Data Sources or click Data Sources in the Connect to data sources pane.
3. Click Create a Data Source.
4. Enter the data source name, description, type, and required properties; then, click Save.

Results

The data source is listed on the Data Sources page. You must connect to the data source, as described in Connecting to data sources.
