Hi Vijay,

If you're wanting to create the connection to your database once and use it in all of your reports, you can create a dataSource in a report library. This will allow you to use the dataSource from this library in many different reports so you don't have to make it every time. Is this what you're wanting to know? If not, could you explain a little more? Thanks!

You create a new library much how you create a new report. You add dataSources and dataSets and elements to the library that you want to use over and over again. You start a new library by going to new > library. Create the dataSource just like in a report, then in your report designs, you can access the library in the resource explorer.

Hi williams, 
As per your comments i have created one test library file. it is like normal rptdesign only.in next step i tried to assign this library to one rpt design through resource, here i am not able to see library what i have cretaed. 
what might be the issue. i am using My eclipse 7.5 version. when i added new library it created that in webroot folder.In resource had the option to fetch ressource file, jar, java script file.not able to view this library.
