BIRT reports & accessing non maximo - configuration

robbinma

Hello,

I have created a report that has a data source that reads data from an external database as well as Maximo.
Does anyone know how to configure the Maximo server so I only have to put the connection details for the external database on the server?
I need to ensure that we move away from having hard coded database references in the reports.

We have had problems with our Maximo 6/Actuate dev environments because of hard coded database references in the reports.

Thanks,

Mark

I think I have found it. 
Goto->Adiministration->Reporting-> Report Administration->Configure Data Sources 
New Row. 
 
Haven't tried it yet but it looks like it will do the job.

This doesn't specifically answer the question but it's a nice example of what you can do with BIRT in a Maximo environment.
