BIRT connection with Hive, can we have single data source for all reports

gsemalty

Hello,
 
I am new to Birt / Hive.
I have created multiple reports .rptdesign files. Each file is connected to HIVE using Data Source. For each new rptdesign, I have to create datasource.
 
Incase there is change in password / or I have to connected to Hive on different server .. I have to change in all .rptdesign files.
 
Is there a way to have the connection details in single file, that can be used by all .rptdesign files. This way I will need to modify data source at single location.
 
Searched a lot on internet, but couldnt find details.
Please help and if possible share an example for the same.

Easiest way is to store the connections in a report library.

Hi Sir, Thanks for the answer. Can you suggest some example links where I can discover about report library and how to use that in different .rptdesign files in BIRT
