subreport with different data source from main

[lordan]

Hi,

 

I need some subreports in my main report to use a different data source than the main report.

The main report will be filled by a talend job but the subreports have to use their own connection to

a sql database. I really would hate to drag out all the logic I set up in my existing report and rebuild it in talend...

 

 

Btw.:

at the moment I am struggling with talend and using a report with subreports at all...a testreport is working fine with talend as long it does not contain a subreport. the second I add the plainest subreport (just a "Test"-Text in Title, no other bands, no data connection etc.) it fails giving my this:

Yes you should be able to use a different data source for your subreport.  At least according to this post:
