The name of the data source that you choose for the Domain appears at the top of the Data Source panel on the Tables tab. Click the name of the data source to make changes to it. The Manage Data Source dialog appears.
Manage Data Source Dialog Box of the Tables Tab |
The name of the data source defaults to the name of its repository object. Domain users don't see the data source name. You can change it as needed. However, if you select a new data source for the Domain, the name in the design remains unchanged. In this case, you may want to rename the data source in the design to match the new data source.
If the database changes servers, you need to create a new data source object and use it to replace the previous one in the Domain. To change the data source, select a new one and click OK.
When you change the data source, settings in the Domain Designer that don't conform to the new data source are lost without prompting. Before you change the data source of a Domain, copy the Domain as described in Copying a Domain. For more information about switching the data source, see Switching the Data Source of a Domain. |
If the database supports schemas such as PostgreSQL, Oracle RDBMS, or virtual data sources, click Select Schemas at the bottom of the Manage Data Source dialog box to choose among available schemas in the data source. The tables in the schemas that you choose appear in the Data Sources panel.
The Data Source panel shows columns that have a supported type listed in Structure of the Design File. If the data source has special datatypes like CLOB or NVARCHAR2, or if you access synonyms on an Oracle database, you need to configure the server to recognize them. See the configuration chapter in the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide. |
