Creating an XML/A Source
An XML/A source provides access to a single catalog (database schema) referenced by a Mondrian connection in a local instance of JasperReports Server. It defines a particular Mondrian connection in the repository that answers OLAP requests. The XML/A source is referenced by remote clients (such as an XML/A connection in a remote instance of JasperReports Server). The catalog name you specify uniquely defines the data that an XML/A client can retrieve from the source.
An XML/A source is also sometimes called an XML/A definition.

| Set Mondrian XML/A Source Properties Page |
| 4. | Enter XML/A source information. For example: |
| Name | SugarCrmMondrianXmlaSource |
| Resource ID | Sugar CRM Mondrian XML/A Source |
| Description | Sugar CRM Mondrian XML/A Source |
| Catalog | The name of the database that contains the data to analyze. |
| Mondrian Connection Reference | The path and name of the connection this XML/A source references. If the XML/A provider is JasperReports Server, its value is the connection’s URI. |
| 5. | Click Submit to save the XML/A source. |
Once you create an XML/A source in and XML/A provider such as Jaspersoft OLAP, you must create an XML/A connection in your client application that points to it. For more information, see Performance Tuning.
