Editing an XML/A Connection
| In previous releases, XML/A connections that pointed to remote JasperReports Server instances had to specify slightly different information than what is required in this release. If you have recently upgraded from a version prior to 5.6, you must edit these XML/A connections' Data Source field. For example, in previous versions, the Foodmart XML/A connection specified: Provider=Mondrian;DataSource=Foodmart During upgrade, this connection must be changed to: Provider=Mondrian;DataSource=JRS |
To edit an XML/A connection’s naming and properties:
| 1. | In the Search field, enter the name (or partial name) of the connection you want to edit, and click the Search icon. For example, enter sugar. |
The search results appear, displaying objects that match the text you entered.
| 2. | Right-click the XML/A connection you want to change and click Edit. |
The Set Connection Type and Properties page appears.

| 3. | Make changes as necessary. |
| 4. | Click Test Connection. |
Jaspersoft OLAP attempts to connect to the remote server:
| • | If it can connect, a message indicating success appears. |
| • | If the connection fails, a message indicating the type of problem appears. For example, the message might indicate that a catalog with the specified name was not found in the data source; re-enter the catalog name and test the connection again. If a data source with the specified name isn't found, the message may indicate that no data source was found; examine your remote server's data sources, update the connection's details, and click Test Connection again. |
| 5. | Click the Show Details link to learn more about the problem. |
| 6. | When the test succeeds, click Submit. |
The edited XML/A Connection appears in the repository.
