hi experts,
my first day with jasper
i downloaded and installed jasperreports-server-5.6 & jaspersoftstudiopro-5.60
i can't find a way to add new data source to my sql DB and create the report (jaspersoft Studio Professional).
if anyone has a link to show steps for beginners, it would be perfect.
the tutorial here doesn't have the same interface i have. i tried to add snapshoot of my jasper but upolading picture here is so slow.
thanks in advance,
Samira

IN the doc http://community-static.jaspersoft.com/sites/default/files/docs/jasperso..., look at the section 10.1, create Data Adapters, and select Database JDBC connection. Then look at section 10.2 Creating Database JDBC Connections.
One thing that might confuse you is that Jaspersoft products don't include the native MySQL driver, because of licensing issues. So unfortunately you will need to download and install a MySQL driver. Here's a modified version of the instructions in the doc:

This is your best friend. I don't remember exactly how to do it. It should prompt you in studio while you are setting up a new report.
What tutorial were you looking at that confused you?
