Sharing a Data Source

Each report folder under PESReports has a single data source named DataSource1, which is shared by all the report definitions in the folder. This data source is installed by the installer, and it should not require changes, unless the host name of the application server changes. The following visual shows the properties for DataSource1.

The Connection String settings are:

Provider. PacificEdgeSoftware.OleDbProvider.1
Extended Properties. Blank.
Location. <server>/<virtual dir> This should be the name of the application server/virtual Web folder of the application (the virtual Web folder is usually mariner).
Mode. Read.
Data Source. USETOKEN.
