Create the Data Source

For end user client applications to connect to the new repository, each user needs to define a data source using an ODBC driver.

NOTE:  Oracle BI Presentation Services has the same relationship to the Oracle BI Server as any other client application.

You can create standard data sources, and data sources that will participate in a cluster. The steps to create a new data source are given in Connectivity and Third-Party Tools in Oracle BI Server.
