Connecting to a pluggable data source (PDS)

To connect to a PDS that you have added to Reports Builder:

  1. Choose Fileright arrowConnect.

  2. In the Connect dialog box, type the required information in the User Name, Password and Database fields (click Help for more information).

  3. Click Connect.

Note: Reports Builder's standard logon is translated by the PDS API. The data source sees the connection string it expects regardless of what you entered or the order the fields appeared. Do not attempt to change the order of the fields in the dialog box to match the data source.
