If you already have the Express Connection Editor installed, then you can simply use that version to create an XCF file with which you can connect to Express Server. You might not have to create any XCF files, if the appropriate ones have already been created. Use the following procedure to use the already installed Express Connection Editor with Oracle Reports.
To use an existing Express Connection Editor installation:
/olap
subdirectory in the ORACLE_HOME
directory in which Oracle Reports is installed./olap
subdirectory, create a subdirectory called ecf901
.ecf901
subdirectory, copy the xconnect.ini
file from the installation directory of the Express Connection Editor.xconnect.ini
from the ecf901
subdirectory
in a text editor. Ensure that the ConnectionPath
setting points
to whatever directory or directories hold the connection files that you plan
to use for connecting to Express Server from Oracle Reports Developer. Use
these files or use the Express Connection Editor to create other connection
files.Tip: Use semicolons to separate multiple directory specifications
for ConnectionPath
, if you want to store connection files in multiple
locations.
