Before you can use a text file as a data source, you must set up the Text PDS
configuration file (textpds.conf
) with your text file's format
information. With this data definition in the configuration file, Reports Builder
can recognize your text file as a valid data source.
For an example of a valid textpds.conf
entry, see the chapter
"Building a Report with a Text Pluggable Data Source" in the Oracle
Reports Building Reports manual, available on the Oracle
Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
).
