Step 1—Configuring Hyperion Interactive Reporting Data Access Service

Use the Services section in EPM Workspace (select Navigate, then Administer, then Reporting and Analysis, and then Services) to configure the Hyperion Interactive Reporting Data Access Service so the service references the database system that contains the Reporting and Analysis repository tables. The configuration must match the way that business reporting data sources are configured.

For example, if the repository is implemented using MS SQL Server, the Hyperion Interactive Reporting Data Access Service configuration is displayed in the Add Data Source to DAS screen with the parameters:

Connectivity Type: ODBC

Database Type: MS SQL Server

Select the name of the data source: metadata

Note:

The data source name is metadata, as created in the ODBC configuration, and references the database instance in MS SQL Server.
