Modifying Interactive Reporting Database Connection Files

When you create an Interactive Reporting database connection file, you establish a working database connection file for data modeling and querying. You may need to modify an Interactive Reporting database connection file to reflect changes in the network or hardware configuration, or to manage other connection information.

Note:

Changes to basic connection configuration, such as new database or host name, require you to log off and rebuild the Interactive Reporting database connection file.

  To modify an Interactive Reporting database connection file:

  1. Close any open Interactive Reporting document files.

  2. Select Tools, then Connection, and then Modify.

    The Modify Connection dialog box is displayed.

  3. Select the connection file to modify and click Open.

    The Database Connection Wizard is displayed showing the information for the Interactive Reporting database connection file you selected.

  4. Make any desired changes and then save the Interactive Reporting database connection file when prompted.
