You must create a data source before creating a data set. For information about creating a data source, see

  1. Choose Data Explorer.
  2. Right-click Data Sets and choose New Data Set from the context menu.
  3. New Data Set appears.

  4. Specify the properties of the data set.
    1. In Data Set Name, specify a name for the data set.
    2. The data set name must be unique in the report design.
    3. In Data Source, use the drop-down list to choose a data source to use for this data set.
    4. In Data Set Type, select SQL Select Query to use a query. To use a stored procedure, select SQL Stored Procedure Query.
  5. Choose Finish.
  6. Edit Data Set appears.
    You use Edit Data Set to specify the data to retrieve from the data source. For information about this task, see How to specify a SQL query for a JDBC data set.
