Other Data Sources

The following data sources require additional knowledge and skills:

JDBC Custom

This is much like a standard JDBC connection, except you create a formula-based query through the Master Report's Attributes pane instead. See the Query attribute reference for more information.

Scriptable

Select your language, then add a query by clicking the round green + button, give your query a name, then type in your script in the Query field.

External

This data source is used when a report (.prpt - simple reporting component) is used in an .xaction. In the report, you must specify the result-set name for the query name attribute on the report. Also, you must add a report parameter using the same name as the result-set name and set the parameter to the tablemodel parameter type. The .xaction result-set can be MQL, SQL, MDX or JavaScript.
