Creating a new MySQL data set using BIRT
After creating the data source, you must create a MySQL data set to create the output results for your report. You can also edit the output types after creating the data set.
Before you begin
You must have created a JDBC data source using BIRT.
You must have downloaded and installed MySQL Connector/J.
You must have created a database user with the Report Schema role in Unified Manager.
Steps
-
From Eclipse, select a workspace.
-
Select Data Explorer > Data Sets > New Data Set.
-
In the New Data Set dialog box, select the data source previously created, the data set type, and the data set name, and click Next.
-
Define an SQL query text using the available items, or manually enter the query, and click Finish.
-
Click Preview Results to confirm the SQL query, and then click OK.
-
In the Edit Data Set dialog box, define the output columns as necessary and click OK.
-
Drag items into the newly created report.
After you finish
You should now import the newly created report into Unified Manager.
