Configuring the Xtreme sample database

On Windows systems, you can use the Xtreme sample database to build and view sample reports.

To configure the Xtreme sample database
  1. Create a system DSN called "Xtreme Sample Database" that points to the Microsoft Access file for the Xtreme sample database. (Consult your operating system documentation for information about creating a system DSN.)

    2. Note:    If you have Crystal Reports or BusinessObjects Enterprise installed, the Xtreme Sample Database DSN already exists.

  2. Configure a Microsoft Access data source named Xtreme Sample Database on your web application server. For example, on an Apache Tomcat web application server, add the following environment entries to the web application deployment descriptor file (/WEB-INF/web.xml):

    3. <env-entry>

        <env-entry-name> jdbc/Xtreme Sample Database</env-entry-name>

        <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>

        <env-entry-value> !sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver!jdbc:odbc:Xtreme Sample Database</env-entry-value>

    </env-entry>

Note:    The JDBC-ODBC bridge driver is installed automatically with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SE), therefore, no special installation steps are required. However, note that Sun recommends that this bridge driver be used only for prototyping efforts.
