Selecting a data source

If Reporting Tool and the tracing system are not installed on the same machine, you need to select a system data source that references the transaction database on the tracing system machine.

To select a data source:

  1. Click File > Source.
  2. The system displays the standard Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box.

  3. Click the System DSN tab.
  4. In Data Source Name, click TrxDB.
  5. Click Add.
  6. The system displays the Create New Data Source dialog box.

  7. Click Microsoft Access Driver.
  8. Click Finish.
  9. The system displays the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup dialog box.

  10. Click Select.
  11. Locate and click the transaction database you want to use.
  12. This is the database that you installed as part of the system installation, for example, C:\Program files\Tracing.

  13. In the Select Database dialog box, click OK.
  14. In the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup dialog box, click OK.
  15. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box, click OK.
