This manual provides users with a step-by-step
process on how to establish a unique Datasource to generate specific reports from
the Training Database. It serves as a workaround for situations where the
client does not have a dedicated separate report server for the training
database. With this, we can generate specific RDLs or reports for the training
database during cycle testing.
To implement this, there are two steps you need
to follow.
Step 1: Create a Data source for the Training
Database
1.
Start by navigating to 'Global Settings' in your
Health Information System (HIS).
2.
Copy the report URL provided within this
section.
3.
Now, paste the report URL into your web browser,
excluding the letters 'ERVER' from the URL.
4.
Within your Report Server, locate and click on
'Data Sources' to access the relevant data."
5. Click the New Data Source
\
6. In this section you need to fill in the
following details.
a. Create
the name for your data source
b. Data
source type should be ‘Microsoft SQL Server’
·
Connection
string should be like this.
·
Data
Source=DESKTOP-H23DNI1;
·
Initial
Catalog=Training_DBARNOLD;
·
User
ID=sa;
·
Password=s@password1
·
Data
Source is from your Server Name.
·
Initial
Catalog = Your Training Database name
·
User
and Password is the password of your SQL.
c. Choose “Credentials stored security in the
report server”
i. Username: Your sql username
ii. Password: Your sql password
d. Click
“Test Connection” - “Connection created successfully”. should be shown after you click the Test
Connection
e. Click “Apply”
STEP 2: After creating a Training Datasource, kindly
upload the RDL you need to test using the Training Database
1.
Begin by uploading the RDL file that you wish to
test.
2.
Next, from the dropdown selection, opt for
'Manage.'
3.
Navigate to the 'Data Source' tab within the
management options.
4.
Click on 'Browse' to locate the file you want to
use as a data source.
5.
Select the 'Training_Datasource' from the
available options.
6.
Click 'OK' to confirm your selection.
7.
Finally, click 'Apply' to complete the data
source configuration."
8. Setup your HIS connecting to your Training
Database
9. Set up the report you need to test in Manage
Report Settings
a. Choose the report where your RDL report comes
from.
b. Click the Edit button.
c. Paste your uploaded RDL report name in the
Customized Format.
d. Then Save and Close
10. Finally, we can now preview the report from the
Training Database.
