Report Data Source Provider Settings

QAD 2017 Enterprise Edition > User Guides > Reporting Framework > Administering Reports > Report Data Source Provider Settings

The report data source provider settings are specified in the server-side client session configuration file (client-session.xml), which for the default environment is located in the file is located in TomcatInstallDir/webapps/qadhome/configurations
/default/client-session.xml.

In client-session.xml, the following specifies the report data source provider:

<Name>GenericProxy</Name>

<Assembly>QAD.Plugin.Reports.ReportFramework</Assembly>

<Class>QAD.Plugin.Reports.ReportFramework.GenericProxyDatasourceProvider</Class>

</Provider>

<Name>Browse</Name>

<Assembly>QAD.Browse</Assembly>

<Class>QAD.Browse.BrowseDatasourceProvider</Class>

</Provider>

<Name>FinancialAPI</Name>

<Assembly>BaseLibrary</Assembly>

<Class>BaseLibrary.Reports.BLFDatasourceProvider</Class>

</Provider>

</ReportDataSourceProviders>

Starting with the 2009.1 release of QAD Enterprise Applications, the settings for the BLFDatasourceProvider changed.

Starting with the 2009.1 release, the settings for the FinancialsAPI data source type are:

<Name>FinancialAPI</Name>

<Assembly>BaseLibrary</Assembly>

<Class>BaseLibrary.Reports.BLFDatasourceProvider</Class>

</Provider>

But previous to the 2009.1 release, the settings were:

<Name>FinancialAPI</Name>

<Assembly>BaseAdapters.Reporting</Assembly>

<Class>BaseAdapters.Reporting.DatasourceProvider.BLFDatasourceProvider</Class>

</Provider>

If you are upgrading from the 2009 release or prior, you can change the settings are needed for 2009.1 and above by editing the client-session.xml file accordingly.

After you make changes to report settings in Report Parameter Maintenance (36.4.21.3), you can change them back to the default settings. To do this, go to Report Settings Restore (36.4.21.23) and set Restore to Yes.
