Some custom reports (RPTDESIGN files) depend on
custom XPath functions. You must import these functions before you can use
the corresponding reports.
Determine whether the report you want to use requires custom XPath
functions, and if it does, where to get the files with the appropriate XPath
functions. If user documentation for the custom report is not available, ask
the report designer.
To import custom XPath functions:
- If the files are in a compressed file, extract the files to a directory
such as C:/temp/xpath_extensions.
- In Eclipse, click .
- In the Install/Update wizard, click Search for new features
to install and click Next.
- Click New Local Site, select the folder
that contains the feature and plug-in for the function, click OK,
and click Finish.
- In the Search Results dialog box, select the feature and click Next.
- If you agree to the terms of the license agreement, click I
accept the terms in the license agreement, click Next,
and click Finish.
- When you receive a prompt to restart your computer, click Yes.
You can now generate a report from a report design that uses the
custom XPath functions.
