Some custom reports (RPTDESIGN files)
depend on custom XPath functions. You must import these functions
before you can use the corresponding reports.
Before you begin
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.
Procedure
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.
What to do next
You can now generate a report from a report design that uses
the custom XPath functions.
