Configuring the Xtreme sample database

On Windows systems, you can use the Xtreme sample database to build and view sample reports. If you do not have the Xtreme sample database installed, download it from the Developer Zone.

To configure the Xtreme sample database
  1. Create a system DSN called "Xtreme Sample Database 10" that points to the Microsoft Access file for the Xtreme sample database. (Consult your operating system documentation for information about creating a system DSN.)
  2. Note:    If you have Crystal Reports 10 or Crystal Enterprise 10 installed, the Xtreme Sample Database 10 DSN already exists.

  3. Configure a Microsoft Access data source named Xtreme Sample Database 10 on your web application server. For example, on an Apache Tomcat 4.x web application server, add the following environment entries to the web application deployment descriptor file (/WEB-INF/web.xml):
  4. <env-entry>

        <env-entry-name> jdbc/Xtreme Sample Database 10 </env-entry-name>

        <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>

        <env-entry-value> !sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver!jdbc:odbc:Xtreme Sample Database 10 </env-entry-value>

    </env-entry>

Note:    The JDBC-ODBC bridge driver is installed automatically with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SE), therefore, no special installation steps are required. However, note that Sun recommends that this bridge driver be used only for prototyping efforts.
