On this page, we are going to show you how to create a new Data Source
in JasperReports Server. Data Source provides connection
between JasperReports Server and Database. If there is no data source in your JasperReports Server, a report cannot retrieve the data from the database.

Step 1: Login to JasperReports Server with your user id and password. Click on the View » Repository and expand the root folder, select Data Sources folder.
Step 2: Right-click on the Data Sources folder and go to Add Resource » Data Source.

Step 4: Click the Test Connection button, if the connection is successful that means JasperReports Server connected with Database.
Step 5: Now you are almost done. Click on Save button, and save the Data Source specify with a name.
