repository. Performing Data Source Preconfiguration Tasks Before you can import physical objects from your data sources into your repository file, or set up connection pools to your data sources, you might need to perform configuration steps so that the data sources can be accessed by Oracle Business Intelligence. For many data sources, you need to install client components. Client components are typically installed on the computer hosting the Oracle BI Server for query access, and on the computer hosting the Administration Tool if different for offline operations Importing Metadata and Working with Data Sources 4-3 such as import. In some cases, client components must be installed on the computer where the JavaHost is located. This section contains the following topics: ■ Setting Up ODBC Data Source Names DSNs ■ Setting Up Oracle Database Data Sources ■ Setting Up Oracle OLAP Data Sources ■ Setting Up Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Data Sources ■ Setting Up Essbase Data Sources ■ Setting Up Hyperion Financial Management Data Sources ■ Setting Up SAPBW Data Sources ■ Setting Up Oracle RPAS Data Sources Setting Up ODBC Data Source Names DSNs Before you can import from a data source through an ODBC connection, or set up a connection pool to an ODBC data source, you must first create an ODBC Data Source Name DSN for that data source on the client computer. You reference this DSN in the Import Metadata Wizard when you import metadata from the data source. You can only use ODBC DSNs for import on Windows systems. To set up an ODBC DSN on Windows: 1. Open the Windows Control Panel by selecting Start Settings Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Data Sources ODBC.2.
