How to change the datasource view of a mining model.

Hi,

I created on model in Business Intelligence Development studio.I wants to change the datasourceview(dsv) assigned for that view.for e.g

My mining Model is StudModel.dmm.

The dsv for that model is StudDSV.dsv.

I wants to change the dsv for that model to marksDSV.dsv.

How to do that in Business Intelligence Development studio.

Thanks,

Karthik.

The BI Dev Studio does not provide you with much support for this task.

You can change the DSV manually. It may be very easy or more difficult, depending on how similar the new DSV is compared to the original DSV.

Here is something you can do, manually:

- close the Mining structure designer window

- open the DMM file in BI Dev Studio (right click and select the View Code option)

- look for the <DataSourceViewID> element in the XML. Replace the content of the element with the id of your new data source view

- close and save the file

- double click on the DMM file to load it in the designer and validate the change

Now, if your new data source view contains different tables, or if those tables have differrent columns, more work needs to be done.

Note that the changes will only be visible after you re-deploy and process fully your mining structure

Hope this helps

How to change datasource location without having to connect to target database?

I know this is not related directly to Visual Basic, but maybe I can get some helpful feedback here.

We have developed a CR XI report using a local SQL Server database and several tables/views from it. The way we normally change the database a report uses is by going to the Change Datasource Location menu option, creating a new connection to the database and mapping both the main report and each table/view in the report to the new datasource and the new tables/views.

This is what I mean:

http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/3397/crtable4zp.jpg (specific table/view connection properties)

We now need to distribute this report to the client and need to change the database the report uses. We have the name of the server and database at the client's site, but we obviously have no access to connect to it.

How do we change the datasource location in this case?

Thank you in advance.By the way, I tried using the code in this Microsoft page:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/crystlrf/html/crlrftableclassapplylogoninfomethodtopic.asp

The code is:

Private Sub LogonToReport (ByVal server As String, ByVal database As String, ByVal ID As String, ByVal password As String)
Dim logonInfo As New TableLogOnInfo()
Dim table As Table

' Set the logon information for each table.
For Each table In Report.Database.Tables
' Get the TableLogOnInfo object.
logonInfo = Table.LogOnInfo
' Set the server or ODBC data source name, database name,
' user ID, and password.
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = server
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = database
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = ID
logonInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = password
' Apply the connection information to the table.
Table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logonInfo)
Next table
End Sub

(Although I actually used the C# variant, but this is a VB forum.)

The second the ApplyLogOnInfo method is called, the CR component tries to connect to the database. WHY? Is there a way to avoid this?|||I have used this same code and I still have a problem
The connection details are passed using an ini file.
When developing the report (the actual rpt file) we have one database e.g. db1. When the report is copied to the production server we have another database name e.g. db2
The report rpt file holds on to the first name (db1), even though the c# code is showing the database name passed is db2.
Does anyone out there know a way to get the report to use the new database name?sql
