As an FYI, I'm new to this entire stack, so I might be making a basic error. I'm attempting to explore BIRT reporting for a Maximo system that was recently upgraded. To do so, I installed the following: <ul> <li>Java 6 & Java 7 JDKs</li> <li>BIRT version of Eclipse (Eclipse + BIRT plugins built in).</li> <li>Some Oracle 11gR2 client options (a custom install) <ul> <li>SQL*Plus</li> <li>JDBC/ODBC drivers</li> <li>Thin Client</li> </ul></li> </ul> I take the following steps: <ul> <li>Open Eclipse</li> <li>Create a new Reporting Project</li> <li>Add a Data Source</li> <li>Select "JDBC Data Source" (also tried "JDBC Database Connection for Query Builder")</li> <li>Select the "Oracle" connection profile type and click next.</li> </ul> At this point, I see that the drivers list is empty. This strikes me as odd, but I figure maybe I have to define the driver definition. So I take the following steps: <ul> <li>Click "Define driver definition"</li> <li>In the Name/Type tab, select "Oracle Thin Driver", system version 11</li> </ul> At this point, I see an error message: Unable to locate JAR/zip in file system as specified by the driver definition: ojdbc14.jar. It seems that ojdbc14.jar doesn't even exist on my system that I can find. I have tried adding other jdbc jar files that I can find in the oracle client directory (i.e. from Oracle_Base\product\11.2.0\client_1\jdbc\lib) but nothing seems to resolve the issue. Help?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
