Connecting to an e.report
When creating an ActuateOne for e.Reports data source in a BIRT report to connect to an e.report, you specify the Encyclopedia volume that contains the ROI files. You specify iHub connection properties and the name of the Encyclopedia volume. Specify the use of a trusted connection to improve performance. As you edit the data source and the data set, a trusted connection uses the same session to communicate with the iHub. A non-trusted connection uses the specified credentials to log in to the iHub for each communication.
