Creating Data Sources:
Click the "New Data Source" button.
How do we create a new data source for the sample oracle database?
Start by typing "gosales" for name of the data source and then click the Next button. Choose "Oracle" as the Type and click the Next button. The Connection String is "xe". Enable UserID and Password Checkboxes. The UserID is "gosales" and type the corresponding password as before.
Test the connection. It should be successful. If not, try to restart the Oracle database.
Once the connection is tested successfully, click the Finish button.


Repeat the above mentioned steps for "gosalesrt", "gosalesmr", "gosaleshr" and "gosalesdw".
