In iAR v1:
After downloading the data source files, close the designer window. Back up the CRConfig.xml file in the {$Designer installation path}\Business Objects\Common\3.5\java directory, and then open the file to delete the following contents:

<JDBCURL></JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName></JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName></JDBCUserName>
<JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
<JNDIConnectionFactory></JNDIConnectionFactory>
<JNDIInitContext>/</JNDIInitContext>
<JNDIUserName>weblogic</JNDIUserName >.

Copy the contents in the downloaded data source files to where the deleted contents reside. The server IP address will be changed automatically according to the system deployment.

After you add or delete report data sources or edit data source names, you must log out and the re-log in for the report template list in the left navigation tree to show the most recent report data sources.
