Change the Package

If the name of the package that were used to create a report has changed, you must change the package connection to update the report.

At the same time, you can also change the authoring language for the report.

Procedure

  1. From the File menu, click Report Package.
  2. Click Another package and choose the new package.
  3. To change the authoring language, click the ellipsis button beside the Language box and choose a different report language.

    You may need to update the report to reflect the change. For example, any filter expressions in the report must be modified to reflect the syntax rules of the new language.

  4. Click OK.

    The new package is loaded and the report is validated. If errors are found, the Validation Errors dialog box appears, showing the elements that must be updated to reflect the package change.

  5. Click Close.
  6. Make any required changes in the report to support the new package.

    For example, you may need to link the data items in the report to the new package.

    Tip: You can use Query Explorer to make the changes.
