Using a CSV file as a data source A BIRT Studio report design can use a comma-separated values (CSV) file as a data source if the CSV file is a predefined data set in a report template. To use the file as a data source, you must copy the CSV file to the appropriate directory. To determine which directory to use, download the .rptdesign file to a local directory as an XML file. In the XML code, locate the <data-sources> element, shown in the following example: <data-sources> <oda-data-source extensionID="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.flatfile" name="Data Source" id="266"> <text-property name="displayName">Data Source </text-property> <property name="HOME">C:\</property> <property name="CHARSET">UTF-8</property> <property name="INCLTYPELINE">YES</property> </oda-data-source> </data-sources> The HOME property shows the directory in which to place the CSV file.
