Step 3 : Selection of Data Adapter for creating New Dataset and click Next as shown in below screenshot :


Step 4 : Writing query of the data adapter selected.Click Next. Select Fields which are required in that dataset. Click Next.
 

Step 5 : This is an important and final step which can decide the output of the Dataset. Selecting Connection for which the Dataset will respond.
There are various ways to add connections if the Dataset is not a part of Main report connection.Currently v'll be using Master connection which act as Main report connection.Click Next.


Step 6 : Columns which are required in table output will be selected here.Click Next.


Step 7 : Layout of table like Color effects, cell borders, Header & Footer selections etc. can be chosen here.


Step 8 : Rearrange the x&y axis and w&h position of table that can make table look like attractive report and preview the report.




Check my next post for more advanced level of table creation and usage.

Tibco Spotfire Architecture

Spotfire Architechture Lecture 1 : Spotfire Architecture On-Premise Setup : It contains Spotfire Server(Processing logic) as a BOX and Spotfire DB (Enumerable Databases with connector provided by spotfire). Anything server connected client saves in spotfire server is directly saved in spotfire db. Client and Server should not be in same machine. Spotfire Cloud (Software As A Service) : Server + Spotfire DB goes to Cloud. Admin work(Configurations, Security, Client setups, db connectivity, payment for spotfire server and db, maintenance, etc)   is to be done by cloud organization. Hence its called SAAS. Unlimited Scalability (performance, ram size increase when number of client adds to spotfire server. OLTP Connectivity: ( Not allowing pressure on OLTP (max one month Data not the historical Data i.e not Live Data) hence creating Data Warehouse for accessing Data using ETL). ODS (Operational Data Store) can store Historical Data ...
