How to configure a direct project for web?

[renu123]

I have a direct project source and a project under it.
Now, I want to view the reports in this project on the web.
How do I deploy the reports in my project under 'direct' project source on the web?
If I modify the project source properties to Server, it does'nt work.
Please respond.

Thanks in advance.

you cannot use the direct source for web because the direct source is not server based. You need to configure a Intelligence server. First disconnect your direct source, close desktop. Use the "configuration wizard" under start>programs>mstr 7. It will prompt you for a DSN, use the same one as for your direct source. Start your intelligence server and then point web to this server.

THe mstr web solution requires a mid-tier server so that there are no problematic database connections onvthe web server. One more step for security assurance, not a bad deal.
