Imagine opening report studio without a package? so the answer is 'NO'. At least we need a dummy package to open report studio as well and from there we can create a new report by writing our own SQL query in query explorer

Hi Yunus,
Here the requirement is without FM..i.e. without the package
...so if we use the sql query..like for eg. we do select *
from _____??? ultimately we will have to reference a data
item i.e. the package, we don't want this.
And yes we can import excel through ODBC after doing system
dsn settings and all but again we do that in the framework
manager while importing the data source... the question
asked was can we do it independently in report studio with
no acess to FM or the package..if so how..can you let me
know the detailed steps if there is such an option available
because i don't think there is any as far as i know..pls
confirm!!

Alisha,
You dont have to reference the FMW package anywhere.
Just do the following
Report Studio-> Query Explorer-> Queries-> drog SQL -> write a
query and validate that against the database-> once it is validated all the items will be found under the SQL from where you can select it in as query items

Answer / rahul
Yes, we can create report without using FM Package.
Use SQL override -Go to Query Explorer -On left Topside -SQL override-Drag it and go to properties (Bottom Left) -select the source and set Native SQL/Passthrough SQL (Dont use IBM Cognos Sql).
SQL Override is not prefered method( we are missing minimised SQL concept).
