1.how do nyou configure link between fwm and database (source).if you created fwm where it will be?..

Answer / karna

1. To create link between FWM and DB(Source)
Open FM-->File-->New Project-->it will ask you to select
DATA Sources..we can select new DS to create or existing to
connect.If you select 'new' it will ask for type of ds
(Oracle,sybase) and click next then give Connection string
and userid/pw .then test for connection.if the connection
is succeeded.connection is established between model and DS.

2. Once model is created..it will be stored under projects
in location where C8 is installed.
(eg) if your modelname is 'sample' then it will be stored
as 'sample.cpf'..C:\Program files\C8\samples..

3. I you create reports..it will be stored as specification
in .xml file.
