Helper IImpact of Data Source in Report
Hi,miwundu .Thank you for your reply.
For your mention that data sources created with Toad for Oracle may not be affected, this is true because the data sources themselves do not change as a result of the drive change.
However, there are a few more parts you need to be aware of: if the paths or connection strings for these data sources reference old shared drive paths, then those paths will need to be updated to the new network drive paths.
The new network drive may have different permission settings, and you will need to make sure that the reporting server and associated users have the appropriate access rights.Data backup is very important and I recommend you to backup all your important data in advance to avoid data loss issues.
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
Best Regards,
Carson Jian,

Helper IYes. My team is replacing a shared drive with a centralized network drive. My Database is Toad for Oracle. I believe data sources I created using toad Tables as source will not be impacted?
