Select Start > All Programs > Angles for Oracle Generator Service > Data Source Administrator. The Noetix Data Source Administrator is displayed.

Under Data Sources, select New. The Add Data Source dialog box appears.

In the Data Source Type list, select NoetixViews, Noetix Analytics, or RapidDecision, and select OK. The Data Source window appears and displays the Data Source tab. The value that you selected appears in the Type box.

On the Data Source tab, do the following:

In the Name box, provide a name to identify the NoetixViews, Noetix Analytics, or RapidDecision instance.

In the User Name Format box, select one of the following values on the basis of the authentication type you want the Angles for Oracle Generator Service to use:

• WINDOWS_USER_NAME: Uses the Windows user name without the domain, active directory, or computer name. For example, JDOE will be used to authenticate a user whose full name is John Doe.
• WINDOWS_IDENTITY: Uses the fully qualified Windows user name in the <domain>\<user_name> format. The local computer name will be used for local, non domain, or active directory accounts. For example, CORPAD\JDOE will be used to authenticate the user John Doe, who is a part of the CORPAD domain.

  For NoetixViews, if business intelligence (BI) tool users are mapped in the <domain>\<user_name> format in the Security Manager dialog box of the Noetix Views (NoetixViews Administrator), then you can select WINDOWS_IDENTITY in the User Name Format box.

• WINDOWS_DOMAIN_NAME: Uses the domain or active directory. For example, CORPAD will provide access to all valid users who belong to the CORPAD domain.
