I am working on existing report, this report was developed sourcing several xml files. Now I wanted to import some SQL Server tables and need to link to the xml files. Does this works?

 

When I create a link I have a Visual Linking message as:

Your current link configuration contains multiple starting points. Please be advised that this is generally not supported.

 

What this means? Can’t I use multiple sources in a single report?

Hi,

Yes, you can use multiple sources in a single report. That is the indication message that you are using multiple sources in the report.
 
but when you use multiple sources for single report it will impact the performance of the report.
