JNDI is a method of separating data source configuration information from the actual use of the data source. Each data source has a unique name, under which the reporting engine can find the actual connection. A JNDI provider (usually part of a application infrastructure) manages all data sources and is responsible for connecting to the database.

Within the Pentaho Report Designer, you can define your common data sources in a local configuration file. The JNDI configuration for the Pentaho Report Designer is stored "$HOME/.pentaho/simple-jndi". Editing the contents of "report-designer/configuration-template/simple-jndi" has no effect, as the report designer is not using that directory at runtime. The Pentaho BI-Server uses its own configuration. You can edit the BI-Server's configuration via the BI-Server's Administration Console. |
Within the "simple-jndi" directory, edit a file called "default.properties", which should list all your data sources.
