When you are ready to make your content available for others, you can publish it as a data source. The data source uses a data service that is automatically created on the step, and is available to other tools. You must be connected to your repository to publish the data source.
- Click the Publish data source button (
) at the top right of the header bar to open the Publish Data Source window.
- Click Get Started to open the Publish Details window.
Enter the data source information in the following fields:
| Fields |
Description |
| Data Source Name |
The name used by other Pentaho applications when accessing your data source. |
| Server |
The default value for this field is your current repository. You can select other repository connections, if you have created them, through the Repository Manager. |
| URL |
The base URL string used to connect to the server. |
| User Name |
The user name required to access the server. The user must also have publishing permissions. |
| Password |
The password associated with the provided user name. |
- When you are done, click Finish.
- Once your data source is created, a confirmation will appear. The data source should now be available on the server. Click Close to continue inspecting your data or click View this in User Console to open a new browser window and work with the data source in Analyzer.
