Edit configuration files for users

Your Cloudera administrators must download the configuration files from the platform for the applications your teams are using, and then edit these files to include Pentaho-specific and user-specific parameters. These files are then used to create a named connection. These files are embedded in the named connection xml file which can be found under user's directory: <username>/.pentaho/metastore/pentaho/NamedCluster. A file with a named connection is created when you create a named connection. In addition to this file a folder with a named connection name is created <username>/.pentaho/metastore/pentaho/NamedCluster/Configs/<user-defined connection name>. You will find config.properties under that folder which contains additional configurations for the named connection. Please save the edited file in a location for future use. . See the Pentaho Data Integration document for details about named connections.

The following files must be modified and provided to your users:

• config.properties

• core-site.xml if you are using secured instance of CDP

• hive-site.xml

• mapred-site.xml

• yarn-site.xml

Note: If you are editing configuration file(s) after named connection is created, you will have to edit named connection and upload the updated configuration files to the named connection.
