Before you begin

Before you connect to the Pentaho Server, set the connection path to the metastore, which is where these types of connections are stored.

1. Navigate to the pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/kettle/plugins/pentaho-big-data-plugin directory and open the plugin.properties file with any text editor.

2. Locate the hadoop.configurations.path property and set the value to the metastore directory. For example, /home/devuser/.pentaho/metastore.

3. Save and close the plugin.properties file.

4. Restart the server
