Connect to a Pentaho Repository

After a repository is created, a menu appears next to the Connect link. You can use this menu to connect to the repository.

1. Select a repository in the Connect menu.

   Note: If you are in the process of creating your first repository, select the repository after creating it, and then click Connect in the Repository Manager dialog box.

2. Log on to the repository by entering your User Name and Password credentials. For example, User Name = admin, Password = password.

3. Click Login.

   Note: If the connection fails, ensure that the port number and URL are correct.

   Your username and repository display name appears in the top right corner of the PDI client toolbar.

   Note: To make the Repository Connection window appear automatically when the PDI client starts, go to Tools > Options and click Show repository dialog at startup.
