Before you begin

Prerequisite

Before you prepare your Pentaho Repository, you must prepare either a Windows or Linux environment.

Note: The MySQL Connector/J 8.0 cannot be used when configuring Tomcat with the JDBC driver JAR.

Components

The Pentaho Repository resides on the database that you installed during the Windows or Linux environment preparation step, and consists of the following components:

• Jackrabbit

  Contains the solution repository, examples, security data, and content data from reports that you use Pentaho software to create.

• Quartz

  Holds data that is related to scheduling reports and jobs.

• Hibernate

  Holds data that is related to audit logging.

• (Optional) Pentaho Operations Mart

  To report on system usage and performance.
