Report Designer configuration files

Upon first launch, Report Designer creates a .pentaho directory in the current user's home directory, and populates it with the following subdirectories:

• caches

  Contains cached fonts, which speeds up report rendering

• classic-engine

  A cache directory that contains low-level options saved by the Pentaho Reporting engine

• report-designer

  Contains both the default Pentaho-supplied report samples and content, and user preferences for the Report Designer interface

• report-design-wizard

  Contains the default Pentaho-supplied Report Design Wizard templates

• simple-jndi

  Holds a single properties file that contains JNDI connection information. By default it has connection details for the Pentaho-supplied HSQLDB sample database

The following files contain various configuration options for Pentaho Reporting. The options are not particularly self-explanatory and their value limits are not obvious; therefore, you shouldn't change any options in these files unless you are following guidelines from Pentaho documentation or are assisted by a Pentaho support or consulting representative.

• pentaho/design-tools/report-designer/resources/report-designer.properties

  Contains options for the Report Designer client tool. It does not change any report options.

• pentaho/design-tools/report-designer/resources/classic-engine.properties

  Contains global report rendering options for reports generated locally from Report Designer. Some of these options can be overridden in individual reports.

• tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/classes/classic-engine.properties

  Contains global report rendering options for published reports that are generated on the Pentaho Server. Some of these options can be overridden in individual reports.
