Publishing to the BI Server

Follow this procedure to publish a report to the Pentaho BI Server.

Note: If your administrator has enabled row-level security, it is possible that some Pentaho User Console users may not have permission to run the report you are publishing if it includes information from restricted data sources.
  1. Open the report you want to publish.
  2. Go to the File menu and click Publish to Server.... The Repository Login window will appear.
  3. Enter your Pentaho BI Server connection information, then click OK. If you do not know what should go in any field in this dialog box, contact your system administrator or IT manager.
Report Designer will attempt to connect to your BI Server and publish the report to it. If everything is properly configured and you entered the right connection information, the operation will be a success. If there is a problem in your configuration, an error message should give you a clue about how to solve it.
