Once you've created a template for RDW, you must follow the below process to deploy
it to Report Design Wizard in Report Designer and Pentaho Data Integration.
-
Shut down Report Designer and Pentaho Data Integration if either of them are
currently running.
-
Create an icon for your template, in PNG format, with the same name as the
template file.
The size of the icon doesn't matter; RDW will scale it to fit the correct
dimensions. However, you can avoid unusual scaling issues by creating a
square-shaped (equal width and height) graphic. If you'd like further guidance,
take a look at the default template icons that Pentaho provides in the templates
directory.
-
Copy the icon and the PRPT template files to the following directories:
- /pentaho/design-tools/report-designer/templates/
- /pentaho/design-tools/data-integration/plugins/spoon/agile-bi/templates/
Your template is now deployed to Report Design Wizard and will be available when you
next start Report Designer or Data Integration.
