For the life of me I cannot find where Pentaho stores the user-created CDE Dashboard files in the file structure? I am using the Community Edition, and I assumed that all the files would be stored in /biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions. When I sign into the Pentaho User Console and select Browse Files, the folders I see do not match what I see in the pentaho-solutions directory. For example, there is a "Steel Wheels" folder in the Browse Files pane, but I cannot find it in the Pentaho directory. Similarly, if I create a folder and a CDE Dashboard within it, I cannot find it in the Pentaho directory. I have done find / -name "*.wcdf" and it doesn't find the CDE Dashboard I created.
I have tried a couple tutorials where I manually create the CDF files, such as index.properties, index.xml, the .xcdf file and .html file, and if I place the files in a folder in the /biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions directory (and of course, stop and start the Pentaho server), I do not see the dashboard show up in the Browse Files pane through the Pentaho User Console.
The files must be somewhere; likewise, if we manually create the files per the tutorials, they must be able to be placed somewhere for the PUC to pick them up. Can anyone please help? Sadly, I have already spent hours on this and not sure I will be able to figure this out without some help.
AFAIK, it depends on Pentaho version. From Pentaho 5 till current Pentaho 7 the Jackrabbit JCR repository is used to sort of 'emulate' a file system, but with possibilities to store the entire system in different storage types. Most of Pentaho server objects, such as CDF dashboards, datasource definitions etc are stored in this repository. In the default pentaho installation JCR uses a database with name 'jackrabbit' in your DBMS to persist its state. But the actual repository location can be defined somewhere in configuration files in pentaho-solutions/system/jackrabbit/ directory.
You cannot directly access the dashboard files outside the pentaho
server. If you want to access these files outside then you need to
download these files, you can download
dashboard.wcdf,dashboard.cda,dashboard.cdfde files from Pentaho your
console. Then again if you want to send your dashboard to your friend
or someone you can upload these files in pentaho user console.
I have an MS Access database (mdb) file on a Windows 2008 server. It's in the "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\files\databases" folder.
I would like to link an external query to this database that is also on my server in the "e:\share\m_maping\files\databases" folder (also an Access .mdb file). The e: drive is a partitioned drive on the server's only hard drive.
When I bring up the dialog to link this query, the tab for queries is not visible. I can see the tables tab but not the query tab.

Every time I log into the Accurev plugin in visual studio 2012 I have to re enter the server information. Has anyone else run into this issue?
What version of Windows are you running and what are the User Access Controls (UAC) settings for the system? Higher UAC settings will block writing to files located within the "Program Files (x86)" directory, which is where AccuRev is installed and maintains the "acclient.cnf" file. This is the file that lists which servers are available for you to login. Open this file with a text editor, add the server you login to by adding a line like the following:
SERVERS = myserver:5050
Please notice the spaces before and after the equals sign is intentional and needed. Your server name can use either the short name of the fully qualified domain name. The number after the colon is port number that AccuRev uses for establishing connections.
This file is located in the "AccuRev\bin" directory.
I'm trying to use SQL Server Management Studio to access my Visual Studio database which is saved in my documents folder. When I paste my path into the Attach database dialog, I get this error:
TITLE: Locate Database Files - LAPTOP\SQLEXPRESS
------------------------------
C:\Users\Flaxbeard\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Contacts\Contacts
Cannot access the specified path or file on the server. Verify that you have the necessary security privileges and that the path or file exists.
If you know that the service account can access a specific file, type in the full path for the file in the File Name control in the Locate dialog box.
And if I navigate manually to C:\Users\Flaxbeard, nothing shows up on the right. What is my issue?
