Define a new olap datasource with Pentaho 5.0 CE

Question

With Pentaho v4.x we can define new olap datasource in the file pentaho-solutions/system/olap/datasources.xml, but this file is missing in Pentaho 5.0 CE. How can I define new a olap datasource with Pentaho 5.0 CE?

The Pentaho documentation is not very helpful, they talk about a migration tool but I can't find a link to download it.

Some users on the Pentaho forum have similar questions, but no answer are given.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can define olap datasources in 5.0 using the manage Data Sources Functionality.

If you create a new Analysis Data Source, you'll be prompted for a schema file (the mondrian cube definition) that you can upload.

Answer 2

Also you can upload with the help of Manage datasource -->setting button (Next to new data source) -- >analysis -->Select you file .

You can pass parameter mannually if you are using DynamicSchemaProcessor.
