Pentaho JNDI source name as parameter (Multi-Tennant)

Question

I have googled this for the last half an hour, and found hits for pentaho parameters etc but nothing that appears to ask or answer this question.

I have a set of reports

Answer 1

OK, I have found a better solution using the little documented multi-tennant feature.

1) Stop Pentaho

2) Modify ( pentaho-solutions/system/pentahoObjects.spring.xml )

3) Add Suffix to Data Sources ( biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/pentaho/META-INF/context.xml )

4) Delete /tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/pentaho.xml

5) Restart Pentaho, create a user someone@xxx etc etc

6) Create a report using the JNDI Name "MYDBSRC"

7) Login as someone@xxx and you will get a different report / datasource than either logging in as user, or user@aaa

Tadah !!
