It is FINALLY here – Manage Datasources

Since the very first time I downloaded the Pentaho suite I’ve been wailing, screaming, shouting, snarking that there absolutely MUST be a way to manage data sources that does not involve XML.

Well… Holy Shit. At just under 3 years it’s here (Pentaho Administration Console from 2.0.M3 build):

This is a most appreciated feature for those getting started with Pentaho! Thank you to the Pentaho Engineers for whipping it up!
PS – It’s not perfect yet, but should be solid by 2.0 GA

    Indeed, we all suffered in pain, editing DS until our fingers bled. 🙂 However, better later than never 😉 We are very happy indeed! However yet, the docs still have some way to go until they are promptly avaliable – it wouldn’t hurt (pain again) to save a readme pointing to the right wiki page or even a PDF dump from it.
