connection to YellowFin Config DB
Answered
Is there a need to explicit connect to YellowFin Config DB or it is something that happens behind the scene ?
I only have a Data Warehouse connected to YellowFin. Under Data Source tab in Administration section there is only one Data Warehouse. Should I also connect YellowFin Config DB for tool store metadata.
The same question
Hi Sachin,
Yes, you can set up a separate data source connection to the Yellowfin config DB if you want to create views and content based off your instance's own data. So, for example, you might want to create audit content, for which we offer a set of views, dashboards and reports on our marketplace for free.
It's not needed, but a nice to have.
I hope that answers your question!
Kind regards,
Chris

so you are saying, if I just want dashboard based on Data Warehouse I don't need config DB ?
Also, then where will the metadata be saved of the dashboard/s I'll be creating ?

Hi Sachin,
You do need a configuration database set up, which is created when you install the product for the first time. You just don't need to also create a connection in the data sources configuration screen within Yellowfin itself.
I hope that makes things clearer.

Hope you're having a good week.
Just wanted to check-in and see how it's all going. Was there anything you were needing from me to help get this resolved?
