Changing your Yellowfin configuration database password

I think we can all agree that changing your passwords regularly is good practice to reduce your risk of exposure and avoid several dangers.

Most systems administrators will tell you that creating user accounts is not the most exciting task to do! It is repetitive and time consuming – even when using Yellowfin! Fortunately, there is a way to make this task less mundane.

Multi-tenancy: What you need to know

WikiPedia defines multi-tenancy as “a software architecture in which a single instance of software runs on a server and serves multiple tenants”.

There may be several reasons for moving your Yellowfin Application into a different location – you might be running out of space on the current disk drive or you just want to change the name of your Yellowfin folder.

Licensing - Expiration Reminder E-mails

Forgot your password?

These days everything requires passwords, and lots of them. It therefore is very normal that you will forget a password every now and then.

Java updated - Now what?

I am receiving many questions lately from users that are unable to start their Yellowfin environment. There are several reasons for this, mostly it is related to an incorrect Java path.
