Hi,
I have 7 cores. In each data-config.xml , I have <dataSource name="ds1" type="JdbcDataSource" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/abcd" user="userName" password="passWord" /> There is similar structures on production, testing and partner instances. So if I have to make changes I have to do in all data-config files. I am looking for a mechanism where some variables Like dbname=abcd dbusre=username dbpass=password are defined in solr.xml file under ../server/solr_test directory and can be referenced .../servre/solr_test/{core_1,core_2,...core_7}/conf/data-config.xml Tired looking on net, I found articles that are telling me to edit solrconfig.xml in each core, that does not satisfy my need. I am using solr 5.3.1 Regards, Prasanna.
