CDA & Query schechuled refresh

Hello.

As my topic says, I am wondering how can I schedule a query to be run or refreshed let's say in every 30 second? I know that this can be a silly question, but this is all new to me so bare with me :-)
Do I have to do some coding to all the querys that I want to be refreshed every 30 seconds, or is there some global CDA-timing-table that can refresh all my querys the same time?

If you have a hunch or a solution(s) regarding this, please reply! All the help is needed atm.

Hi all,
I have not found clear information on how to transfer cde objects from 4.8 to 5.1
I think a "how-to" guide would be of great help for many users who have chosen C-Tools for their dashboards.
Thank you

Confusion over database connection scope - local Spoon versus Data Integration server

July 7, 2014, 1:56 am

Hi all,

We have installed Pentaho Data Integration on a Linux server running on an Amazon EC2 instance and I'm using Spoon running on my Windows PC.

On starting Spoon, I login to the repository which is running on the EC2 server using the corresponding IP address for the URL i.e. I know I am connecting to the EC2 repository and not a local copy.

I am having trouble with the database connections as they seem to be emanating from the local Spoon client rather than the Data Integration server running on EC2.

For example, if I connect to the di_jackrabbit database using 'localhost', it is connecting to a local version of the database on my Windows PC rather than the version running on the EC2 server.

The key issue is that the database I need to connect to is configured for access (firewall and JDBC access permissions) from the EC2 server and not my Windows PC so I am getting 'Connection timed out errors' when I try to connect.

Thanks!

Hello everyone

I'm trying to get working the following query:

Code:
WITH                   
MEMBER Measures.ECns AS ([Measures].[Amount], [Indicator].[Energy Consumption])                   
MEMBER Measures.ECost AS ([Measures].[Cost], [Indicator].[Energy Consumption])                   
                   
SELECT                   
NON EMPTY {[Measures].[EnergyCons], [Measures].[EnergyCost]} ON COLUMNS,                   
NON EMPTY {[Time.Semester_Quarter_Time].[All Time.Semester_Quarter_Times].Children} ON ROWS                   
FROM [Cube]                   
WHERE CROSSJOIN([Geo].[Americas].[North America],[Center].[root].Children)  * {[Time.Semester_Quarter_Time].[Year].[2011]:[Time.Semester_Quarter_Time].[Year].[2013]}
But I'm getting the following error:
Quote:
MondrianException: Mondrian Error:Hierarchy '[Time.Semester_Quarter_Time]' appears in more than one independent axis.
I think that I'm using different levels on the rows and where axis ([All Time.Semester_Quarter_Times] and [Year]) but I cannot make it work. Am I doing something wrong or it has anything to do with this http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread...different-axes ?

Is it an isolated case for Mondrian 3.X? The following query works flawlessly on SSAS:

Code:
SELECT [Measures].[Recuento] on 0,
Hierarchize({[Tiempo].[Ano].Members}) on 1
FROM [DWH Pruebas]
WHERE [Tiempo].[Calendario].[Ano].&[2013]

Thanks in advance!

Adminstration : Users and Roles in 5.0 CE

Hi Forum,

I have put my CDE project folder under Home folder of "Folders" Panel. Now what I would like to do is give access to this folder(access to dashboards) for specific users only..

For doing this I have done below.

Created two users : Let's say : user1 and user2
Created two roles : Let's say : role1 and role2

role1 Operation permission is : Read content
role2 Operation permission is : Create content

I have shared the CDE project folder for user1 in it's properties .. ( though it is asking for roles and users I have given user1 i.e., assuming user1 associated role is role1).

Now I have logged out from the server( logged in with Admin & password) and logged in with user1/user1... and then trying to access the CDE project.. As I log-in with user1/user1 the server has to show only user1 folder under Home but it is showing all the other users(Admin,suzy,tiffany,pat,user1,user2).. And user1 operation is Read content but I can see Create New Option when I move to HOME or File->New is accepting for new creation which should not happen as it is Read content.

On the other case, I have loggedin using user2 which is for create content ..

How can I make my CDE dashobards to view for user1 and create for user2 ?

Thank you in advance

Setting data source programatically for integration testing

I'm trying to set up automatic (Java) integration tests for a suite of jobs and transformations. I would like to do this using an in-memory HSQLDB instance, and would like the configuration to be flexible so I can swap out the configuration and run Kettle components from a servlet against a different database. After googling and experimenting I'm getting close, but haven't figure out how to get my Kettle runner to use the provided data source.

The data source is configured as a Spring bean:

Code:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"  destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:weeklyreport"/>
    <property name="username" value="sa" />
    <property name="password" value="" />
  </bean>
This data source is injected into a Spring bean that I use to run Kettle transformations and jobs:

Code:
public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource) {
    this.dataSource = dataSource;
    DataSourceProviderFactory.setDataSourceProviderInterface(new DataSourceProviderInterface() {
      @Override
      public DataSource getNamedDataSource(String s) throws DataSourceNamingException {
          return dataSource;
      }
  });
}
From the example I saw at http://devno.blogspot.de/2013/03/pen...sion-with.html I thought that would be enough - but when I run the transformations from my test I see that they use the same PostgreSQL database they're configured to use. I went through the API docs, but couldn't find any way of making a transformation or job use this data source.

Thanks,

I'm generating static HTML reports through the PDI integration tool, developing the reports in Pentaho report designer (3.9.4). My reports have several rows of data which when viewed on the BI server can be exported to csv or excel through the portal. I'm looking for that same functionality built into my prpt reports using the report designer. My reports will be viewed outside of the BI server and the user must still have the ability to export the results. I have been unsuccessful in finding any resources to add this functionality to the report (.prpt) and using Ctools is not an option. Does anyone have a solution or a resource that can help?

Repository Export and Import

I using Kettle PDI 5.0.1-stable. Currently we are using a database repository using PostgreSQL. I would like to export the repository from the Postgres DB repository and load it to a file system repository. I have tried using the "Repository Export.ktr" and "Repository Import.ktr" samples to accomplish this task. The Export appears to work as expected. But when I try to import the data using the import KTR I get the messages below, it appears that the process locates the first folder/transformation and then errors. I looked at the distribute field in the XML file and it is "<distribute>Y</distribute>".

As of this post, only 5.1-SNAPSHOT and 5.1.preview.506 are posted. When will the 5.1-STABLE artifacts be posted? We are ready to upgrade our app, but prefer to let Maven handle dependencies.

Basics/Troubleshooting Oracle Bulk Loader

July 7, 2014, 11:19 am

Hello All-

I am trying to set up and handle the initial configuration of PDI (kettle) to almost exclusively load large data files (fixed width, csvs, 0-20GB file size) into our Oracle data warehouse. I am planning on setting it up to run locally on a laptop with a scheduler and backing up the repository to a network drive. The machine itself Windows XP 32 bit (I know, I know-my employer).

I followed the setup instructions to get the correct JRE installed and created the environment variable. The application folder is currently residing on my desktop. When I run spoon.bat everything appears to initialize properly (although briefly the command console flashes and I see DEBUG proceeding what appear to be the path to JRE, etc.). I have been able to setup a basic no frills job that replicates the basic workflow (Initialize->Get a file with SFTP->Unzip/Move/Rename (To data archive on network drive)->Oracle Bulk Loader (Transformation Step)->End).

I have managed to get it to the point where everything appears to be working except the Oracle Bulk Loader step. PDI connects to SFTP, moves the file to the data archive, handles the file management steps, the Oracle bulkloader step runs (indicates successfully), but instead of the job ending it starts repeating itself for some reason. When I run the transformation step by itself, it just switches from idle to finished without loading anything. I have tested the connection to the dev environment and the references to all the files appear correct (Target Schema, Target Table, sqlldr file and path, data file, log file, bad file, and a selection of fields to load to start). When I test the oracle connection via ODBC (not using JDBC) it says that it is connected.

Oracle Bulk Loader.jpg

I am data analyst/consultant/scientist by training and not particular familiar with the ETL/data ops world, but inherited a real convoluted mess of a monthly data load process so hence trying to corral it with a properly managed ETL appliance. If anyone would be able to provide me with an oracle bulk loader example or help me troubleshoot, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
John

Buenas, les comento un problema con el que me encontré. Yo ejecuto pentaho report designer en Ubuntu 12.04. Cuando previsualizo el reporte en PDF y lo guardo en el mismo formato, en mi PC lo veo bien. En otra maquina que corre OS X 10.8.4 tambien visualizo sin problemas el archivo. Pero en las maquinas que corren windows XP y seven, algunos text-field no aparecen. Al abrir el archivo con Adobe Reader sale el siguiente mensaje:
"Hay un error en esta pagina; puede que Acrobat no la muestre correctamente. Diríjase a la persona que creo el documento PDF para resolver el problema."

Probe instalando Sumatra PDF pero obtuve el mismo problema. Cambie en File->Configuration...output-pageable-pdf el encoding a iso-8859-1 pero obtuve el mismo resultado. Alguna idea al respecto?

Scheduled xaction generates one html file every time it runs

Im using Pentaho 5 ce bi-server. I've been using 4.8 version previously and created some xaction that were running automatically once per day by schedule. That works fine in 4.8. Now i've migrated those xaction's and scheduled them in bi-server version 5. They work ok both ways (running manually and scheduled) but the problem is that every time that any xaction run auto by schedule, it creates an html file with the name of the xaction file.
For example, i've a xaction named LoadLilo and every it runs by schedule create an LoadLilo.html. Because of this, in the same folder where LoadLilo xaction file resides, i got many html's (LoadLilo.html, LoadLilo(2).html, LoadLilo(3).html, LoadLilo(4).html, LoadLilo(5).html) and keep appearing as the scheduler run the xaction.

Is there any way to avoid this? Maybe in the creation of the xaction using Pentaho Design Studio there is a way to disable saving the resultant html...

Any help?

PS: when i open any of this html files, i see the result page containing "Action Successfull"

Thanks and sorry for my english.
