Load fact table - Multiple runs

July 13, 2015, 8:45 am

≫ Next: Using [ElasticSearch JavaScript API]

≪ Previous: Ctools 15.06.30 available

Hi Forum,

I've designed a star schema where source data comes from multiple Excel files.(There would be no any id's in this file) and I am taking the same excel file data as staging area.

Let's say, I have 10,000 rows for each excel file. I want to load each file data to fact table for each run. My ETL design is working as expected for 1st run(1st file data in staging area). All foreign keys mapped to fact table.
When I run the ETL for the 2nd time, how to add ID from 10001. (how to lookup here ?)

Dimension Tables :
1) dim_countries(country_id,country_name,country_code,region,income_group,special_notes,dw_updated_date) : country_id is PK.
2) dim_indicator(indicator_id,indicator_type,indicator_sub_type,indicator_code,indicator_name,source_organization,source_note,dw_updated_date) : indicator_id is PK
3)dim_year(year_id,year) : year_id is PK
Fact Table:
4) edu_fact(id,year_id,country_id,indicator_id,value) : id is PK and year_id,country_id,indicator_id are FK's.

* Loaded data in all dimension tables first.
* fact table design
( staging area(table input - same as flat file with no ids) --> country lookup with country_code(retrieve country_id) --> indicator lookup with indicator_code(retrieve indicator_id) --> year lookup with year(retrieve year_id) --> fact table ID(add sequence) --> value from staging area) -?Table output

* All lookup's are database lookup steps.

* Above design working fine to get the facts with all ids for the first run. When I run for the second time it is showing me the duplicate entry.

* staging area is designed to be truncated for each excel file load.
education_measures (is the staging table to load measures)
(
"Country Name" text,
"Country Code" text,
"Indicator Name" text,
"Indicator Code" text,
"year" character varying(4),
"value" text,
)

Could any one guide me on this ? I am confused which steps to be used and how to use max id from staging area.

Thank you in advance.

Highlighting a pie slice in ClickAction

≫ Next: Move data from Oracle RDBMS To Datastax Cassandra DB Using Pentaho Data Integrator

≪ Previous: Using [ElasticSearch JavaScript API]

Hi all,

I have a CCC Pie Chart setup with a ClickAction that uses fireChange to update a parameter for other elements to use.

My question is, can I do something to the Pie to visually show that a particular slice has been selected. Without knowing what is achievable I was thinking either changing the colour of the selected slice (or "deselect" the other categories, similar to when you select a legend item) or keep the activeSliceRadius out at 5%... the trick being that no matter what the solution, I need it to persist past a fireChange causes the dashboard to refresh.

Any help appreciated.

Hi All,

This is Rakesh.

I registered for the trail version from Pentaho and downloaded it for windows 32 bit.

Lately, We are trying to do a POC using NOSQL Cassandra DB. In Journey of this we are trying different ways to move data to Cassandra.

The DSE ( Datastax Enterprise ) is configured on Linux (Linux server RHEL 6.4 ).

I am trying to move data from Oracle(RDBMS ) To Datastax Cassandra using PDI. The version which I am using is 5.4.0.1-130

I am able to connect to oracle from PDI using JDBC Drivers ( ojdbc6.jar ) but facing problem in connecting to Cassandra using Design – Big Data - Cassandra output.

Please find attached logs and images for your reference….

Please contact me if you need further information.

Please help us resolve the setup issues. Your assistance would be appreciated.

Calculating a value from one to another field using Modified Java Script Value

≪ Previous: Table Input Error

Hi
I'm new to PDI, this community and javascript . I'm a Project Manager working for Unisys in switzerland. We are building a DWH for one of our clients and i'm evaluation pentaho as our data integration tool.

To my Problem:
I'm trying to calculate a value from one to another field. The goal is to convert swiss coordinates to wgs84 format (latitude, longitude). The input Fields are

Code:

EventCoordinatesX

EventCoordinatesY

the output fields are

Code:

x_wgs84

y_wgs84

thats the code i wrote in the javascript editor (shortened snippet)

Code:

x_wgs84=CHtoWGSlng(EventCoordinatesY, EventCoordinatesX);

y_wgs84=CHtoWGSlat(EventCoordinatesY, EventCoordinatesX);



// Convert CH y/x to WGS lat

function CHtoWGSlat(y, x) {

  // do something with input

  // lat is of type float

  return lat; 

}



// Convert CH y/x to WGS long

function CHtoWGSlng(y, x) {

  // do something with input

  // lng is of type float

  return lng;

}

kettle runs the transformation without encountering any error and writes my csv as expected. the problem is, that the output fields x_wgs84 and y_wgs84 does not contain any value. even if do something like

Code:

x_wgs84='something';

y_wgs84='somethingelse';

the output fields are empty. Looks like i misunderstood something hardly. what am i doing wrong?

any help would very apreciated. Thank you very much!

So we are looking to evaluate a CE edition of PDI and it looks like there is no up-to-date installation guides what so ever.
It's either absolutely out of date like this one or clearly refers to EE despite being supplied with CE version - I am referring to documentation included with what you get from sourceforge.

I am trying to install PDI with SQL Server as repository and it's a hurdle after hurdle which makes me confused why there are so many glaring reviews of Pentaho Data Integration. Is it on purpose to funnel people to EE?

Could not load dashboard: exception while getting tree rooted at path "/public/cde/components" Reference number: 328844a4-5a78-4fcc-9f16-8549d1a3e54f
But when I open any CDE Dashboard with admin user, then everything works as expected.

Here is the error from Tomcat log:

Code:

Hallo together,

while trying to send mails with TLS i got the following Error:

ERROR (version 3.2.5-zeb-10 from 2015-02-07 22.27.52) : Problem while sending message: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not convert socket to TLS;
nested exception is:
javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

I also tried to put the properties in the Spoon.bat file:

-Dmail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
-Dmail.smtp.starttls.required=true
-Dmail.smtp.auth=false
-Dmail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity=false
-Dmail.smtp.ssl.trust=*

Does anyone knows how to solve the problem.:confused:

Thank you.

Formulas for Grand Totals in Saiku

July 14, 2015, 7:57 am

≫ Next: Json Input could not open file - no rows found

≪ Previous: Problems sending Mail with TLS

Hello,

I am creating a Mondrian Cube and using it in a Saiku Analytics Report.

I use the option in Saiku to add a Grand Totals row. This works fine for all the columns which are summable. However, there are columns for which I want to tell the system not to apply the sum but in the case of a sum row, apply the row-wise formula.

For example the below table shows a Ratio% column which is ColumnA / ColumnB as a percentage. When I apply the Grand Total row using the Sum aggregation, I get the sum of the percentages as shown in red below.

Session	ColumnA	ColumnB	Ratio%
A	56	57	98,25%
B	40	45	88,89%
C	32	42	76,19%
Total	128	144	263,32%

How can I tell the schema or Saiku that in case of a Totals row being added, that column should not be summed up but it should rather apply the formula applied to the calculated member?

Thanks in advance.

Json Input could not open file - no rows found

≫ Next: Destination folder does not when copying files

≪ Previous: Formulas for Grand Totals in Saiku

Hi, I'm new to Pentaho Data Integration. I've been studying any kind of transformation, any kind of input actually (text, excel, XML) by following various tutorial and haven't found any problems except when trying using Json Input.

I've been following the exact tutorials, a lot of tutorials about json input but still can't get it works. It always get the "Sorry, no rows found to be reviewed" message. I've even using the (.ktr) file from the tutorial as well but still no luck.

I've found any important point about Json input, (1) addressing Json Path, and (2) validating the Json file using online site (even when I just copied it from the tutorial which is working in the tutorial) and have tried checking it multiple times and still can't get it works.

I've googled a lot of times but haven't found an answer yet. So I'm kind of desperate here.

What do you think is the problem? is it my computer stuff-version or what?
please, any kind of help will be really appreciated.

here is the screenshot of the error log

Thanks before
