How to locate the correct installation instructions for PDI Community edition on MAC?

June 30, 2018, 7:24 pm

I'm trying to get this application into shape at a development environment-type level.

However, as previously, I cannot find a complete and coherent set of instructions and documentation that do not bounce around between production commercial version docs and community version docs.

Based on this third go-round over that many years, and having spent 4 months working through SSIS, I'm leaning toward following the commercial version docs. But... I really have no confidence that that i will be able to disambiguate the actual installation layout and configuration if I am working with the community edition installer.

So I'm stuck with a dual-proc, 12 core, Intel Mac 'server' box with 96GB RAM and 6TB of Raid, and postgres 10. And I have a couple other server-sized boxes that will suffice for a SPARK infrastructure.

So where are the complete, coherent, reliable installation instructions that will allow me to actually complete a working installation of PDI, and its related apps with a database repository?

I'm 10 days into this latest attempt and I'm getting no closer to a development environment than broken examples from a 'just unzip it' version.

If the community version is really just a hobbyist tinker, or if there actually is no solid support for a mac, please just say so. If not, where are the detailed instructions necessary to succeed with a working open-source infrastructure?

My opinion is that being unable to succeed with a workmanlike implementation should not be chalked up to OS or developer idiosyncrasies. So I have hope...

Thanks,

LDAP connection timeout setting (pooling)

I'm having intermittent problems connecting to an LDAP server (an AD server). I have a PDI job scheduled to run via cron that will randomly fail to connect to the repository because of authentication failure. Here's the relevant log output from pentaho.log.

Quote:
2018-07-01 00:51:45,173 DEBUG [org.springframework.security.ldap.authentication.BindAuthenticator] (LoggingInterceptor) Exception: org.springframework.ldap.ServiceUnavailableException: 10.40.4.5:389; socket closed; nested exception is javax.naming.ServiceUnavailableException: 10.40.4.5:389; socket closed; remaining name 'ou=Users,ou=PBZINC,dc=pbzinc,dc=loc'
I did some TCP packet inspection using Wireshark. It appears that [sometimes] BI Server is leaving the LDAP connection open (no unbindRequest) for reuse, but Active Directory kills inactive LDAP sessions after 15min. (the MaxConnIdleTime setting) . When BI Server sends an LDAP searchRequest command without first issuing a bindRequest command there is no response from the AD server if it's a timed out connection on AD.

Is there a timeout configuration setting that can close these "pooled" LDAP connections on BI Server? Or can LDAP pooling be turned off?

I'm on version 8.0 BI Server. Just to clarify, LDAP authentication is working otherwise.

Importing external reports

I have several reports: they are basically clones (same header and footer with a slighlty different body).
I would like to create a report for the heading part and another one for the footer and import those new reports in the old ones.
With this approach if I edit something in the header/footer it would automatically update in every report that includes the imported one.
Is it possible to do this or something like this?

libwebkitgtk is missing

Hey everybody,

I installed PDI 7 on my Ubuntu 16.0.4 with Java JDK 10. I also installed the libwebkitgtk-1.0.0 using the following command: sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

Still when I initiate PDI I get the following message:

"Unfortunately, the libewebkitgtk-1.0 package is missing. For the best experience, we recomend that you install the libwebkitgtk-1.0 package and restart the application before continuing."

Does anybody experienced that before? I saw another post on the forum about this (https://forums.pentaho.com/threads/2...on-7-1-0-0-12/) but I didn't find the swt.desktop file on my /applications folder. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I have to create a field called "Flag" that resets each time a value in an specific field changes. In the example below, the field "Flag" changes from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1 every time the field "Group_Field" changes. I have tried to do this with the "Add value fields changing sequence" step but the problem with this step is that every time the sequence number is reset is starts at 1. Can anyone help me to do this?

Thanks in advance.

How to use the same output file as a stream lookup

Hi All,

I am trying to do the following,

Input CSV:
MRN Name
10 Tushar
10 Tushar
20 Akash
30 Vijay

Expected Output:
MRN Name
10 Tushar
20 Akash
30 Vijay

Note: I don't want to use any 'sort' and 'unique' step to get the unique output in the output.csv

I am trying to do the above using below steps.
  1. Read the first row from input CSV and load into the output CSV.
  2. Read the second row from input CSV and check whether that MRN is already present in the output CSV or not, if yes then ignore else insert.

The issue with this approach is : How do I use the same file as output and stream lookup.

So when I run the transformation, stram lookup automatically picks up each row inserted in the output CSV


Can you please someone help me out to do the above ?

Hi
Would appreciate some advice on how to achieve the following:

I have data that looks like:

level19 meta
--------- -------
member1 some value
member81 some value
member52 some value
member1 some value
member81 some value
member52 some value

I can easily sort on level19 field, but what I need to to do is separate the data out into different 'piles'. One pile for member1, one pile for member81 and so on. Each able to then branch off and do different things. How can I create piles of data for each member? There could be hundreds of different members and there is no way of knowing what members will appear from run to run.

Would appreciate any advice - thanks!

JNDI configuration for Windows Authentication

Hello,

I have a Pentaho server that utilizes JNDI connections. We recently had a client complain about text passwords sitting in the JNDI folder. I thought I had found a work around by utilizing the Windows Authentication on the Pentaho Server (Windows Server), but I am unable to successfully connect to the database with JNDI and integratedSecurity=true. The error I get continues to say "Required subelement 'user'."

The integratedSecurity option works when I set it up within Spoon as a MS SQL Server Native JDBC connection, but not when referenced in the JNDI file. I have obviously moved the sqljdbc_auth.dll to the correct location.

Can anyone help me with the proper JNDI reference to make the connection operate as it does with MS SQL Server Native JDBC connection setup?
I have tried jtds and useNTLMv2=true and the standard jdbc setups. There has to be a way to do this right?

Thanks,
Dustin

SQLite dynamic number typing causing issues

July 22, 2018, 10:11 pm
$

Hey Folks,

I've been using kettle for a long time now, but I recently came up against an issue where the type of the first row was affecting the table input step:
In SQLite, I have a column Typed as 'Numeric' which can store integers as integers, but floats as floats, etc.
In my table, I have a column with both integer and float (real) values.

When I use the table input step, and a integer value is in the first row, all rows are typed as integer, and I cannot retrieve the float values (they are rounded, and not just masked!). I've tried using a Select Values, Alter metadata step, but the value has definitely been lost.

If I order my table input query to return the float value first, then it seems that everything is considered a float and works fine.

At this point I can change the structure of my column, from 'Numeric' (which is what Kettle originally suggests) to 'Real', which forces integers to be typed as real, but I imagine that this could cause issues for others.

Has anyone else ever come across this? Should I raise this as a bug request ( I can't find any other references from a solid googling)?

PDI: V7.1.0.0-12, Windows.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Our pentaho BI server hang-on after we hits 100+ reports from web application. And giving massage like"[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase.clearReferencesThreads The web application [pentaho] appears to have started a thread named [ObservationManager] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. Stack trace of thread:

Anybody can suggest for avoid above.
