Hi,

i try to generate a report from Java, but i only receive a blank page right now.

Any help would be appreciated.

my code is from the Pentaho for Java Developers Book:

Code:



        String load = Table.class.getResource("log.properties")

                .getFile();

        PropertyConfigurator.configure(load);

        LOGGER.getParent().setLevel(Level.WARN);

        

        ClassicEngineBoot.getInstance().start();





        MasterReport report = new MasterReport();





        DefaultTableModel t = new DefaultTableModel(new Object[][] {

                { "Hallo", 1 }, { "Welt", 2 } }, new String[] { "Text",

                "Zeichen" });





        

        final TableDataFactory dataFactory = new TableDataFactory();

        dataFactory.addTable("default", t);

        report.setDataFactory(dataFactory);





        FormulaExpression form = new FormulaExpression();

        form.setName("simple");

        form.setFormula("=[Zeichen]+100");

        report.addExpression(form);





        ReportHeader rH = new ReportHeader();

        ReportFooter rF = new ReportFooter();





        report.setReportHeader(rH);

        report.setReportFooter(rF);





        ItemBand band = new ItemBand();

        report.setItemBand(band);





        LabelElementFactory labelFactory = new LabelElementFactory();

        labelFactory.setText("LaberText");

        labelFactory.setX(1f);

        labelFactory.setY(1f);

        labelFactory.setMaximumWidth(100f);

        labelFactory.setMaximumHeight(20f);

        labelFactory.setBold(true);





        Element label = labelFactory.createElement();

        rH.addElement(label);





        TextFieldElementFactory textFactory = new TextFieldElementFactory();

        textFactory.setFieldname("Text");

        textFactory.setX(1f);

        textFactory.setY(1f);

        textFactory.setMaximumHeight(20f);

        textFactory.setMaximumWidth(100f);

        Element textField = textFactory.createElement();

        band.addElement(textField);





        NumberFieldElementFactory numberFactory = new NumberFieldElementFactory();

        numberFactory.setFieldname("simple");

        numberFactory.setX(101f);

        numberFactory.setY(1f);

        numberFactory.setMaximumHeight(20f);

        numberFactory.setMaximumWidth(100f);

        Element zahlField = numberFactory.createElement();

        band.addElement(zahlField);





        // Save Pdf to harddisc

        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(new File("report2.pdf"));

        PdfReportUtil.createPDF(report, out);

        out.close();

        out.flush();

I get the following warning when i run this code:

Is it possible to change the CSV separator character from the default ";" to a ","?

I've found a file - "system/cda/cda.properties" but changing it here doesn't seem to have an effect. Is there somewhere else I can change?

Also is is possible to set the formatting for columns when exporting to an xls file? I'm exporting (in my file) the number "123456" but when I open the file it appears as "123,456.00".

Thanks!

≪ Previous: Can Kettle write out HL7 messages?

Hi, I work in a big government DW project and have a very detail-specific set of customized reports. I have a CDE report with 6 components (bar charts and dot charts) and need to change the series data for some of the charts. I'm using this SELECT to make tests, is works on Pentaho's built-in SampleData:

SELECT CUSTOMERNAME, 1000 * SUM(ORDERFACT.TOTALPRICE) / (SELECT SUM(ORDERFACT.TOTALPRICE) FROM ORDERFACT WHERE YEAR_ID = 2004) AS REVENUE_PCT
FROM ORDERFACT INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS ON CUSTOMERS.CUSTOMERNUMBER = ORDERFACT.CUSTOMERNUMBER
WHERE YEAR_ID = 2004
GROUP BY CUSTOMERNAME
ORDER BY REVENUE_PCT DESC limit 50

I need to change the returned data like this:

if REVENUE_PCT > 25, multiply it by 1.33
if REVENUE_PCT <= 10, multiply it by 0.5

Can't change the SQL because the results are used in other charts. I must send just one SQL query to the production database (these are heavy queries), so can't create another datasource.

How can I do this?

Thanks
Rafael

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new using Kettle. I'm trying to run a very simple REST Client example. No parameter or authentication required, just the URL. I don't know what is going on, but it's not working. When I browse the URL at my web browser it works, I can see the xml file content. In the other hand when I try to get the same file using the REST client Step it doesn't work. The message I get when I try to preview the step is: "Sorry, during preview there weren't any rows to display for this step.". At Step Metrics panel every register (read, write, input, output) is 0.
Could someone help me on that? Did any one face similar problem?

≪ Previous: REST Client not returning data

Briefly: Can the Enterprise Edition repository deploy non-kettle files?

Details:
We currently use Enterprise Edition PDI to generate many excel spreadsheet reports and distribute them via email on a regular basis. Each report has its own template spreadsheet used by the Excel Writer transformation step. These templates normally change whenever the transform changes and need to be deployed at the same time. There are also other non-kettle files required as part of our various ETL processes. Our file-based repository is in linux and as a linux sysadmin management is simple. However for new our 100% Windows based report developer linux commands are completely out of scope. The Enterprise Edition's repository management tools could help simplify access and deployment for this non-linux user, but it appears that the repository does not allow for non-kettle files such as our Excel report templates.

How can we best provide our non-sysadmin with a method to manage Pentaho jobs, transforms and required non-kettle files on our linux server?

Suggestions?

≫ Next: Crosstab report feature in PRD 3.9.1

≪ Previous: Deployment of non-kettle files by less savvy users

Hi Everyone,

Just starting with this, so excuse my "newbiesness".

Ok, simple example of my problem:

Have this input:
Student_id, Student_name, Professor_id, Professor_name

The output should be a structure like:

Professor document
{
"Name" : "Professor 1",
"_id" : NumberLong(1),
"students" : [
{
"id" : NumberLong(1),
"name" : "Student1"
},
{
"id" : NumberLong(2),
"name" : "Student2"
}
]
}

So, created a transformation for an upsert, but got to the issue that the desired behavior is this:
* If the student id is not in the array, add it. If it is, update the name only.
i could not do that.

Tried using these conditions with professor_id as upsert match:
students[0].id $set Insert
students[0].name $set Insert
students[].id $push Update
students[].name $push Update

that works the first time, but the second (as expected) it just adds the items again and i end up with double the expected items.

If i add the student_id to the upsert match, the document is never created and i end up with an empty collection.

Could you give me an idea on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

Daniel

Hi, I would like to ask if it is expected behavior for PRD 3.9.1 to display only one page (i.e. cannot span more than one page) when printing/previewing crosstab reports. I know it is simply an experimental feature for that version, but I would like to know if I made a mistake in my configuration or not.

For reference, I followed this guide when making the report: http://b-e-o.blogspot.in/2009/11/cro...in-prd-35.html

We are considering using Pentaho as a solution for our project's reporting requirements (one of them being support for pivot reports and crosstabs), so feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, one of the requirements in our project is support for Extension-B characters in reports.

PRD handles this fine if the characters are coming from the database, however, it has trouble supporting static versions of the said characters, i.e. when the characters are copy-pasted/typed directly into Pentaho Report Designer, even when the required font has been installed. It works fine for regular Chinese characters, but it has trouble supporting the mentioned characters.

Is there a workaround for supporting them in Pentaho Report Designer besides having to use images instead of text? Thanks.

It is not possible to add or maintain any new and more useful details in the logging tables because they are internal to Pentaho, so I want to capture the internal keys and hold some more useful information about the transformations in my own tables.

Copy Rows to Results with bigger Data sets

August 23, 2013, 8:08 am

≫ Next: Interactive Reports: way to filter a field based on a parameter name?

≪ Previous: formula

I am running into an issue when trying to load roughly 130k records into several tables on the same database.

My first attempt was the same one I used for smaller datasets, where everything was contained in the same transformation, I just put block steps in to make sure there was no locking. Well that did not work with a dataset of 130k records due to the rowset size being at 10k. That leads to my first question:

Does it make sense to change the rowset size to 130k + ? I also need to consider that one day I will have to load more than that.

My next attempt was to separate each database insert into separate transformations, and just send results into a Copy Rows to Results step. Well when I attempted that, the first transformation would finish, and attempt to move to the next transformation, but just quit. No error message, no log entry that the job was finished either.

Anyone have any experience in loading bigger amounts of data and care to share some tips? I can provide more details if needed.

Interactive Reports: way to filter a field based on a parameter name?

Is there a way to put a filter on a field in the Interactive Report creator to set it equal to either another field name or a parameter name? I.e., "FIELD_1 exactly matches $(PARAM)"?

metadataService security issue

≪ Previous: Interactive Reports: way to filter a field based on a parameter name?

I am trying to use the pir.html web service to view Interactive Reports (IRs) Anonymously (without requiring Authentication). I am currently using three separate pentaho environments (dev/QA/prod), and their security settings are exactly the same on all three servers, however I am only able to successfully view IRs Anonymously on our test environment. By security settings, I am referring to the ObjectDefinitionSource property in the filterInvocationInterceptor bean in /pentaho-solutions/system/applicationContext-spring-security.xml, as well as the <data-access-view-roles> & <data-access-roles> properties in /system/data-access/settings.xml, and a few other settings that I don't think are relevant to this discussion.

Now, the issue...

Our solution uses a metadata datasource to (mostly) drive our Reports/Dashboards, which is configured with the proper Role restrictions such that Dashboards using the metadata model have no issues being viewed Anonymously; it's only when I attempt to generate reports using specifically the pir.html content-generator that I get errors (When I instead generate Interactive Reports via the /pentaho-solutions/system/reporting/reportviewer/ content-generator the reports actually display).

It's got to be the /ws-run/metadataService web-service (/pentaho-solutions/common-ui/) that's causing this problem - actually, I knowit's the metadataService call that's causing the issue because running it manually, and UNAUTHENTICATED, produces the following

from DEV environment (where the issue resides):

http://bidev01:8080/pentaho/content/...=1377275290614

outputs:

Code:

<ns:listBusinessModelsResponse/>

This output is not valid, because when I run the same URL but as an AUTHENTICATED user, I get:

http://bidev01:8080/pentaho/content/...=1377275290614

outputs:

Code:

<ns:listBusinessModelsResponse><return type="org.pentaho.common.ui.metadata.model.impl.ModelInfo">

<domainId>admin/resources/metadata/ALL_REQUESTS.xmi</domainId>

<modelDescription>This is the data model for ALL_REQUESTS</modelDescription>

<modelId>MODEL_1</modelId>

<modelName>ALL_REQUESTS</modelName>
</return>



<return type="org.pentaho.common.ui.metadata.model.impl.ModelInfo"><domainId>steel-wheels/metadata.xmi</domainId>

<modelDescription>This model contains information about Employees.</modelDescription>

<modelId>BV_HUMAN_RESOURCES</modelId>

<modelName>Human Resources</modelName>
</return>

....

</ns:listBusinessModelsResponse>

On my QA server (where this problem does not reside) I am able to make this web service call either Anonymously or Authenticated and get the same (valid!) results. The ObjectDefinitionSource property in ApplicationContext-spring-security looks like this:

I've attached the output from pentaho.log to this post; Anyone have any suggesstion? Please, help me!!!!!!!!!! :(

TL;DR: metadataService web-service doesn't work UNAUTHENTICATED, and only when trying to view Interactive Reports using pir.html. Dashboards are viewable just fine.

Adding watermark to a chart

August 23, 2013, 12:39 pm

≫ Next: Created XMI but cannot see datasource in Ad Hoc Report Designer

≪ Previous: metadataService security issue

Hello again,
I'm trying to add an image on the background of a chart, to work as a watermark.
The problem is that I have no idea how to achieve this.
I've only found this example so far, but I cannot apply it to my chart.

I created the image, but I don't now how to insert it into the chart.

Code:

var img = new pv.Panel()    .width(100)

    .height(100)

  .add(pv.Image)

    .url("http://bestclipartblog.com/clipart-pics/sun-clip-art-11.png");

Thank you.
