Pentaho Quick Install

Pentaho has a preconfigured install package that can be used to evaluate the platform. The default install will only work if it is run on your own machine. There are two things that you'd want to do if you want others to test the platform.

1. Allow access from other machines on the LAN.

You need to edit web.xml file located at

%PCI%/jboss/server/default/deploy/pentaho.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

where %PCI% is the folder where you uncompressed the Pentaho preconfigured install.

Look for the string base-url. http://localhost:8080/pentaho/ Change the value into an IP address or the computer name that will resolve to it.

2. Change the default port 8080.

Sometimes port 8080 is already being used by another application, possibly Tomcat. Pentaho has a web container using port 8080 that may conflict with the existing application.

You need to edit server.xml located at:

%PCI%/jboss/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml

Look for the string 8080.



Change the port number to your desired number. You may now restart the Pentaho BI platform.

iReport Default Date Parameter

If you want to set a default date for a jasperreports parameter, you can enter the following in the default value expression of the parameter. new Date() However, if you wanted the default to be relative from today, for example, 3 days ago, you will need to do go outside of the standard java date libraries (Date, Calendar) because JR parameter does not allow you to have multiple statements. You can write your own utility package or you can use Joda , a replacement library for the JDK date and time library. To use Joda in iReports, you need to extract the jar file and add it to Options -> Classpath. You may also drop the jar file in iReports' lib directory. You will also need to add this library to your application or report server. For setting a default date 5 days prior from today, use this: new org.joda.time.DateTime().minusDays(5).toDate() or this if you want the time part set to the beginning of the day: new org.joda.time.LocalDate().toDateTimeAtStartOfDay().minusDays(5).to...

Migrating Moniwiki to MoinMoin

I had been using Moniwiki for our company for a while because the installation was quite easy as it was PHP based. However, I found out that document versioning didn't really work. It may have been a configuration issue but I took this opportunity to take a look at MoinMoin, as it was being used by Ubuntu and looked well supported. The server was running Debian stable and MoinMoin was in the repositories. Installing was simple using aptitude. Configuration was a bit more involved as it required copying and editing files. The new wiki site was pleasantly more responsive. The next task was to move the data in Moniwiki to MoinMoin. Upon inspecting the data repositories, I realized that Moniwiki stored the data in individual files with the WikiWord as the filename while MoinMoin organized that data with the WikiWord as a directory with the actual content under the revisions directory. I cooked up a quick script to migrate the data. I also ran the previous file through a 'tr' to...
