Getting Started

Installing and Configuring Java

The Pentaho BI Platform requires a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) to be installed on your PC or server. Tocheck if Java is already installed issue the following command (seen in bold) at the terminal prompt:

user@terminal:~# java -versionjava version "1.6.0_13"Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

If a similar output (seen above) is displayed Java is already installed. If not, to install Java on Linux issuethe following commands (seen in bold):

Ubuntu

user@terminal:~# sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre

Fedorauser@terminal:~# sudo su install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre

The next step is to check if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is setup correctly, issue the followingcommand (seen in bold) at the terminal prompt:

user@terminal:~# echo $JAVA_HOME/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

If a similar output (seen above) is displayed the JAVA_HOME environment variable is already setup. To

setup the JAVA_HOME environment variable add this line to the bottom of the /etc/environment file:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun"

The CATALINA_OPTS environment variable should also be set to tell the Apache-Tomcat server to usemore than the default memory, to do this also add the following line to the bottom of the/etc/environment file:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"

From now on every time the PC or server is started/restarted the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_OPTSenvironment variables will be set automatically.

You are able to deploy the platform in many different ways but in this guide I will explain how to deploy itwith the packaged Apache-Tomcat server (comes with the Pentaho BI Server installation file) or with anexisting Apache-Tomcat server.

Packaged Apache-Tomcat Server

You will need to first download the pentaho-ce-3.7.x.stable.tar.gz file from thePentahoSourceforge projects page- this file contains all the files/packages needed for setting up our platform.After downloading extract its contents into a directory you would like to store the Pentaho BI Server - inthis example I have chosen /opt/pentaho/.

To extract the file and move it the /opt/pentaho/ directory issue the following commands (seen inbold) at the terminal prompt:

user@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo tar xvzf pentaho-ce-3.7.0.stable.tar.gzuser@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mkdir /opt/pentahouser@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mv ./biserver-ce /opt/pentaho

user@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mv ./administration-console/opt/pentaho

The following directories should be visible after you have extracted the TAR file and moved its contents:

opt/|-- pentaho| |-- adminstration-console| |-- biserver-ce

Existing Apache-Tomcat Server

If you would like to deploy the Pentaho BI Platform on an existing Apache-Tomcat server first extract thecontents of the pentaho-ce-3.7.x.stable.tar.gz file found on thePentaho Sourceforge projectspage. After downloading extract its contents into a directory you would like to store the Pentaho BI Server- in this example I have chosen /opt/pentaho/.

To extract the file and move it the /opt/pentaho/ directory issue the following commands (seen inbold) at the terminal prompt:

user@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo tar xvzf pentaho-ce-3.7.0.stable.tar.gzuser@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mkdir /opt/pentahouser@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mv ./biserver-ce /opt/pentahouser@terminal:/home/pentaho/tmp/# sudo mv ./administration-console/opt/pentaho

The following directories should be visible after you have extracted the TAR file and moved its contents:

opt/|-- pentaho| |-- adminstration-console| |-- biserver-ce| |-- pentaho-solutions| |-- tomcat| |-- common| `-- lib
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/

| `--mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar(optional)| |-- webapps| `--pentaho| `--pentaho-styles

| `-- sw-stylesThe files and directories in bold (seen above) will need to be moved to your existing Apache-Tomcatinstallation.

MySQL Java Connector

If you already have Apache-Tomcat working with MySQL then you won't need to copy the mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar file to your tomcat's /common/lib directory. If not to copy the mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar issue the following command (in bold) at the terminal prompt:

Ubuntuuser@terminal:~#/ sudo cp /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/common/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar

/opt/tomcat/common/lib

Fedorauser@terminal:~#/ su cp /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/common/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.7.jar/opt/tomcat/common/lib

webapps

You will need to copy all the directories under the /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/

directory to the webapps/ directory under your existing Apache-Tomcat installation.

To do so make sure you have stopped your Apache-Tomcat server then issue the following command (in

bold) at the terminal prompt:

Ubuntuuser@terminal:~#/ sudo cp /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/opt/tomcat/

Fedorauser@terminal:~#/ su cp /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/tomcat/webapps/opt/tomcat/

Where /opt/tomcat/webapps/ is the location of your Apache-Tomcat webapps directory. You havejust moved all the webapps which are needed by the Pentaho BI Platform (sw-styles is optional).

The last step is to move the pentaho-solutions directory into the /pentaho/ directory or any other location

which you would like to store all your pentaho solutions and configuration files. To move the pentaho-solutions folder to the pentaho directory issue the following command (in bold) at the terminal prompt:

Ubuntuuser@terminal:~#/ sudo mv /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/opt/pentaho/

Fedora

user@terminal:~#/ su mv /opt/pentaho/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/opt/pentaho/

One more step will need to be done to make sure Pentaho knows the new location of the pentaho-solutions directory which will be covered in the "Configuring Apache-Tomcat" section.

The new structure of the pentaho-solutions and existing Apache-Tomcat directory looks like this:

opt/| |-- pentaho| `-- pentaho-solutions| |-- tomcat| `-- webapps

You can now safely remove any other files that came with the original Pentaho BI Platform (only underthe biserver-ce\ folder).

SQL Script Pack

A SQL Script Pack is a set off SQL scripts which will configure all the necessary databases. To downloadthe SQL Script Pack forMySQL 5.x clickhere.

Configuring the Databases

Extract the MySQL 5.x SQL Script Pack

After downloading the SQL Script Pack for MySQL 5.x you will need to extract the files into a temporarylocation. These are the five SQL scripts which should be visible after the pack has been extracted:

1_create_repository_mysql.sql

Creates the Hibernate database2_create_quartz_mysql.sql

Creates the Quartz database3_create_sample_datasource_mysql.sql Loads the sample data data source into the Hibernate database

4_load_sample_users_mysql.sql Creates all the sample users and roles into the Hibernate database

5_sample_data_mysql.sqlCreates the sample data database

You must load the above scripts in the order they are listed. Load these SQL scripts using yourfavourite MySQL front end tool i.e. MySQL console, Navicat Lite, phpMyAdmin etc (in this section I willshow you how to load the SQL scripts using the MySQL console).

Load the SQL scripts

Before you start make sure that you place all your SQL scripts in the directory which you will be logginginto the MySQL console, in this example that is /home/pentaho/tmp/.

Launch a terminal instance and login into MySQL:

user@terminal:/opt/biserver-ce/tmp# mysql -u [your_username] -p[your_password]

Issue the following commands found in bold one after the other:

mysql> source 1_create_repository_mysql.sql;...outputmysql> source 2_create_quartz_mysql.sql;...outputmysql> source 3_create_sample_datasource_mysql.sql;...outputmysql> source 4_load_sample_users_mysql.sql;

...output

mysql> source 5_sample_data_mysql.sql;...output

Now run the following command (in bold) to see if you have successfully created the hibernate,

quartz and sampledata databases:

mysql> show databases;Just for reference here are the databases and tables which should of been created after loading thecontents of the MySQL 5.x SQL Script pack:

* Hibernate will create new tables into the hibernate database after Pentaho BI Platform has started for the first time.

NOTE

If you have problems when running the5_sample_data_mysql.sqlscripts with timestamps

you will need to replace all occurances of00.000000000 with 00.000000- this is an issue withMySQL timezones and timestamps.

Configuring JDBC Security

This section describes how to configure the Pentaho BI Platform JDBC security to use a MySQL server,this means the Pentaho BI Platform will now point to the hibernate database on the MySQL server

instead of the packaged HSQL database.

NOTE

If you already have a user which you prefer to have access to thehibernate database instead of

the default userhibuser, you will need to modify all occurances ofhibuser/passwordin thissection.

applicationContext-spring-security-jdbc.xml

This file is located under the pentaho-solutions/system/ directory.

Once the file has opened locate this snippet of code:

Make changes to the highlighted sections so that the section of code looks similar to this:

applicationContext-spring-security-hibernate.properties

This file is located under the pentaho-solutions/system/ directory.

Once the file has opened locate this snippet of code:

jdbc.driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver

jdbc.url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:9001/hibernate jdbc.username=hibuserjdbc.password=password


12/25


Page 1 of 1

hibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect Make changes to the highlighted sections so that the section of code looks similar to this:

jdbc.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbc.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hibernate

jdbc.username=hibuserjdbc.password=passwordhibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

hibernate-settings.xml

This file is located under the pentaho-solutions/system/hibernate/ directory.

Once the file has opened locate this snippet of code:system/hibernate/hsql.hibernate.cfg.xml

Make changes to the highlighted section so that the section of code looks similar to this:

system/hibernate/mysql5.hibernate.cfg.xml

mysql5.hibernate.cfg.xml (optional)

This file is located under the pentaho-solutions/system/hibernate/ directory.

You do not need to make any changes to this file if you would like to use the default user hibuser (which

was created with the 4_load_sample_users_mysql.sql file). However, if you would like to specifyyour own user find and change the following two lines of code:

hibuser

passwordMake changes to the highlighted sections to a username and password of your choice.

Configuring Hibernate and Quartz

Hibernate and Quartz need to specifically use the hibernate and quartz databases which werecreated on the MySQL server. To do so modifications need to be made to the context.xml file which is

located in the /tomcat/webapps/pentaho/META-INF/ directory.

NOTE

If you already have a user which you prefer to have access thehibernate database instead of

the default userhibuser, you will need to modify all occurances ofhibuser/password in this

section.This also applies to thepentaho_user/password used to connect to the Quartzdatabase.

Once the file has opened the following piece of code should be visible:

Make changes to the highlighted sections so that the section of code looks similar to this:

Configuring Apache-Tomcat Server

To configure the settings of the Apache-Tomcat server for your Pentaho BI Platform most of the changesare done inside the web.xml file which is located under the /tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB_INF/

directory. You are able to configure the following items (and more) for the Pentaho BI Platform:

pentaho-solutions location URL Disable HSQL database startup TrustedIpAddrs (optional - for the administration console and if you are accessing the server

remotely)

If you are happy with the following settings for your Pentaho BI Platform server you will not need to makeany changes to this file:

pentaho-solutions/ directory located under the /opt/biserver-ce/ directory Visithttp://localhost:8080/pentahoURL to launch the Pentaho BI Platform

solution-path

The solution-path parameter lets the Pentaho BI Platform know where to locatethe pentaho-solutions directory. By default this is set to /opt/biserver-

ce/pentaho/ directory.

If you have decided to use an existing Apache-Tomcat server (or have moved yourpentaho-

solutions directory) you will need to point this to where you have placed yourpentaho-solutionsdirectory. In this example my pentaho-solutions directory is under the /opt/pentaho/ directory,now my solution-path code snippet looks like this:

solution-path /opt/pentaho/pentaho-solutions/

fully-qualified-server-url

If you are happy with visiting the URLhttp://localhost:8080/pentahoto access Pentaho's BI Platform youwill not need to change this parameter, however if you would like others to access the site (remotely or on

a network) you will need to make changes to this parameter.

Open up the file and locate this line of code:http://localhost:8080/pentaho/

Make changes to the highlighted section to your PC or server's domain or IP address so it looks similar tothis:

http://www.prashantraju.com:8080/pentaho/ orhttp://192.168.1.10:8080/pentaho/
http://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentahohttp://localhost:8080/pentaho

Disable HSQL Database Startup

By default with 3.7 HSQL database starts up automatically - to prevent this from happening locate thefollowing snippets of code:

hsqldb-databases sampledata@../../data/hsqldb/sampledata,hibernate@../../data/hsqldb/hibernate,quartz@../../data/hsqldb/quartz

org.pentaho.platform.web.http.context.HsqldbStartupListener

You can either remove the above snippets or comment it out, if you are commenting it out it will looksimilar to this:

TrustedIpAddrs

If you want to access your Tomcat-Apache server remotely - so in the above step you have not specifiedlocalhost or127.0.0.1 for the base-url parameter - you will need to add your Tomcat-Apacheserver's IP address to this list.

Open up the file and locate this line of code:

TrustedIpAddrs 127.0.0.1

Make changes to the highlighted section add your PC or server's domain or IP address so it looks similarto this:

TrustedIpAddrs

127.0.0.1,[your_ip_address]This will allow the Pentaho Administration Console to 'ping' the server to see if it is up or down - you donot need to do this if you are hosting your server locally.

Other Parameters

You can also change the local language and country under the web.xml file, the changes to theseparameters are self explanatory.

Configuring SMTP (mail server)

To configure the Pentaho BI Platform to use a SMTP server (mail server) to use for emailing reports etc.you will need to make modifications to the /pentaho-solutions/system/smtp-

email/email_config.xml file.

Here are the available parameters that can be configured for SMTP support:

mail.smtp.host This is the address of your SMTP email server for sending email e.g. smtp.gmail.com

mail.smtp.port This is the port of your SMTP email server e.g. for GMail this is 587

mail.transport.protocol The transport for accessing the email server. Usually this is smtp e.g. for GMail this is

smtps

mail.smtp.starttls.enable

If you SMTP server uses TTLS authentication set this to true e.g. for GMail this is true mail.smtp.auth

Set to true if the email server requires the sender to authenticate mail.smtp.ssl

This is true if the email server requires an SSL connection e.g. for GMail this is true mail.debug

Output debug information from the JavaMail API mail.pop3

Not being used. mail.from.default

The from address that emails from the Pentaho BI Platform e.g. [email protected] mail.userid

The userid that is used when authenticating with the SMTP server, mail.smtp.auth mustbe set to true.

mail.password The password that is used when authenticating with the SMTP server, mail.smtp.auth must

be set to true.

Here is an example of a smtp-email.xml file configured for GMail:

smtp.gmail.com587

smtpstruetruetruefalse

[email protected]@gmail.com

Configuring Publishing

By default publishing is not enabled, to enable it you will need to specify a password which will need to beused when publishing. To get started you will need to edit the publisher_config.xml file located

under the /pentaho-solutions/system/ directory, once open locate the following snippet of code:

Enter a password between the publisher-password tags (this password will be the same for all users)so the snippet of code looks similar to the example below (in this example the publisher password ispublishthis):

publishthis

From now on when any user tries to publish content to Pentaho BI Platform they will need to specify thispassword.
