First...I´m a reader of your book Pentaho Solutions. First of all I want to send you congratulations for your book.<br /> <br />On the other hand I ask you a question. In chapter 10 you said "Please refer to the book´s website to download all the transformations and jobs to load the World Class Movies data warehouse". I download all files in the book´s website but only some ETL´s it´s there. I have no problem to populate de dimensions but I don´t know how to populate de fact tables, in the book there were no samples and on the website either.<br /><br />Thanks for your reply and I really pleased if you can send me the load fact transformations and jobs.<br /><br />P.D. Sorry for my english, I can understand quite well but I write english bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15319370.post-15227109300663402042010-03-16T18:40:18.799+01:002010-03-16T18:40:18.799+01:00Hi Anonymous!

My apologies :(<br /><br />The command you're using does seem to be the right one, at least, 3.5.2 is the current version. <br /><br />For a up to date guide on how to setup the tomcat server and moving the repository to mysql (or another database) please see the excellent guide by Prashant Raju:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.prashantraju.com/projects/pentaho/" rel="nofollow">http://www.prashantraju.com/projects/pentaho/</a><br /><br />kind regards, and thanks for the comments :)rpboumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365137747952711328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15319370.post-5926603655902159112010-03-16T18:05:45.655+01:002010-03-16T18:05:45.655+01:00Also, is the untar command on page 39 midway down ...Also, is the untar command on page 39 midway down out-of-date now?

Is there a valid companion website? The book has been a huge help so far. I'm in chapter 3 trying to make sense of the Tomcat install / config... and pressing on. And then to learn Pentaho. It's a lot to bite off and chew, made much easier by your book.

After I installed (after your advices from the book) Ubuntu, Mysql, Sqleonardo, etc. I have problems with Tomcat. I saw that you integrated the applications in a way (for Linux, instalation in /opt/, etc). I'm familiar with linux in general (php+mysql) but not with Java and Tomcat. I'll be glad for a short tutorial more custom for the book.

However, Pentaho Solution is a really broad, overall book, so we don't delve into the nitty gritty details. <br /><br />But for example, Chapter 4, "The Pentaho BI Stack" describes concepts of action sequences, and in chapter 14, we describe how you can use action sequences to control the schedular, and how to use action sequences to do complex report generation and delivery ("bursting").<br /><br />You can also take a look at the pentaho wiki - it contains a pretty detailed description of the action sequence steps.rpboumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365137747952711328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15319370.post-43805150753986233452010-03-09T06:36:21.228+01:002010-03-09T06:36:21.228+01:00I am facing a lot of problem in design studio.
