Hi Michael,

Thank you for the feedback.

Considering it is a POC and you are running Alfresco 5.2, why don't you try Alflytics?

You can find it here: GitHub - fcorti/Alflytics: The Open Source Business Intelligence solution over the Alfresco platform.

(Manual: Alflytics/Alflytics-Manual.pdf at master · fcorti/Alflytics · GitHub)

AAAR is not tested to run on Alfresco 5.2 but it should not be a big deal to make it work.
Let me know if you'd prefer to check into the AAAR issue instead.

Hello Francesco,

Thank you for replying. I took your advice and tried Alflytics. I ran into two problems. The first was when I tried to install from the master branch. When I started the pentaho server and attempted to load the Alflytics plugin I received a InvocationTargetException exception.

I then tried version v5.0.EA. It loaded fine and the main page came up. But when I tried to run the install it I received an error when trying to copy the web.xml file. The colon is an illegal char in Windows. Sigh. I do wish I could do this in Linux.

I’m going to try AAAR Alfresco CE 5.1 next. We are running Alfresco 5.0.? in production. We plan to move to 5.2 soon. I’ll continue to try to get Alflytics working to prepare for the new environment.

Thank you,

Mike

Interesting...

Thank you for sharing your tests.
I did not test Alflytics on Windows at the moment.

Hi Francesco, We got AAAR working. We took your advice and used a version of Alfresco not installed on my local PC. That was the only change made. We used our dev Alfresco EE instance (ver 5.0.x). The AAAR_Extract.bat script ran to completion and all data was imported into the AAAR_DataMart database. I don't know what the problem was. Perhaps there is a port contention between the local Pentaho and local Alfresco instances. In either case there was not a AAAR problem. Feel free to email me if you want me to test Alflytics on Windows. Thank You.
