AAAR installation issue

[ilyass96]

Hello all ,

I am working on a project that requires Pentaho integration with Alfresco . I have both installed on the same machine .

While installing AAAR ( alfresco audit analysis reporting ) Plugin on Pentaho (from the Marketplace), and after following all the steps described by Mr.Corti (How to install A.A.A.R. - Francesco Corti )and making the configuration right , during the step of installation of AAAR , this message shows up " Warning! Please, check logs ignoring errors with description '...Folder/File [...] exists, failing.'. "    Even after i restart Pentaho , always the same problem ! I treid several times to re-install all and following carefuly step by step the directions . but always no result , it's not working . Please if you had some suggestions or solutions , it will be very appreciated .

Note : Am currently a university student , so it's my first time working on a BI project wich such plateforms .

I think it will be helpful to share with you my "catalina.out" file , so you may have an idea abt the problem :

The issue is connected to the "Instance ID is null".
Something goes wrong into the parameters.
I see you are using Pentaho 7.0, can you try with Pentaho 7.1 and reinstall Alflytics?
It should solve the issue.
