Cognos Data Manager to Cognos Datastage Migration - migration

I'm looking at a migration project to migrate a client from Datamanager to Datastage. I can see that IBM have helpfully added in the Migration Assistant tool, but less helpfully, I cannot find any details on how to actually use it.
I did use it some years ago, and I'm aware that you need to do it in a command line interface and it works by taking an extract file and creating a Datastage job out of it, which is then reinstalled. However I haven't got my notes any more from that process.
If there is a user guide out there for this tool, I'd love to see it.
Cheers
JK

Your starting point would be the IBM support page and then see "How to download the tool" and ensure you have the required version (10.2.1 + Fix Pack 13 + Interim Fix) installed. The user guide PDF is part of the install in the sub-folder "datamanager/migration".

Where Can I Download the Summer 18 version of the Salesforce Migration Tool?

I am trying to download the latest version of the force.com migration tool (sometimes called the ANT migration tool.)
The download page seems to link to the Summer 2016 version of the tool (see errors below), despite claiming to link to the Summer 2018 version.
When I configure package.xml and run the .jar like so:
ant retrieveUnpackaged -lib path/to/ant-salesforce.jar
I get errors like this:
[sf:retrieve] package.xml - API version Summer '16 does not have access to Lightning Pages of type CommObjectPage
Note that this error message is not referring to the API version in the retrieve source sandbox. The sandbox API version is Winter '19.
I've been looking for a while now and still haven't found an alternative download link that correctly points at the Summer 2018 migration tool. Can anyone help?
Based on the error message, it sounds like the error message is complaining about the version number indicated in the retrieve package manifest, rather than the version of the migration tool.
If you go in the file named package.xml, there should be a tag <version>37.0</version>. If you change the number to anything 38.0 or higher, I would think the retrieve call should work for you.

Sonarqube - How do I produce a summary sheet

I have produced a code analysis of around 40 java classes, I am not a fan of reading one by one. I have read such documentation as the documentation. When I add the jar file from the governance my server crashes after 1-2 seconds once it's running.
What am I missing here? Does this version of governance not worth (Which I assume to have the most up to date sonarqube as I downloaded it recently)
Governance is a paid feature available in Enterprise Edition. You need to have a license to be able to run it.

Pentaho Demo Graphs or Charts

Recently had a project in JBoss but want to move to Pentaho (JBoss kept crashing). JBoss was good because it showed you sample data and various types of results when you installed it. When I installed Pentaho, it is like a clean slate and I do not see a demo feature that I can install and see how data is displayed.
Is there a link that anyone can point me to in order to look at sample data being generated into charts or graphs in Pentaho? I already have the common plugins installed - CDE, CDA, CDF, and CGG.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are samples in the /public/Steel Wheels folder.
If you install the CE version, you'll also get a lot of samples in /public/Plugin Samples.
Log in to PUC as admin and go to the explore files perspective. You should see them there.
Below is a very simple CDE tutorial I wrote. It uses screen shots from version 5.x but you could also use it for version 6.0 (they are similar). Nothing fancy though: http://holowczak.com/getting-started-with-pentaho-community-edition-dashboard-editor-cde/

WAS 6 to WAS 8.5 migration

I need to migrate my application to WAS 6.1 to WAS 8.5.5. I would need list of things to be taken care before migration and what are all the major changes involved.
I googled and sufficient informations I couldnt get. Can some one please help me on this ?
One thing to do is to setup an eclipse with IBM WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit and then import your application source code (you may even analyse your binaries with Migration Toolkit for Application Binaries) in the workspace.
You then run Software Analyzer and select the Websphere Migration rules.

Worklight, stop the migration script

Is there a way to stop the worklight plugin from firing the migration script?
Most of our team has 6.1.0.01-20140418-0637
but one other member of our team has 6.1.0.01-20140515-1501.
When he downloads the app from svn, it seems the upgrade/migration script runs and removes all customization in the (shell)native directories and sets them back to default.
I have two questions:
Is there a parameter to tell worklight not to fire the migration script?
Should the migration script be running on minor version changes?
Why does the upgrade script wipe out all customizations/plugins in the (shell)native directory
No
Yes
