Saiku with Pentaho is dead? - pentaho

We used saiku3.17 with pentaho, but we can't claim community license for saiku3.
Saiku4 is alive? I found just a docker install guide, and just without pentaho.
Saiku is dead?
Thank you for your answers.

License error with Saiku Analytics Plugin on Pentaho 6 CE

I installed Saiku Analytics 3.8.7 on pentaho 6 CE using marketplace with COMMUNITY license, but when i try to use it show me: "Error creating session: License for wrong version please update your free license".
I try create different types of licenses in meteorite.bi with no luck. Also if I want to uninstall it using the marketplace throw me an error.
What I can do?
I had the same issue.
Saiku Analytics was not working and failed to uninstall without any error in catalina.out and pentaho.log.
To uninstalled plugin I had to call biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/system/marketplace/processes/uninstall_plugin.kjb kettle job.
It has 3 params:
samplesDir - set it to empty string.
uninstallBackup - (absolute path to folder where plugin backup will be stored) ex: /Users/taras/programs/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/system/plugin-cache/backups/saiku_backup.
uninstallLocation - (absolute path to folder where plugin is located) ex : /Users/taras/programs/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/system/plugins/saiku .
Job can be executed using Spoon.
After it I've restarted PUC and installed plugin one more time. I selected plugin version '3.8.8 (PENTAHO6)' version from dropdown. Then I followed instructions from popup and downloaded saiku-olap-util-3.7-SNAPSHOT.jar to tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/lib/ folder and generated licence on licensing.meteorite.bi (License Type: COMMUNITY_EDITION) and downloaded it into /Users/taras/programs/biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/system/plugins/saiku folder. After PUC restart saiku started to work.
Actually I'm disappointed - PUC 6 is so unstable...not sure if its a good production ready solution :(
I had the exact same issue. Turns out in the pentaho marketplace, I had wrongly downloaded the Enterprise version of the plugin, and not the Community edition (they're both under Saiku Analytics plugin entry, but there's a dropdown once you select the plugin that lets you choose the right version).
You need to delete the appendix of the license data you got.
When your license looks like license_localhost.lic you need to rename it to license.lic.
And save to the right location like that: ..\pentaho-solutions\system\saiku
Copy the license file into following path: ./tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/lib/license.lic
to resolve this Issue
Just try to download Saiku 3.8.8(STABLE) from Marketplace & you can able to apply license for 20 users also..

Pentaho BI Marketplace

I'm trying to make some changes in my Dashboards with CDE .
But when I access Pentaho plateform 5.0 as Admin I can't find the Marketplace in all the menus
Thanks for helping me !
The Marketplace is a perspective in the Pentaho User Console for Pentaho 5, so it should be available on the dropdown on the left top of PUC.
Note, however, that the marketplace is only available on the CE edition. If you're running an EE version, the marketplace is not installed by default.
You can install it, however. Download from here: http://ci.pentaho.com/job/marketplace/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/marketplace-plugin-TRUNK-SNAPSHOT.zip
and unzip into the system folder. Restart the BA Server and you should be all set.
Download marketplace.
in theory, you should be able to download it from http://pentaho.com/marketplace
BUT currently the link is broken. you can download it manually here:
http://nexus.pentaho.org/content/groups/omni/pentaho/marketplace/6.0-SNAPSHOT/
Unzip into /pentaho-solutions/system
restart
enter PUC (Pentaho User Console)
Enter Marketplace from the upper left menu
Install CDE/CDA Plugins

Need help to select correct install file and options for BA\PDI

We want to upgrade our Pentaho suite from 4.1 to 5.0 version. Currently we use Analyzer for ad hoc reporting (which is installed on linux box) and Kettle (which is on windows).Plus this time we want to install repository also so that our kettle jobs are shared centrally.
With this requirement I believe I need to install both BA and DI components, since Analyzer comes under BA. But I can see that BA and DI have separate repository.
Can someone help me explaining which install files I should run and what options should I pick ?. I have 3 files pdi-ee-5.0.2-dist.zip, pdi-ee-client-5.0.1-dist.zip and pdi-ee-server-5.0.2-dist.zip
I would also appreciate if someone can provide me with correct link or video to help me with the install\configuration.Right now I am referring to http://infocenter.pentaho.com/help/index.jsp
You don't have to install anything, you just have to unzip the files and have to run appropriate batch file on windows and .sh file in linux.
For pentaho Data integration you have to run "spoon.bat" on windows and "spoon.sh" on linux
For pentaho BA Server you have to run you have to reach down to biserver-ce foler (i am using community addition) for you it may be like biserver-ee and under that you have to run "start-pentaho.bat" in windows and "start-pentaho.sh" in linux.
you can refer this link..

Using Jenkins as a service on Cloudbees

I am new to Cloudbees and have been trying to find out how I can run an existing Jboss Portal Server based application which we run in our locally hosted CI in Cloudbees infrastructure.
Our stack has the following components
JDK 1.6 JBoss
Portal Server (EPP 4.3)
Oracle Express Edition (XE)
Would appreciate any help from the community to ensure that I dont discard the option of running Jenkins in the cloud on the Cloudbees platform without proper research.
You will have to setup your build job to install and start the adequate runtime
JDK 6 is available as part of CloudBees runtimes, you can then use /private repository to store EPP 4.3 as a zip and expand to /tmp during a pre-build step
Same principle applies to your database, but I'm not sure you can install Oracle XE without user interaction and without being root. I remember doing this myself some years ago on ubuntu and was not as trivial as just unzipping a binary distro.
Is your code tied to this DB ? Or are you using some DB abstraction layer that you could use to test using another DB runtime (mysql / postgres) ?
