I'm using Pentaho CE for general reporting.
We are running reports using the build In Report Viewer.
We've noticed that each report created using Report Designer and using KTR as data source executes transformate twice ... (as seen in logs)
For large, complicated KTRs with SQL queries this is an overkill.
Does anyone know what is the purpose of this ? How can this be changed ? or just give me some light on the subject ?
Thanks, help much appreciated.

hope someone can provide some insights or experience in this area.
I am currently building some reports in Power BI, the data source is connected via ODBC to a firebird database (testing environment atm). I copied the script to SQL statement and it runs ok.
However, something went wrong every time I refreshed the data, it stops at 'loading data to model' stage. I have to end Power BI in task manager then restart it again.
I don't know why this happens.
Thanks in advance.
I need your help. I have designed this report using the pentaho report designer with two date parameters(DateFrom and DateTo). The report works fine when run on the designer and I've published it to the Pentaho BI Server. But on opening it on the browser from the BI server (CE), the reports is on an automatic refresh loop every 3-5 seconds. A glimpse of it, you can tell it has run correctly but the page refreshes almost immediately. Can't even change the parameters.
Has anyone ever experienced this and what is the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
I have noticed that the refresh loop is being caused by the date parameter. I removed the the date parameter and published the report with a static date and it worked well.
I will have to rethink of how to use the date parameter on the PRD reports.
I am going to post a new question on how to include a working date parameter on PRD and link it to this question.
In the meantime, I will consider this a closed issue.
I have few existing SSRS reports here which are giving some inaccurate info. I want to fix those...where should I start? is it the data source in Report Builder? Where else should I look?
Thanks
You should be able to find the query that is being run or the stored procedure in the datasets. Then you can open those and see what datasource it is using. Some could be shared so you might have to look a bit to find them but that tells you the server. So then you can troubleshoot.
I'm using pentaho BI server(biserver-ce-5.0.1-stable) version.
once i create the data source for reporting and analyse purpose(OLAP cube) it's working fine using at that time Data but i need to know how to process it according to time period(need to change the cube data after mid night).
please share the ideas.
Download Pentaho Data Integration from here.
Go step by step when you created data source and write it down.
Then make Job (or Transformation if it's simple) and make a scheduler.
Here you will find info about PDI.
Good luck!
I would like to automate the entire report generation process using Pentaho report designer using commandline. Is it possible to achieve it in Pentaho?
Input = results data stored in a database
Output = Generate report ( in the form of chart for ex) using Report designer
Thanks

Another option if you dont want to use a BI server at all, is to use the Pentaho Report output step in PDI/Kettle. This is great for scheduled jobs. The advantage of this over running schedules in the BI server is that you can cron them, and then if the BI server is down your reports will still run! i.e. it's a lot more reliable.
Try to use wget and submit URL of xaction.
There's an issue As a reporting user, I want to be able to run reports via a simple GUI tool or via the command line without a GUI open since Dec 2009.
According to Command line tool to run reports it's not planned as of Mar 2014.
