I want to create a report with Pentaho everyday without doing it manually. The report should integrate data from a SQL database. How I´m supposed to do that?
When you've created the report, upload it to the server and then on the server select the report and create a schedule with the desired parameters.

I am new to COGNOS. I have few queries in my COGNOS already created by someone and a report is generated based on this. Some error occurred to the cube for this report and I do not have access to cube. Now I need to alter the columns and manually generate a report for the client for time being until cube is ready. But I do not know how to access the column of a table in Cognos when I have access to queries and reports. Please help to resolve. Thanks in advance....
Yesterday i Download
Pentaho BI Server
Data Integration
Report Designer
Than I connect report designer to the remote database and fetch table and draw chart of that data successfully.
My Question is ,I want to run that file (which i create in report designing ) every hour by fetching the new data from remote database
can you please guide me step by step how to do it because i am new in all those stuff.
I will answer My own Question. So In order to schedule Job in Data Integration You Have To Follow these Steps
Step 1: Create Transformation
Create Transformation which you want to run like in my case i fetch the data from database and than write it to file.
Step 2: Create Job
Create Job and run above transformation according to your desired interval
In Pentaho you would create a Transformation or a Job in Data Integration to fetch data from the remote database, and then use the report created with Report Designer to visualize the data that you have downloaded with Data Integration.
I am trying to create a SSRS report with sql server 2005 BI. I have to use the existing data source to be consistent with the other reports, but in the SharedDataSources folder when I click add existing item, I cant find the Data source.
Can someone tell me where the Data Sources for SSRS reports store physically on a machine?
Thanks
It should be stored in the SSRS project. It will appear as .rds file.
I want to create a report with .rdlc, in this case i want to join some table and put the result in table on the rdlc file. I got confused, coz there is no place to put my query in the report.
Did i have to write some coding to create the report, so i can use the query?
Regards
I suggest downloading SAP Crystal Reports (http://www.crystalreports.com/). If you are using SQL Server, use Business Intelligence to create the report through the server. The report viewer currently installed with Visual Studio is not user friendly.
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.
