I'm doing a course from Coursera of Data Warehouse and I'm facing some problems with Pivot4j plugin.
There is a word document explaining how to install Pentaho. I've followed all the instructions, some of them are:
Install Java Runtime Environment (JRE7)
Download Pentaho BI Plugin stable release 0.9 (pivot4j-pentaho-0.9-plugin.zip).
I've started the web interface for the Pentaho BI server in my browser and navigate to the address http://localhost:8080/ after that I logged as administrator and everything was working properly. I clicked on Create new > Pivot4j View and a new screen appeared to me select the catalog and the cube. However when I select any catalog option the system return an error as showed in the image below:
I really appreciate any help.

Have you tried to install the version 1.0-snapshot instead of the v0.9?

I hope you are doing well. I am using the Pentaho BI server version 9.3.0.0 on my Windows 10 x64 bit. I want to use Pivot4j to browse my OLAP cube that I created with workbench. When I click in the UI menu bar on File->New, Pivot4j does not exist in the list as you see in screenshot1 above enter image description here. Then I proceeded to download it but I can't install it on my server. Here is the screenshot2 enter image description here of the error that is showing. Please help me to install it because I am newbie with this tool, and really I need it. Thank you in advance.
I am trying to use pentaho which I downloaded from sourceforge (pentaho files). I run the schema-workbench shell correctly and a window opens with the interface, but I still haven't been able to connect to the admin console on http://localhost:8080/pentaho.
Any ideas on which this doesn't seem to work for me?
Best regards
You have a start-pentaho.sh which launches (after a long the first time) the pentaho server on port 8080.
That is, if you have downloaded the correct package, because Pentaho contains many packages: one is the server, another one is the client-tools which contains the schema-workbench as well as the pdi (Pentaho Data Integrator), and the prd (Pentaho Report Designer) as well as few others.
You are running the wrong file. To open the pentaho console, you need to download the PNTAHO SERVER and run 'start-pentaho.sh'
Pentaho by default will start PuC Pentaho USer Console on http://localhost:8080/pentaho once server is up and running. For getting the data integration i.e Spoon interface go to
For Windows : Pentaho install directory>> design-tools>> data-integration>>spoon.bat
For Linux/Mac:Pentaho install directory>> design-tools>> data-integration>>spoon.sh
I hope this helps.
I used the marketplace to install pivot4j plugin in pentaho biserver-ce-6.1.0.1-196.
It installed the pivot4j-pentaho-1.0-SNAPSHOT version of the plugin. It is not a stable version. I am using ubuntu 12.04 OS.
Now the problem is that when I try to create a new pivot4j view, it just opens a blank view and no option is displayed. It does not ask for the catalog and the cube name as it ideally should.
I tried to use the stable version pivot4j-pentaho-0.9-plugin but with this, the option to create a new pivot4j view is itself not available. Here is the a screenshot of the pivot4j view diplayed by using the SNAPSHOT version:
Is there a method to load this view with a cube or is it an installation problem?
I am not sure as to what information will be relevant regarding this problem as I am new to pentaho and pivot4j .So let me know, I will update my question with the appropriate info.
I had this error. I checked the error log biserver-ce/tomcat/logs/pentaho.log and I found there is problem in my Schema. After I corrected the schema, it works.
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..
I have a requirement as to create cubesbased on some fact and dimension tables and then publishing it in localhost.There will be a portal where user can login and can see the charts and can do slice and dice and can add filters and able to see the reports.
I have downloaded Pentaho BI server CE 5.2.0 version for publishing
and
Pentaho Schema Workbench 3.9.0 for creating cubes.
I was working in JPivot and created some sample cubes and published successfully in localhost.But it is not giving that drag and drop features.
I wanted to know how to install SAIKU Analytics(as i believe drag and drop features are present there) in Windows system for Community version and also how to create the dashboard/Portal(by which Ctool) consisting of multiple charts where user can select filter and based on it the charts will populate.
Also the dashboard can give a good UI experience to the user
I am an ETL developer and am new to this Pentaho OLAP designing.Please help me on this
For Saiku, you can install it with the marketplace from Pentaho menu.
It will download the plugin and install it under the directory
biserver-ce/pentaho-solutions/system/saiku
Then, you will have to restart your server.
For the Ctools, you can find tutorials on the web and look for the documentation ; see for example http://www.webdetails.pt/ and the community forum :
