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/

I'm using PDI-CE 8.2 and do have around 20 Scripts performing transformations. I was looking for help on how to integrate with Source Control since Tools --> Repository is disabled? does PDI-CE 8.2 support source control?
any help is appreciated
You are asking two different things
Repository option is disabled - pdi 8.2 is not a stable version, i would recommend you to use 8.3, pdi_8.3\system\karaf\caches go to this caches location delete everything and re-start the tool, you will see repository option
source code control - pentaho does not directly support version control however community has developed few plugins for the same.
click on tools -> marketplace
search bar type git, you will find 2 3 different plugin(spoongit,etc).
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

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".
We are implementing a project where we need to develop applications in sencha touch and as a tester i will be responsible to test these applications. After some research, I found out that Bryntum's Siesta is the best tool to automate the Manual test cases.
Before we decide to get the license, i just wanted to goof around it a bit so I downloaded the Lite version but I am not able to figure out how to install it on my Windows 8 machine. There isn't any .exe file in the downloaded folder when i extracted it.
Can anyone help me out with this please!
Thanks Already!
There is nothing to install really, since Siesta is just a web based tool (pure HTML, JS and CSS). Just extract into a web server and visit /examples and it will work. Getting started guide here: http://www.bryntum.com/docs/siesta/#!/guide/siesta_getting_started
In a project we a forced to use IBM RAD and Webspher Application Server (6.1).
Setting up the development environment is currently described in about 10 pages of wiki documentation and takes about a day if you don't do any mistake. The main parts are:
Installing the IBM Installer;
Use it to install RAD
Install a patch to the Installer;
use it to install half a dozen patches to RAD
create a network drive pointing to ...
checkout project source to ...
install WAS
configure the a WAS instance with two jdbc drivers, 6 datasources, a queue ...
I think you get the idea
I'd like to automate that process (or at lest 95% of it) to something like.
start script x.
On prompt enter a directory with at least yGB of memory available.
Get yourself a cup of coffee
start working.
What are the proper tools to get this working? Should I use something like puppet and chef? Or is that overkill and I can just zip the installation directory and change 2 registry entries?
Has anybody experience with this? Any pointers to get started?
You can script the configuration of WAS using wsadmin:
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.base.doc%2Finfo%2Faes%2Fae%2Fwelc6topscripting.html
It is some effort to learn how to do so but in the end it saves a lot of time. You need to use Jython or Jacl to do so.
WAS profiles can be created headless with a response file. Use manageprofiles.bat in bin directory of WAS to do so.
Regarding RAD installation you can install the IBM Installation Manager version you need to install the patches right away and then install everything in one shot. Add the fixes you need as Repositiories right from the beginning. The fixes will be installed instead of the old versions in this case. You should have the base images and all fixes on the local disk to do so.
The installation of RAD itself can also run in headless mode but I don't have any experience in doing this.
The configuration of the RAD workspace is the next thing you want to automate. This is not so simple to do. The simplest thing you can do is to export the workspace preferences of a workspace that contains all settings to an eclipse preference file (.epf). File -> Export
This is not a complete solution but may help you a bit. Be sure to keep all settings in just one file and import that into a fresh workspace.
Use Notepad++ TextFX plugin to sort the settings in the epf file. You can then figure out which settings you need just by looking at them.
More control over the workspace settings and automated conifiguration requires accessing eclipse internal APIs and some coding.
Regarding the the project sources it depends on the SCM you are using.
I have downloaded Pharo 1.2.2 #12353 and wanted to install some packages in a easier way than going through Monticello Browser. I do not want to copy and paste scripts to install packages. After I opened the Menu, Tools, Configuration Browser a new window is shown with 3 ConfigurationOf...
ConfigurationOfFFI
ConfigurationOfMagma
ConfigurationOfVistaCursors
There is no help or description of what's the purpose of the Configuration Browser. What's one supposed to do with that?
there is no way to select a repository of configurations
there is no menu option to add a ConfigurationOf
there is no way to browse the Configurations from that window
Besides, is that the right tool to browse a "Metacello Repository" like http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository.html ?
There is a custom browser to Metacello? Why isn't included in the release by default?
You can give MetacelloBrowser a try. It is aimed at providing a Metacello-centric interface for managing your project. The browser is still in development, but can be used for many tasks quite nicely.
If you decide to take it for a spin, please submit any issues here. Join the Metacello mailing list if you have any questions or comments.

Please report an issue about the Configuration Browser at http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list and post your difficulties to the Pharo list. I played with the tool too and couldn't understand it either.
see
http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2011-December/057409.html
and for its origins:
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2752
The ideas is that we have an own Squeaksource repo (universe) for a
specific Pharo version where we have a copy all the ConfigurationOfXXX
that are known to work in this specific Pharo version.
Since nobody (yet) mainted the one for Pharo 1.3 the browser is just empty.
I will try to find the time to fill the repo for Pharo 1.3
