In my project we are using Pentaho data integration , saiku-server for reporting.
Now i am new to the business intelligence thing and i am confused which functioning will be performed by which software.
Senior coder here dont tell me so thats why i am asking here.
I am confused what are the functioning provided by these tools
Pentahoo
PAN
Kitchen
Spoon
Saiku
There are scripting which generates the these four files
cube.json sims.json schema.json path.json
now i don't know which software will be using that json files pentahoo , saiku spoon or what.
can anyone give me some idea
Pentaho data integration is one of open source tool provided by pentaho suit.
Spoon is used to create transformation using GUI interface.
if you simply want to run the transformations and jobs then use kitchen or spoon. (mainly used for running this things using command line)
saiku is a 1 of server, pentaho itself has a server (pentaho bi server) and in this you can add saiku pluggin for displaying cubes which are designed in pentaho schema workbench.
for more understanding google the terms which i mansion in the answer.

I'am trying to download a pentaho server version that will be deployed on linux production environnement, and on sourceforge pentaho open source files, I found that it contained apprently two versions as shown in the picture below, Pentaho-Server-ce and Pentaho-Server-manual-ce and I want to know whether there are some differences in termes of requirements or functionalities and such.
And on the occasion I would like also to ask about how the pentaho server works in general (for instance it took me a while to figure out that I need a separate application called Pentaho Repor Designer to do my dashboards and then use them in the pentaho server. (the documentation is good but lacks a little bit -in my opinion- in termes of clarity and how to use it properly, moreover there are almost no tutorials for the pentaho server (I found some about the pentaho data integration) but almost none on pentaho server.
So any details and leads on how to master it would be highly appreciated.
I want to schedule a job under Pentaho PDI using the Spoon graphical interface. In the pentaho documentation you can see that this is available under Action-->Schedule. But in my case this option isn't there. I'm using Pentaho 6.0.1
What is exactly the problem in my case ?
Thank's in advance for your help.
You will not be able to achieve simply using transformation.
You can create one job and there call your transformation, and you will be able to do batch process/scheduling in spoon.
Note : I am talking about community edition.
I am trying to use a web service as a data source in the Pentaho report designer.
Can you please guide me on this.
If you don't have Pentaho Data Integration, you can do it the hard way with Groovy scripting, I have an example here (although it uses a Java client not a Web client):
http://funpdi.blogspot.com/2014/09/groovy-datasources-with-pentaho-report.html
With Pentaho Data Integration, you can create a transformation that uses a REST step to get data from a web service. Then in Pentaho Report Designer you can create a Pentaho Data Integration datasource, choose the step you want to get fields from, then use those fields in your report. There's a great blog post explaining this process:

I'm using Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) version 5.2 on Mac OSX
I would like to create transaction for the 3 transformation in my job.
I follow this manual https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/5.2/0L0/0Y0/0H0
But there is no Transaction or Miscellaneous Tab in the Job Setting (but it does has in Transformation setting)
Do you guys have any idea how to bring it?
Best Regards,
Based on http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/.10+Job+Settings, that feature is only in Enterprise Edition. You should check your Pentaho version.
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!
