Pentaho 5.0 Reporting by Example: Beginner's Guide

Chapter 2. Installation and Configuration

In this chapter we will look at the system requirements to be able to correctly execute the Pentaho Report Designer (PRD), and we will explain how to meet these requirements step-by-step.

We will download PRD 5.0 from SourceForge.net and explain how different versions of PRD are organized on the download site.

Once we have downloaded PRD, we will install it in our operating system. We will also explain how to configure the drivers that will be used and how to assign more RAM to the PRD execution environment.

Throughout this book we use the MySQL example database Sakila DB for creating different reports. We will explain what Sakila DB is and how to download and install it using the MySQL command-line processor (CLP).

We will show the tables of Sakila DB and their relations using entity relationship diagrams (ERD).

In this chapter we will learn how to:

  • Install the JDK
  • Set the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables
  • Download and install Pentaho Report...

Configuring the environment

The system requirements needed to run PRD are installing JDK and configuring the environment variables.

System requirements

To correctly execute PRD, the following are necessary:

  • The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7 or higher installed
  • The JAVA_HOME variable configured
  • The PATH variable entry configured, pointing to [JAVA_HOME]/bin

While only JRE is necessary to execute PRD and the other applications that we will discuss in this book, we will also need the Java Development Kit (JDK) to develop one of the applications in the last chapters. For this reason, we will install JDK 1.7.

Note

JDK also includes the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a series of tools that lets us develop Java applications, including a compiler, a debugger, the API source code, the JRE, and so on.

Time for action – installing JDK and configuring the environment variables

To configure the JAVA_HOME and PATH variables, follow these steps:

Installing on a LINUX environment:

  1. Install JDK 1.7. You can go to the official Java website (www.java.com), download the installer file and then execute it in your operating system. Or you can execute the following commands in a terminal:
    shell> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
    shell> sudo apt-get update
    shell> sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
  2. Write the following command in the terminal:
    shell> sudo gedit /etc/environment
  3. Add a line in this file that contains the following (or similar, depending on each environment):
    JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle"
  4. To the beginning of the value of the PATH variable, add the /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin: string.

    Note

    The separator for the PATH entries in Linux environments is ":".

  5. The /etc/environment file should look like this:
    Time for action – installing JDK and configuring the environment variables
  6. Restart the session.

In Windows...

Time for action – downloading, installing, and configuring PRD

We will download PRD from the SourceForge.net repositories, install PRD, and set your RAM:

  1. To download PRD, paste http://sourceforge.net/projects/pentaho/files/Report%20Designer/ in your web browser.

    Different versions of PRD are stored here, each version in its own folder.

    In the latest versions, we can recognize the type of content of the packages according to the following pattern:

    • prd-source-[version].zip: This contains the PRD source code
    • prd-ce-[version].zip: This contains the Windows distribution
    • prd-ce-mac-[version].tar.gz: This contains the Mac distribution
    • prd-ce-[version].tar.gz: This contains the Linux distribution

    In our case, we download Version 5.0.0; therefore, in Linux environments, we should download the following file:

    • prd-ce-5.0.0.stable.tar.gz

    And in Windows environments, we should download the following file:

    • prd-ce-5.0.0.stable.zip
  2. Now we will install PRD.

    We choose a folder and unzip the file according to our...

Learning the Sakila database

Sakila DB is an example database developed by Mike Hillyer, who is a member of the MySQL AB documentation team. The goal of Sakila DB is to be the example database used in books, articles, tutorials, examples, and so on. Sakila's development dates back to 2005. Since then, it has grown and become stronger through various community contributions.

Sakila DB is designed to store information for a video rental store: actors, movies, clients, rentals, payments, and so on.

Sakila is the name of the dolphin used in the official MySQL logo:

Learning the Sakila database

Note

About MySQL in this book

In this book, we assume that the reader has MySQL Server 5 or later installed. The installation and configuration of MySQL Server is beyond the scope of this book. There are many good tutorials on how to install MySQL in different operating systems, for example, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-starting.html.

Time for action – downloading and installing Sakila DB

Sakila DB can be downloaded from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-other.html.

After browsing to that URL, follow these steps to download and install Sakila:

  1. In the Example Databases section, you will find the links to download Sakila DB, as shown in the following screenshot.
    Time for action – downloading and installing Sakila DB
  2. Once the correct file has been downloaded, we will unzip it in a temporary folder that we will call [SAKILA_TMP].
  3. Then, we will execute two commands in a terminal to create the database and populate it with data.
  4. First, we will execute the sakila-schema.sql script to create the general schema of the Sakila database, that is, the tables, views, and so on. After executing the following command, we will be asked for the root user password. This is determined by the following command...

  • The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7 or higher installed

For me, the PRD was one of the tools of Pentaho suite more obscure and difficult to use.It "was" until I started reading this book.The book follows a great didactic to clarify and teach all the features of this great Pentaho tool.Strongly recommend this book for both beginners and those who already have plenty of experience in Pentaho reporting.

It’s been four years since I published Pentaho Reporting 3.5 for Java Developers. A lot has changed in Pentaho Reporting since then, so it’s great to see a new book now available from Packt, Pentaho 5.0 Reporting by Example: Beginner’s Guide, co-authored by Mariano Mattio and Dario Bernabeu. This book has a different purpose than the Java Developer book, it’s focus is a deeper dive into examples to quickly bring folks up to speed on the various capabilities of Pentaho Reporting.For those who already are familiar with the basics of Pentaho Reporting, I would still recommend this book for a couple of reasons. First, Chapter 12 covers both content linking and sparklines, very useful features for your every day reports. Second, one of the newest features in Pentaho Reporting 5.0 is stylesheets. In Chapter 13, this book does a great job at an initial introduction to get you started on this powerful capability.Thanks Mariano and Dario for this great contribution!

I've been working for at least a 4 year old with Pentaho and its ecosystem.During this period I have followed developments of the tools and support materials for learning, among them some books.Recently I acquired this book and even having worked with Pentaho Reporting, could still learn more from this book. I liked a lot of the approach in the use of the database "sakila" of the Mysql to illustrate the various possibilities of the tool.The examples are really useful. In addition, the book covers well the possibilities of the tool.Teaches since the creation of simpler report by creating parameterized reports and the use of charts, sparklines, and even create and apply CSS and the use of crosstabs.With regard to programming, teaches since how to configure an application server, with tomcat, until the creation of a "Dynamic Web Project" in eclipse, the use of the PRD library and use the models created in the tool.Anyway, this is a great book to have for the use of the PRD and as a possible reference.Congratulations to the authors, and thank you for this contribution.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
