Palo Plugin - Developer wanted

[rauekristian]

I am looking for someone willing to develop a Kettle-Plugin for the Open-Source MOLAP Database Palo (www.palo.net). Jedox would be the project sponsor. Please contact me at kristian.raue at gmx.de.

Hi kristian,

There is a plugin developped by 3A statrégie (german company)
http://www.3a-strategy.com/public_files/kettle/

They did a great job (i use the plugin) but it's for PDI 2.3

Hi Samatar,

that so called 3A "plugin" is not a plugin and is illegal as closed source. (violates the LGPL license)

I offered to help 3A strategies to help develop the plugin so I'm offering my help again in the hope that this mess gets cleared up.
(in a month or so when I have more time :-))

Hi Matt,

we see the problems with the 3A approach and we would like to turn that into a real and highly sophisticated Plugin. Either from scratch or based on the existing work. We have the funds to finance that, but we are still looking for a qualified resource to do the development work, ideally someone with a Kettle background. Anyone you (or somebody else in the forum) could think of that is available on short notice?

Thanks
Kristian

Hi Matt,

You are right.
Thanks for clarifications.

Hope some day, we have a nice Palo Plugin.

I have writing a simple plugin using Java API provided by tensegrity.


This plugin allows creating Palo's databases, dimensions, cubes, consolidations and insertions.

A userguide, an example ( using Pentaho's sample data ), sources and plugin are in the zip file .

(ErrorHandling have a problem ... no rows are put in errorsrow)

Only tested on Linux + Kettle 3RC2 + Palo2.0 server ...

Thank you Nichalas,

We are actually busy developing a set of plugins for PALO in cooperation with Tensegrity.
There will be 4 plugins to read/write from cubes and dimensions.

I think what is probably the best in this situation is that we take the best of both worlds.
What license are you posting this source code under?

All the best!

This plugin is also under GPL .

I can't connect to PALO server with PDI 3.0 / Windows.
I have the message : PDI a rencontré une erreur lors du test de connexion (PDI fails to connect during the test connection)

I have the following configuration :
- Database provider : Palo MOLAP Server
- Access method : Plugin specific
- Host : localhost
- Port : 7777
- Username : admin
- Password : ****
Theses informations are ok when I connect to Palo server with Palo Client (from Tensegrity Software)

Somebody have an idea ? You can send emails to bruno at netaktive.org

Thanks for your help
