I'm looking for good resources to refer to, when configuring geokettle. The docs folder in the installation does not contain a user guide. I have googled for tutorials to no avail. Searching community.pentaho.com does not seem to yield any useful results. The samples folder in the installation contains some examples but I haven't quite found what I am looking for:
For example, pulling data from a database and have it show on a map.
If on the other hand, it is better to use a separate geospatial analysis tool with the community edition of pentaho and integrate to the BI Server, your suggestions are also welcome.
Any form of reference will be accepted.

I dont know for sure but have you tried the forum?

Also ask them on twitter perhaps: #FORUM_GeoBI

I've been attempting for a while now to get pydrive to accept my google doc files now. I've tried to find ways to convert .gdoc's to .docx's so I can use the python-docx package to read them, since all the packages I have found have been really confusing to try and learn to use.
Basically want I'm attempting to do is to read a table from a google doc and use the data in that table to create a dictionary with things such as {'xsubject': {'Monday': 'Assignment...}...}. If there is a package that can just read google docs tables, I guess that would be useful. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, since I am working in colab the google docs api quickstart does not seem to work for me. It attempts to open a localhost page and it doesn't show anything nor does it attempt to load.
I am trying to setup pentaho like following on my online server:
http://demo.pentaho.com/pentaho/Home
I want to run reports on my online web-server (to make report accessible round the globe), so I uploaded Pentaho-BI-Server to my domain. Users of the report-designer usually publish to a BI-server to let their reports run on the web. I am not able to figure out how can I configure it, because the documentation help is not vivid for setting up the Pentaho as an online server. Kindly let me know how can I do that?
Is there any tutorial available? Any help would be really appreciated.
BI-Server: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pent.../4.8.0-stable/
Documentation for the BI-Server: http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/Serv...+Documentation
There are several tutorials available online, more or less up to date. A quick search on Google reveals the following:

It should be pretty straight forward. Download, uncompress, setup and run. Maybe a more specific questions can bring more detailed answers.
I'm interested in learning JavaScriptMVC. I've gone through Getting Started and a bunch of the official docs, but I learn best by looking at other people's code. I'm not finding much else in the way of tutorials or sample/open source apps using it.
Anyone know of good tutorials or open source apps I can look at to see how it's used in a more complex app?
PS: I'm aware of the Srchr tutorial, but the proxy at work is blocking me from getting the code with getjs. Is there someplace to download it from the web? If not, I'll grab it at home this weekend.
There are some small examples in the end of each article in JMVC documentation (read core - Model, Controller, View). Also read this https://gist.github.com/989117
Ask on JMVC forum. My advice - start building your own app - it will the best tutorial.
Good luck.
I have done a course in data warehousing and data mining, and I am interested in going the Cognos business intelligence way. However, I need to practice on data which I cannot find. How do I get myself aquainted better with Cognos? I need sample data to work on. Where do I find it ?
Try http://www.data.gov. They have tons of large datasets of all shapes and sizes.
There's also the Stack Overflow torrent...
Microsoft has a great set of reusable sample data for SQL Server. It's much better than the sample gobbledygook that comes with Cognos.
http://msftdbprodsamples.codeplex.com/
You can use one of the free versions of SQL Server with Cognos.
I'm assumming you have access to the product. The absolute best way to learn the product is to leverage the Cognos Examples that are an optional component to install(Comes with Cognos).
The examples not only install the GoSalesDb which is their sample data but the examples also have best practices Framework Models/Cubes/Dashboards/Reports built on this data so you can see how the tool is meant to function.
Everything Cognos/IBM trains on almost for power users/content will use this same sample engine for the most part to teach from.
The examples use to be a joke in early releases but now they are seriously polished and make it easy to not only learn the product but see techniques and approaches that have taken people years to learn.
When the examples are installed you will see in the Cognos Web Portal all this content (Packages/Reports/Cubes/Dashboards/Metric Reprots/Alerts) everything all pre-built and ready for you to run/review and study how it was done and you have the GoSales datasource to use as your playground.
Look in the samples directory of the Webcontent folder. Or have your Cognos administrator set it up.
Why not just use the sample databases that come WITH Cognos 8? If you have access to a Cognos 8 BI installation, you can install the Great Outdoor sample databases which also come with Framework Manager (FM) models and packages for Cognos 8 deployment.
Instructions on installing the samples can be found on the IBM site: Install the IBM Cognos 8 Samples .
Does anyone know where Databasic originates from, and any resources that could help me learn this language?
I'm assuming it's Basic but looking at some sample code there are database-specific features.
I recommend looking at the official documentation: http://download.northgate-is.com/reality/V14%20Manuals/help.htm
The company's web page also might have some useful information: http://www.northgate-reality.com/products.php
There is also DataBASIC that was developed by Metso Automation. It is a Basic variant that includes Database access commands, and has been used in Metso and Telvent products. I've been unable to find any Web resources on it, and depend on the documentation that comes with my Telvent product.
