SOLVED - Installing Extenstion onto RapidAnalytics

spoorti

I see 'Read Database' Operator under 'Operator and Extensions'.
But when I use that operator in process and run remotely I get the following error

"com.rapidminer.operator.UserError: The dummy operator Generate Report (replacing reporting:generate_report) cannot be executed."

which according to other threads 'extension jar is not available' on the server.
'Report Database' operator is shown under operator on the server not under 'Extensions'.
If I change the 'com.rapidanalytics.plugindir' under 'System Settings' to ../rapidAnalytics/plugins' directory after copying the jar file for 'Reporting' extension,
all the opertors disapper and 'Reporting' extension is shown under 'Extension' in red.
How do I fix this ?

Hi,

this is not a problem with the Read Database operator. Your RapidAnalytics is missing the Reporting Extension.
To install it copy the Reporting Extension .jar file to the folder specified in the RapidAnalytics System Settings property 'com.rapidanalytics.plugindir'.

Nils

I copied the "rapidminer-Reporting-5.2.000.jar" to /opt/rapidAnalytics/plugins directory.
Changed the 'com.rapidanalytics.plugindir' under 'System Settings' to /opt/rapidAnalytics/plugins'
After that all the operators dissapper from the 'Operator and Extensions'
Even though 'Reporting' extension is shown under 'Extension' tab it is marked as 'X'.
I get errors for operators like 'Process' as if RA has no operators at all.

Nils_Woehler

Did you change anything beside the plugindir property?
Did you restart your server? I forgot to mention that it has to be done.

Best,
Nils

Yes. I restarted the server after changing the system settings and copying the jar file.

Basically followed the instructions that were here.

Hello Nils , Any further help on this one ? Thanks.

MariusHelf

Do you see any errors in server.log or jboss.log when you start your server? If so, please post an excerpt of the logs containing the *first* errors.
You find these files in your jboss-installation under JBOSS_DIR/server/default/log.

Best,
Marius

When I change the plugindir on 'system settings', all the operators disapper and 'Reporting extension' appears on the 'Extension' tab.

I tried to se rapidminer.home just to try and I get these errors.

Hi,

the error means that you messed with your installation. Looks like your plugin path points to the bin directory of RA which is certainly not where you want it to point to. The error message will go away if you point it to a directory containing only RM plugins. You can still edit the settings in the RA Web interface.

Cheers,
Simon

spoorti

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the response.
If you see the earlier messages from log, the plugindir is set to /opt/rapidAnalytics/plugins.
Setting property com.rapidanalytics.plugindir = /opt/rapidAnalytics/plugins

I set that from 'System Settings'.
Can you please let me know what else I need to change so that it does not read from /opt/rapidAnalytics/bin directory ?
Appreciate your help.

fischer

Hi again,

this is weird, but setting rapidminer home is definitely not the way to go. You want to get rid of this setting again. Doesn't the EJBException in your other post have any cause attached to it? If the Reporting Extension appears in the tab, this is a good sign. If all operators vanish there must be another problem, maybe due to a class loading issue since another rapidminer.jar is on the classpath? Or rapidminer.home is set?

Best,
Simon

I am not quite sure what resoved it. As I was getting timeout errors while trying to create DB connections or testing the DB connection, I looked for help in this forum.
One of the suggested solution was to start RA server from ssh client rather than xterm. I followed that and then changed the 'System Settings' for plugin directory.
When I restarted the RA server the extensions were available and I could execute the remote process using RapidMiner.
Again, I am not sure if that's what fixed the issue. :-)

Hi Nils,

I just put the reporting extension (rapidminer-Reporting-5.3.000.jar) into RapidMiner's subfolder "plugins", but nothing showed up. Then I found your suggestion:

Nils wrote:

[...]
To install it copy the Reporting Extension .jar file to the folder specified in the RapidAnalytics System Settings property 'com.rapidanalytics.plugindir'.
[...]

My RapidAnalytics' system setting for 'com.rapidanalytics.plugindir' is empty and I did not figure out where to change the setting (I assume it should read "plugins").

Could you help me out?

Is it actually correct to put the RapidMINER reporting extension into the RapidANALYTICS plugin directory, or am I mixing something here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if this is the correct post to ask my question but I have a quite similar problem.

I installed RapidAnalytics Community edition a few days ago and everything seems to run fine.
Today I was trying to install the Reporting extension.
I downloaded the " rapidminer-Reporting-5.3.000.jar" and copied it under "/Applications/server/default/plugins" and then pointed the "com.rapidanalytics.plugindir" there.
I restarted the server.
Now under "available operators" in "operators and extensions" I can see the "Reporting(rmx_reporting) version 5.3.000" but I cannot start it as I've seen in some video tutorials.
Is it only for the enterprise edition and if not do you maybe know what am I doing wrong?

Thank you,

Nikos

Nils_Woehler

Hi,

the RapidMiner Reporting extension and the RapidAnalytics Reporting are two different things.
If you install the RapidMiner Reporting extension on RA it allows you to use operators from this extension in RapidMiner processes that run on RA.
If you want to use the RapidAnalytics Reporting you have to buy the Enterprise Edition of RapidAnalytics.

Best,
Nils

Hi Nils,

That's clear.
I appreciate your quick response.
