"RapidMinerServer and Postgresql in AWS"

Hi,

I have a weird problem with RapidMiner server and Postgresql hosted in AWS. Basically , sometimes processes fail to fetch/read data from a postgresql database giving the error:

 

SEVERE: Process failed: com.rapidminer.operator.UserError: Cannot retrieve repository data from entry '//DB/advancedanalytics/Example Sets/analytics_data.conditions'. Reason: Requested repository DB does not exist..

 

The trouble is if I ran the same process on RapidMiner studio, it executes successfully and at some point the problem would clear by itself on RapidMiner server.

Is there a known problem on RapidMiner server and postgresql connectivity?

 

Thanks.

    Hi!

     

    I use PostgreSQL with a RapidMiner server all the time. Both local and remote databases. 

     

    You're loading the example set from the //DB virtual repository. Could you try to use Read Database instead? It would at least give you better error messages.

    It appears Read Database works well if the "use default schema" checkbox is disabled and then one explicitly states which schema to use.

    Hi Balazs,

     

    Thanks for your suggestion. Read database gives a similar error, as you said it gives a better error message - it tells me the relation/table does not exist, however I can actually access this table in pgAdmin and also the same process runs in RapidMiner studio, so it has got to be something to do with RapidMiner server.

     

    error message:

    SEVERE: Process failed: com.rapidminer.operator.UserError: Database error occurred: ERROR: relation "conditions" does not exist

     

    It just baffles me.

    Good to know. Thank you for providing the solution. 

     

    I never had problems like this with a non-cloud PostgreSQL database. Maybe the Amazon stuff is doing something behind the scenes that sometimes fails.
