Well it's been an interesting week since I last posted. I've finally been able to run a basic parameter report pulling from the MySQL database. I then went one step further and developed a bursted report. Everyone that received it was actually excited that they could see their data - seeing that I have been working on the database's front end (PHP/HTML/XML) since last winter it's a pivotal moment. The plant's workers have been entering the system and plugging away the things that the various departments have wanted to keep track of and now it's starting to pay off in dividends.
My only real complaint is with the Pentaho Design Studio v. 1.5.4 . It didn't work right with the Email feature for the bursted report - I ended up going into the XML file and updating the report to have the correct parameters. Ironically enough, the Design Studio decided to recognize the bloody formatting after I did that modification and I was able to run/deploy the report with no other hinderances.....
Anywho, I also had some visitors from one of the local plants in the company. They were there for some training from corporate, but my boss decided to have me show off my work. So I'll be doing some work for them sooner or later - probably a version of Task Master. I'm certainly looking forward to working with them. It'll be another venue for me to work out of and try out some new code <3
Ah well, I'm going to try to get up here more often, as long as nothing else decides to hinder me from my usual routines.
