Overview
Pentaho Data Integration provides powerful ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) capabilities. Universal Controller is integrated to orchestrate the jobs and transformations within Pentaho Data Integration platform via Carte webservice calls.
As an alternative approach, if there is no Carte webserver set-up, it is possible to use the Kitchen & Pan command line utility to execute the jobs & Transformations within the Pentaho Data Integration platform via Windows or Linux Task type in Universal Controller.
The current integration with Pentaho is developed using the Universal Extension functionality in Universal Controller.
The following is the overview of this integration.
UAC communicates with Pentaho Data Integration through the REST-API methods available for the Carte Server.
Universal Controller offers the following functionalities that can be orchestrated within the Pentaho Data Integration Platform:
Run a Pentaho Data Integration Job where the repository details are already supplied in Carte configuration files.
Run a Pentaho Data Integration Job from any of the available repository Via Carte web service calls.
Run a Pentaho Data Integration Job from a *.KJB file.
Define & Run a Pentaho Integration Job from Universal Controller Script library.
Execute a Pentaho Data Integration Transformation where the repository details are already supplied in Carte configuration files.
Run a Pentaho Data Integration Transformation from a *.KTB file.
Define & Run a Pentaho Integration Transformation from Universal Controller Script library.
Software Requirements
This integration requires a Universal Agent 7.0 and a Python runtime to execute the Universal Task against a Pentaho Data Integration.
Software Requirements for Universal Template and Universal Task
Universal Agent from V7.0 supporting Universal Extension
Requires Python 3.6 or higher. Tested with the Universal Agent bundled Python distribution.
Python modules required:
requests
base64
ElementTree
Software Requirements for Universal Agent
Universal Agent for Linux or Windows Version 7.0.0.0 or later is required.
Universal Agent needs to be installed with python option (--python yes).
Software Requirements for Universal Controller
Universal Controller Version 7.0.0.0 and later.
Software Requirements for the Application to be Scheduled
This Universal Task has been tested with the following Pentaho Data Integration versions:
9.1
Versions from 8.0 can also be supported as it have the same Carte REST-API
Technical Considerations
Universal Agent and Universal Controller from Version 7.0 and later.
Installation of a Universal Agent V7.0 in Pentaho Server.
Pentaho tool must be configured with the Carte Server configuration.
Necessary Python modules installed in the Universal Agent Python library as described in the section above.
