Pentaho 5.0.1 Send scheduled reports in Email Body - email

How do I send scheduled email with reports within email body. The documention available is not for version 5.0.1 Community Edition. It appears I may have to use xaction (was hoping not) . However I do not know how to go about it? Help please

Pentaho Provides a sample xaction script (email_inventory_inline_HTML.xaction) that does this. Script is in directory:biserver-ce\pentaho-solutions\bi-developers\reporting\unified-file-format for older versions but under Public/Bi Developer Examples/Reporting/PRPT Samples .
I used the Design Studio to modify the xaction script to suit my needs. The Design Studio was not perfect so I had to recheck the generated xaction script for accuracy,
It work fine.

Here is the documentation for scheduling reports by email.
Please remmember it is the enterprise version (which is better documented) and some details might change in the community version.

Use older version of Office.js for Word add-in?

Microsoft updated Office.js this week, and a bug in the latest version is causing serious issues for users of my Word add-in.
Is it possible to specify an older version of Office.js? This seems like basic functionality that should be provided.
I see that it is possible to self host Office.js but Microsoft says that you can't do this for add-ins on App Source and my add-in is available there.
Could you please provide details about the bug that you are facing after the update was made? If there is a regression we can make the patch/update to address the issue. So far we have not received any other issues - so any information you can share around which API is failing with error info would be great.
Someone associated with Microsoft posted an answer, but the answer was downvoted and deleted. :(
I have enough rep to see the deleted answer so I will repeat it:
The Office.js version cannot be specified.
So you are stuck with the latest version of Office.js and cannot change that.

Postsharp express license

I was wondering if you could help – we have previously used a version of Postsharp 2.1.5.1 basic features for the last number of years on a historical application.
All of a sudden, it has started asking for a license key and we cannot find one – it was originally set up by a developer who has long since moved on.
We are trying to use the basic features and don’t require a full license – is this possible?
The version runs on VS 2010 and every time I select an option via the pop up I receive a “Postsharp is configured” message, but when I build the solution, I receive build errors related to Postsharp. Also, the same windows pops up again, and I am taken back to the start of the process i.e. Trial, register or purchase a licence.
Am I missing something in the setup? How do you configure the Express version or download a licence, every time I choose the Express download from the web site I get the full version.
Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
D
You should upgrade to the latest build of PostSharp 2.1. It will give you the ability to register PostSharp Express without getting a license on our website.

Email Notification unpredicted behaviour in sonarqube

This is about sonarqube 5.1 version
I have issue assign plugin and also subscribed to the emails in my profile page. I've done some erroneous SVN commits deliberately to check the email notification settings but it doesn't seem to work correctly. I receive emails sometimes but other times it doesn't work like that.
I know this is not a constructive enough question but I'm really stucked here after trying all the scenarios and going through the documentation.
Any insight would be highly appreciated.
You should uninstall this plugin. It is compatible, but it does not work correctly. The problem is that SonarQube 5.1 introduced core auto assignment (see automatic issue assignment and SONAR-5906). The core functionality & plugin execution order is as follows:
Plugin during the execution assigns issues & collects information to whom he should send e-mails. Next core functionality reassign issues.
Core functionality reassigns issues
Plugin sends emails with incorrect data
See topic on SonarQube mailing list
I am also using SQ 5.1 and Issue Assign plugin works perfectly fine without any issues. You should check your email notification settings.

Sonar periodic email reports

Is it possible to have Sonar sending periodic (To be more specific, weekly) reports by email? I need to have it analyzing as there are new builds, but report only weekly.
Currently i'm running sonar as a jenkins plugin set to analyze whether there is a new build.
I'm not sure if this is the report that you want to use but this is the way we have been using to test the report before looking at the commercial edition that has an email feature. We have been using the Sonar PDF Plugin at:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SONAR/PDF+Plugin
This generates a report of the metrics, violations, other details, and then puts these into a pdf which is generated after a sonar analysis. This pdf is located at a static link such as: SonarServer:9000/api/plugins/Pdfreport/getReport?resource=3955
You can then use Jenkins to send a weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc email with this link attached. It is a workaround to getting out metrics less often.
If you're talking about some digest feature, this is not possible yet.
You could also use the Sonar Web Service along with its Client:-

We use this too but a little differently. This should be perfect for you with an automated job that separately handles it.

Create Task Report from Mylyn?

is there a way to create a task/activity report (say a weekly report) off tasks managed with Mylyn? I've been using Rachota TimeTracker which allows me to create reports (in html format)
http://rachota.sourceforge.net/en/demo.html
I've just started using mylyn (our company uses Embarcadero JBuilder which is is based on Eclipse), but I don't see anywhere in the Eclipse or Embarcadero docs about reporting capabilities.
Is it possible? Is it possible to query activities worked on a prior week and report statistics out of it (management like reports, you know;) I'm sure it is, but I haven't been able to google it out.
Thanks.
You're in luck, Tasktop Pro (the supported version of Mylyn) has reporting. It allows you to:
View all task activity times for the previous day, week, and month
Manually adjust times as necessary to account for meetings and discussions
Submit your adjusted times, on tasks you select, to your task repository
Create reports in various formats
I'd recommend this short video which explains the reporting features in about 6 minutes.

Tasktop Technologies
As you already know by now, the reporting functionality is included into commercial Tasktop product, which is developed by the same people who created Mylyn. So, obviously they are not interested to include some features into a free version. Now you have two options, either buy Tasktop, or develop your own extension for Mylyn. The task data is stored in reasonable simple xml file, so you not necessarily have to create an Eclipse plugin.
the reporting feature was stripped from the project when it used to be called mylar, in 2007, and since the project went commercial never came back to the open source mylyn for obvious reasons..
I found this simple perl script which outputs a pretty basic text only report, good enough for me.

No takers? Not surprised since I can't find anything on the subject. For what's worth, there is an experimental task/activity report available for Mylyn with the sandbox jar. However, I could not get mine to work as I'm tied up with a JBuilder installation behind a firewall (and I can't download anything on the corp network that is not pre-evaluated... it sucks, I know.)
I'm going to have to experiment with the mylyn sandox at home, but it would be great if someone knows of an easier, more stable alternative.
