Community Data Access

Community Data Access

CDA is a Data Access tool that offers an abstraction layer to accessing data within CDF and CDE dashboards

CDA is one of the tools of the CTools family and it is shipped within Pentaho BA Server

This is a maven project, and to build it use the following command

mvn clean install

The build result will be a Pentaho Plugin located in assemblies/cda/target/cda-**.zip. Then, this package can be dropped inside your system folder.

Additionally, CDA build environment requires some configuration on your maven settings.xml file. The file is located under your .m2 directory on your home folder. Please make sure the following configuration is added:

<!-- profiles -->
<profile>
  <id>pentaho</id>
  <activation>
    <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
  </activation>
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>pentaho-nexus</id>
      <name>Nexus Internal</name>
      <url>http://nexus.pentaho.org/content/groups/omni</url>
    </repository>
