How to setup MongoDB Connector for BI Components

Here are the high-level steps on installing BI related rpms.

[root@mongobihost raj]# lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer

Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

Release: 6.5

[root@mongobihost raj]# cat /etc/redhat-release 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

[root@mongobihost raj]# which python

/usr/bin/python

[root@mongobihost raj]# python -V

Python 2.6.6

root@mongobihost bin]# cd /tmp/

[root@mongobihost tmp]# ls -ltr

mongodb-bi-schematools-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-libs-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-server-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-contrib-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-devel-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-multicorn-1.1.3-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-pymongo-1.1.3-1.x86_64.rpm

mongodb-bi-fdw-1.1.3-1.noarch.rpm

mongodb-bi-1.1.3-1-centos6-rpms.tar.bz2

NOTE: python Version should be greater than 2.6 - Hence, upgrade it and then install RPMs.

One way to check is :  to start a Python2.6 shell, and confirm that the "collections" module includes the "OrderedDict()" methods. For example:

python

Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep  4 2013, 07:46:00) 

[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import collections

>>> od = collections.OrderedDict()

>>> od

OrderedDict()

Ctrl+D to exit..

mongodrdl ??
mongodrdl produces a schema based on contents of one or more mongod collections and writes them out into .drdl files understood by mongobischema.

mongodrdl -d rajdb -o rajdb.drdl -h mongobihost:27017 -u mongoadmin -p $password --authenticationDatabase admin
