This is a Plugin for Apache Fineract. (This code lives here instead of being part of the core Apache Fineract repository because of software licenses.)
see TODO for possible future follow-up enhancement work.
This project is currently only tested against the very latest and greatest
bleeding edge Fineract develop branch. Building and using it against
older versions may be possible, but is not tested or documented here.

The API call (above) should not fail if you follow the steps as shown, and all conditions met for the version of fineract
This project is currently only tested against the very latest and greatest bleeding edge Fineract develop branch. It works like a charm after (PR #1671). Building and using it against older versions may not work. You might want to cherry pick the changes made in the above PR
git clone https://github.com/apache/fineract.git
cd fineract && ./gradlew bootJar && cd ..
git clone https://github.com/vorburger/fineract-pentaho.git
cd fineract-pentaho && ./gradlew -x test distZip && cd ..
mkdir -p ~/.mifosx/pentahoReports/
cp ./fineract-pentaho/pentahoReports/* ~/.mifosx/pentahoReports/
./fineract-pentaho/run.bat
To test this you can any REST Client tool (like Postman) with the following parameters
HEADERS Fineract-Platform-TenantId: default Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Basic bWlmb3M6cGFzc3dvcmQ= i.e. (username = mifos & password = password)
If the API call (above) fails with
"There is no ReportingProcessService registered in the ReportingProcessServiceProvider for this report type: Pentaho",
then this Fineract Pentaho Plugin has not been correctly registered & loaded by Apache Fineract.
Both scripts (windows and Linux alike) basically just creates the following directory structure:
fineract-provider.jar
lib/fineract-pentaho.jar
lib/pentaho-reporting-*.jar
lib/lib*.jar
and then launches Apache Fineract with the Pentaho Plugin and all its JARs like this:
java -Dloader.path=lib/ -jar fineract-provider.jar
See also PentahoReportsTest and the test script.
This code used to be part of the Mifos codebase before it became Apache Fineract. During that move, the Pentaho related code had to be removed, because Pentaho's license prevents code using it from being part of an Apache Software Foundation hosted project.
The correct technical solution to resolve such conundrums is to use a plugin architecture - which is what this is.
