What needs to happen?

Video 2 — Installation and configuration

Folder docs/video-series/02-installation. About four minutes. Assumes video 1.

  • Apache Hop 2.20 and Java 21. Data Hopper EDW is a plugin under plugins/misc/hopper-edw/, installed from the release zip or the Marketplace.
  • Open the retail-example project. On a new project the same first step is Tools → Configure EDW setup.
  • That dialog creates the FILE catalog connection local-catalog and the shared configurations source-model, data-vault, business-vault, and dimensional.
  • A warehouse needs a source connection, a Vault target, and an optional OPS database for metrics. Retail uses CRM, Vault, and OPS. The sample Postgres listens on port 54320.
  • The dialog does not create a resource definition group. That is video 6.
  • Hop GUI on the laptop is where you model. The same project folder is what a later run uses. Do not demonstrate hop-run.

Show the Configure EDW setup dialog, then those metadata objects.

Docs: docs/getting-started-edw.adoc (chapter 0), docs/training/module-1-installation-and-setup.adoc, docs/datavault-configuration.adoc.
