Hey there.

First off I would like to say that I really enjoy CloverETL. I have been working with SSIS for a while now, and it was a breath of fresh air to try out CloverETL.

I have made my first ETL package with Clover and want to set it to a schedule. I am using the clover.bat script to help me run it.

I made the system variables JAVA\_HOME and CLOVER\_HOME and I beleave that I have them correctly configured.

However… when I try to run one of my graphs, I run into this error:

C:\Testing\Vaki\_ETL\>“C:\Program Files\CloverETL\jdk1.6.0\_20\bin\java.exe” -cla  
sspath “;;C:\Program Files\CloverETL\plugins\com.cloveretl.gui\_3.2.1\lib\bin\;C:  
\Program Files\CloverETL\jdk1.6.0\_20\lib\tools.jar;” “-Dclover.home=C:\Program F  
iles\cloverETL” org.jetel.main.runGraph -plugins “C:\Program Files\cloverETL\plu  
gins” graph\Fact\_Tables.grf  
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jetel/main/runGra

Could not find the main class: org.jetel.main.runGraph. Program will exit.

Did I mess up my Java refferance, or is this class simply missing ?

I would love to get your input on this.

Hi Vaki,

Hi kubosj.

I have looked at that post. It recommends that i run the clover.bat.

Thats what I did, but when it tries to run org.jetel.main.runGraph, java complains that it cannot be found.

Im wondering if I am missing some crucial plugin. For example I do not have a file or folder on my filesystem called org.jetel.main.

Thanks for your feedback

Hi Vaki,

what about do not set CLOVER\_HOME? Script “clover.bat” should deduce location of installation from own disc location.

Also: what kind of cloveretl you use?  
\* own build of engine  
\* community designer  
\* designer (paid/trial)  
\* …?
