# PDI design tools and utilities

Pentaho Data Integration allows users to design and manage complex ETL workloads with a graphical user interface.

Kitchen, Pan, and Carte are command line tools for executing jobs and transformations modeled in the PDI client.

* Use Pan and Kitchen command line tools to work with transformations and jobs
* Use Carte clusters to:
  * Schedule jobs to run on a remote Carte server.
  * Stop Carte from the command line interface or URL.
  * Run transformations and jobs from the repository on the Carte server.

See the **Pentaho Data Integration** document for details on Kitchen, Pan, and Carte.

You will need to know how to perform the following tasks for the PDI design tools and utilities:

* Start and stop the PDI design tools and utilities.
* Increase the PDI client memory limit.
