Running a PDI container

You can use the PDI container to run transformations with the PDI pan command and jobs with the PDI kitchen command.

Once the PDI container is built, use the docker compose command with the run parameter to run a transformation or job with the PDI pan or kitchen command, as shown in the following example:

docker compose -f generatedFiles/docker-compose/yml run pdi ./pan.sh /file:/opt/pentaho/data-integration/simpleTrans.ktr

In this example, the PDI pan command runs the simpleTrans.ktr transformation located in the pentaho/data-integration directory. The container stops once the transformation or job is completed.
