| **Run Configuration**                           | The transformation can run in different types of environment configurations. Specify a run configuration to control whether the transformation runs on the native Pentaho engine or a Spark client. If you choose the Pentaho engine, you can run the transformation locally, on a remote server, or in a clustered environment. To set up run configurations, see [Run configurations](/pdia-data-integration/10.2-data-integration/data-integration-perspective-in-the-pdi-client/work-with-jobs/run-your-job/run-configurations-work-with-jobs.md). |
| **Execute every input row**                     | Runs the transformation once for every input row (looping).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Clear results rows before execution**         | Makes sure the results rows are cleared before the transformation starts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| **Clear results files before execution**        | Makes sure the results files are cleared before the transformation starts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Wait for remote transformation to finish**    | If you selected **Server** as your environment type, choose this option to block the job until the transformation runs on the server.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **Follow local abort to remote transformation** | If you selected **Server** as your environment type, choose this option to send the local abort signal remotely.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
