# Options tab

![Options tab, Transformation (job entry)](https://3411831820-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYwCj9fPr1B2pjC11IOQ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b096773646f44c64dce4f87fa3ab1935a3252dbd%2FssPdiDboxtrans-job.png?alt=media)

The following table describes available options:

| Option                                          | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

| **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/9.3-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.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/9.3-data-integration/pdi-job-entries-reference-overview/transformation-job-entry-cp/options-transformation-job/options-tab-transformation-pdi-entry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
