| **Step Name**      | Specifies the unique name of the ETL Metadata Injection step on the canvas. You can customize the name or leave it as the default.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| **Transformation** | <p>Specify the transformation you want to use as a template for your repetitive tasks by entering in its path. Click <strong>Browse</strong> to navigate to your template transformation in the <a href="../../data-integration-perspective-in-the-pdi-client/virtual-file-system-browser/vfs-browser-connecting-to-virtual-file-systems">VFS browser</a>.</p><p>If you select a transformation that has the same root path as the current transformation, the variable <strong>${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}</strong> will automatically be inserted in place of the common root path. For example, if the current transformation's path is <code>/home/admin/transformation.ktr</code> and you select a transformation in the folder <code>/home/admin/path/sub.ktr</code> than the path will automatically be converted to <code>${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}/path/sub.ktr</code>.</p><p>If you are working with a repository, specify the name of the template transformation in your repository. If you are not working with a repository, specify the XML file name of the template transformation on your system.</p><p>Template transformations previously specified by reference are automatically converted to be specified by name within the Pentaho Repository.</p> |
