| **Step Name** | Specifies the unique name of the transformation on the canvas. A transformation can be placed on the canvas several times; however, it represents the same transformation. The **Step Name** is set to Job Executor by default.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| **Job**       | <p>Specify your job to execute by entering its path or clicking <strong>Browse</strong>.</p><p>If you select a job that has the same root path as the current job, the variable <em>${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}</em> will automatically be inserted in place of the common root path. For example, if the current job's path is <code>/home/admin/transformation.kjb</code> and you select a job in the folder <code>/home/admin/path/sub.kjb</code> than the path will automatically be converted to <code>*${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}*/path/sub.kjb</code>.</p><p>If you are working with a repository, specify the name of the job. If you are not working with a repository, specify the XML file name of the job.</p><p>Jobs previously specified by reference are automatically converted to be specified by the job name within the Pentaho Repository.</p> |
