Kitchen Options and Syntax

Kitchen runs jobs, either from a PDI repository (database or enterprise), or from a local file. The syntax for the batch file and shell script are shown below. All Kitchen options are the same for both.

Note: Windows systems use syntax with the forward slash (“/”) and colon (“:”). If spaces are present in the option values, use single quotes (“) and double quotes (“”) to keep spaces together, for example, "-param:MASTER_HOST=192.168.1.3" "-param:MASTER_PORT=8181"

kitchen.sh -option=value arg1 arg2 

kitchen.bat /option: value arg1 arg2 

Switch	Purpose
rep	Enterprise or database repository name, if you are using one
user	Repository username
pass	Repository password
job	The name of the job (as it appears in the repository) to launch
dir	The repository directory that contains the job, including the leading slash
file	If you are calling a local KJB file, this is the filename, including the path if it is not in the local directory
level	The logging level (Basic, Detailed, Debug, Rowlevel, Error, Nothing)
logfile	A local filename to write log output to
listdir	Lists the sub-directories within the specified repository directory
listjob	Lists the jobs in the specified repository directory
listrep	Lists the available repositories
export	Exports all linked resources of the specified job. The argument is the name of a ZIP file.
norep	Prevents Kitchen from logging into a repository. If you have set the KETTLE_REPOSITORY, KETTLE_USER, and KETTLE_PASSWORD environment variables, then this option will enable you to prevent Kitchen from logging into the specified repository, assuming you would like to execute a local KTR file instead.
version	Shows the version, revision, and build date
param	Set a named parameter in a name=value format. For example: -param:FOO=bar
listparam	List information about the defined named parameters in the specified job.
maxloglines	The maximum number of log lines that are kept internally by PDI. Set to 0 to keep all rows (default)
maxlogtimeout	The maximum age (in minutes) of a log line while being kept internally by PDI. Set to 0 to keep all rows indefinitely (default)
