General

Enter the following information in the transformation step fields:

Field

Description

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

Specify the transformation you want to use as a template for your repetitive tasks by entering in its path. Click Browse to navigate to your template transformation in the VFS browser.

If you select a transformation that has the same root path as the current transformation, the variable ${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory} will automatically be inserted in place of the common root path. For example, if the current transformation's path is /home/admin/transformation.ktr and you select a transformation in the folder /home/admin/path/sub.ktr than the path will automatically be converted to ${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}/path/sub.ktr.

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.

Template transformations previously specified by reference are automatically converted to be specified by name within the Pentaho Repository.
