Options

Description

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 Transformation Executor by default.

Transformation

Specify your transformation to execute by entering its path or clicking Browse.

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 transformation. If you are not working with a repository, specify the XML file name of the transformation.

Transformations previously specified by reference are automatically converted to be specified by the transformation name within the Pentaho Repository.
