PDI design tools and utilities

Pentaho Data Integration allows users to design and manage complex ETL workloads with a graphical user interface.

Kitchen, Pan, and Carte are command line tools for executing jobs and transformations modeled in the PDI client.

• Use Pan and Kitchen command line tools to work with transformations and jobs

• Use Carte clusters to:

  • Schedule jobs to run on a remote Carte server.

  • Stop Carte from the command line interface or URL.

  • Run transformations and jobs from the repository on the Carte server.

See the Pentaho Data Integration document for details on Kitchen, Pan, and Carte.
