The following options are available under this heading:

Kettle transformation
This data source executes a PDI (Kettle) transformation. Theoretically, you can get data from any source through a Kettle transformation, such as from plain files, Excel spreadsheets, and web services. To access data from Kettle, you will need to provide the name and location of the KTR file and the name of the transformation step which will provide the data. You will also need to define a kettle.TransFromFile connection.
