The method you use to open an existing job depends on if you are using PDI locally on your machine or if you are connected to a repository. If you are connected to a repository, you are remotely accessing your file on the Pentaho Server. Optionally, you can open a job on a Virtual File System (VFS).
Note: If you get a message indicating that a plugin is missing, see Troubleshooting Transformation Steps and Job Entries
for more details.
If you recently had a file open, you can also use .
