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. |
