The Kinesis Consumer step requires definitions for setup, batch, fields, result fields, and Kinesis Data Streams specific options to consume messages.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Step name | Specifies the unique name of the step on the canvas. The Step name is set to Kinesis Consumer by default. |
| Transformation | Specify the child transformation to execute by performing any of
the following actions.
The selected child transformation must start with the Get Records from Stream step. If you select a transformation that has the same root path as the current transformation, the variable ${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory} is automatically 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 directory /home/admin/path/sub.ktr, then the path is automatically converted to ${Internal.Entry.Current.Directory}/path/sub.ktr. If you are working with a repository, you must specify the name of the transformation. If you are not working with a repository, you must specify the XML file name of the transformation. Transformations previously specified by reference are automatically converted to be specified by the transformation name in the Pentaho Repository. |
