If you are trying to read either transformations from Pan or jobs from Kitchen from a ZIP export but are getting errors, you may have a syntax error in your Pan or Kitchen command.

ZIP files must be prefaced by an exclamation point (!) character. On Linux and other Unix-like operating systems, you must escape the exclamation point with a backslash (\!) as in the following Kitchen example:

Windows:

Kitchen.bat /file:"zip:file:///C:/Pentaho/PDI Examples/Sandbox/linked_executable_job_and_transform.zip!Hourly_Stats_Job_Unix.kjb"

Linux:

./kitchen.sh -file:"zip:file:////home/user/pentaho/pdi-ee/my_package/linked_executable_job_and_transform.zip\!Hourly_Stats_Job_Unix.kjb"
