Running transformations with Kettle Pan

Pan is a command line program which lets users launch the transforms designed in Spoon. The transforms can be either run as an XML file (with the ktr extension – kettle transformation) or directly from the repository.

Running the pan.bat script (pan.sh for Linux/Unix) without any parameters will list the available options. In our tutorial we will run the transformations both ways – one written in an XML file and the other directly from the repository.

• Transformation run from an XML file is pretty straightforward and can be executed by the following command:
  pan.bat /file:"D:\DW\pentaho\trsfCountry.ktr" /level:Basic
• Transformation run directly from a repository requires passing the respoitory details and login parameters. Transformer designed in the Spoon tutorial lesson can be run in the following way:
  pan.bat /rep:"DWDEV" /trans:"trsfCountry" /dir:/ /user:admin /pass:admin /level:Minimal
