Pan is a command-line program used to launch the transformations designed in Spoon. The counterpart to Pan is Kitchen, which allows you to run Jobs. In this first section, you will learn the basics about these utilities.
Kitchen, the program that executes Jobs from a Terminal window, comes in two versions:kitchen.bat
and kitchen.sh
. You will use one or the other depending on the platform—Windows or Unix-like systems respectively. Pan, the program that executes transformations from a Terminal window, also comes in two versions: pan.bat
and pan.sh
.
Note
You will find all these files—kitchen.bat
, kitchen.sh
, pan.bat
, and pan.sh
—in the PDI installation directory.
The simplest way to run a Job or Transformation with these utilities is just providing the full path of the kjb
or ktr
file that you intend to execute. You will execute Pan or Kitchen according to the following table:
Task | Windows | Unix-based system |
