Suppose that the sample transformation shown in the screenshot is located at c:\pdi_labs\sales_report.ktr. Then the following Pan command
pan.bat /file:"c:\pdi_labs\sales_report.ktr" 20091001 20091031 /level:Detailed > c:\pdi_labs\logs\sales_report.logexecutes the transformation with the same options shown in the screenshot. The command redirects the log to the file c:\pdi_labs\logs\sales_report.log.
Besides these, both Pan and Kitchen have additional options. For a full list and more examples, visit the Pan and Kitchen documentation at http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/Pan+User+Documentation and http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/Kitchen+User+Documentation.
