Pentaho Job

1. START

START defines the starting point for job execution. Every job must have one (and only one) Start. Unconditional job hops only are available from a Start job entry. The start job entry settings contain basic scheduling functionality; however, scheduling is not persistent and is only available while the device is running.

The Data Integration Server provides a more robust option for scheduling execution of jobs and transformations and is the preferred alternative to scheduling using the Start step. If you want the job to run like a daemon process, however, enable Repeat in the job settings dialog box.

Note: The basic scheduling functionality and the repeat option are only functional within the main job and not within a sub job.

To create a new Job:

1. In Spoon, click File > New > Job.

2. Drag the ‘START’ job entry onto the canvas.

2. Transformation A

3. Success
