Question

I’m thinking about using pentahose to help me transform different xml files from several sources to integrate the data in my system. Those xml are downloaded from internet every 10 minutes by a java program. If I want to use Kettle to transform the data, do I need a Pentahose server in order to run the transformations? Or is there a way to export the transformations to java classes so I can use them? I’d appreciate any kind of orientation 🙂

Answer 1

if you wan to run Transformations you only need the command console pan.sh, if you are going to run jobs you will need to execute the kitchen.sh command. Take a peek to carte.sh server, its a self contained webserver that allows you to send transformations and jobs remotely to another machine. (intranet, internet).

Answering your other question about java code: No, kettle does not generate java code based on your transformations and jobs, only xml.
