Time for action – browsing new features of PDI by copying a dataset
Before starting, let's introduce the Pentaho BI Platform Tracking site. At the Tracking site, you can see the current Pentaho roadmap and browse their issue-tracking system. The PDI page for that site is http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PDI.
In this exercise, you will export the list of proposed new features for PDI, from the site and generate detailed and summarized files from that information.
Access to the main Pentaho Tracking site page is at: http://jira.pentaho.com.
