Appendix B. Pan and Kitchen – Launching Transformations and Jobs from the Command Line
Despite having used Spoon as the tool for running jobs and transformations, you may also run them from a terminal window. Many transformations and jobs you design in Spoon end up being used as part of batch processes, for example, processes that run every night in a scheduled fashion. When it comes to running them in that way, you need Pan and Kitchen.
Pan is a command-line program which lets you launch the transformations designed in Spoon, both from the .ktr files and from a repository.
The counterpart to Pan is Kitchen, which allows you to run jobs both from .kjb files and from a repository.
This appendix shows you the different options you have to run these commands.
