In the previous chapter, you learned how to use PDI for handling data. With PDI you can also design and run processes or task flows, which can be as simple as creating folders, or really big or complex, as, for example, loading a full data mart. In this chapter, you will learn about the PDI entities designed for handling all these task flows: jobs. These are the topics that will be covered:
- Introducing PDI jobs
- Designing and running jobs
- Executing tasks under conditions
- Managing files
- Sending emails
- Running transformations from jobs
