Chapter 11. Creating Advanced Transformations and Jobs
When you design and implement jobs in PDI, you not only want certain tasks to be accomplished, but also want a clean and organized work; a work that can be reused, easy to maintain, and more. In order to accomplish these objectives, you still need to learn some advanced PDI techniques.
This chapter is about learning techniques for creating complex transformations and jobs. Among other things, you will learn to:
- Create subtransformations
- Implement process flows
- Nest jobs
- Iterate the execution of jobs and transformations
You already are quite an expert with Spoon! Therefore, in this chapter we will not give much space to details such as how to configure a Text file input step. Instead, we will focus on more generic procedures, in order to focus on the techniques you will learn.
Tip
If you get into trouble, you can refer to earlier chapters, browse the Wikipedia page for a specific step or job entry, or simply download the material...
