Pentaho Kettle Component
This component shows a good example how to call a transformation or a job from another Java program.
It can be found in the package org.pentaho.plugin.kettle in the Pentaho-BI-Server project.
Get the source code here.
Program your own Kettle transformation
Recommendation for upward compatibility: If you want to create your own Transformation dynamically (e.g. from meta-data), use the method of generating a XML-file (KTR) instead of using the API. The XML-files are compatibility from the first Version of Kettle until now. This is the same for Jobs.
The example described below performs the following actions:
- create a new transformation
- save the transformation as XML file
- generate the SQL for the target table
- Execute the transformation
- drop the target table to make this program repeatable
The complete source code for the example is distributed in the distribution zip file. You can find this file in the downloads section. (Kettle version 2.1.3 or higher) After unzipping this file, you can find the source code in the "TransBuilder.java" file in the "extra" directory.
The Kettle Java API for Kettle can be generated with Javadoc, e.g. in Eclipse: Project / Generate Javadoc or by exporting to Javadoc. When the wizard opens: Set the location of the Javadoc command and enter the absolute path (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_12\bin\javadoc.exe).
// Generate the transformation. TransMeta transMeta = TransBuilder.buildCopyTable( transformationName, sourceDatabaseName, sourceTableName, sourceFields, targetDatabaseName, targetTableName, targetFields ); // Save it as a file: String xml = transMeta.getXML(); DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File(fileName))); dos.write(xml.getBytes("UTF-8")); dos.close(); System.out.println("Saved transformation to file: "+fileName); // OK, What's the SQL we need to execute to generate the target table? String sql = transMeta.getSQLStatementsString(); // Execute the SQL on the target table: Database targetDatabase = new Database(transMeta.findDatabase(targetDatabaseName)); targetDatabase.connect(); targetDatabase.execStatements(sql); // Now execute the transformation... Trans trans = new Trans(transMeta); trans.execute(null); trans.waitUntilFinished(); // For testing/repeatability, we drop the target table again targetDatabase.execStatement("drop table "+targetTableName); targetDatabase.disconnect();
Below is the source code for the method that creates the transformation:

Running an existing transformation
If you already have created a transformation and saved it in a .ktr or .xml file, you can use code like the below to run it.
public static void runTransformation(String filename) { try { StepLoader.init(); EnvUtil.environmentInit(); TransMeta transMeta = new TransMeta(filename); Trans trans = new Trans(transMeta); trans.execute(null); // You can pass arguments instead of null. trans.waitUntilFinished(); if ( trans.getErrors() > 0 ) { throw new RuntimeException( "There were errors during transformation execution." ); } } catch ( KettleException e ) { // TODO Put your exception-handling code here. System.out.println(e); } }
