                    Map<String,Counter> counters)
             throws KettleException
Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface

id_step - The step ID
databases - The databases to reference
counters - The counters to reference
Throws:
KettleException - When an unexpected error occurred (database, network, etc)

saveRep

public void saveRep(Repository rep,
                    ObjectId id_transformation,
                    ObjectId id_step)
             throws KettleException
Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface
Save the steps data into a Kettle repository

Specified by:
saveRep in interface StepMetaInterface
Parameters:
rep - The Kettle repository to save to
id_transformation - The transformation ID
id_step - The step ID
Throws:
KettleException - When an unexpected error occurred (database, network, etc)

searchInfoAndTargetSteps

public void searchInfoAndTargetSteps(List<StepMeta> steps)
Description copied from class: BaseStepMeta
Change step names into step objects to allow them to be name-changed etc.

Specified by:
searchInfoAndTargetSteps in interface StepMetaInterface
Overrides:
searchInfoAndTargetSteps in class BaseStepMeta
Parameters:
steps - the steps to reference

chosesTargetSteps

public boolean chosesTargetSteps()

getTargetSteps

public String[] getTargetSteps()

getFields

public void getFields(RowMetaInterface r,
                      String name,
                      RowMetaInterface[] info,
                      StepMeta nextStep,
                      VariableSpace space)
               throws KettleStepException
Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface
Get the fields that are emitted by this step

Specified by:
getFields in interface StepMetaInterface
Overrides:
getFields in class BaseStepMeta
Parameters:
r - The fields that are entering the step. These are changed to reflect the output metadata.
name - The name of the step to be used as origin
info - The input rows metadata that enters the step through the specified channels in the same order as in method getInfoSteps(). The step metadata can then choose what to do with it: ignore it or not. Interesting is also that in case of database lookups, the layout of the target database table is put in info[0]
nextStep - if this is a non-null value, it's the next step in the transformation. The one who's asking, the step where the data is targetted towards.
space - TODO
Throws:
KettleStepException - when an error occurred searching for the fields.
