                    List<DatabaseMeta> databases,
                    Map<String,Counter> counters)
             throws KettleException

Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface

Read the steps information from a Kettle repository

Specified by:

readRep in interface StepMetaInterface

Parameters:

rep - The repository to read from

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.

tr - The transformation info

trans - The launching transformation

getStepData
