setDefault

public void setDefault()
Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface

setDefault in interface StepMetaInterface

readRep

public void readRep(Repository rep,
                    ObjectId id_step,
                    List<DatabaseMeta> databases,
                    Map<String,Counter> counters)
             throws KettleException
Description copied from interface: StepMetaInterface

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)

                    ObjectId id_step)
             throws KettleException

getFields

public void getFields(RowMetaInterface inputRowMeta,
                      String name,
                      RowMetaInterface[] info,

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:
inputRowMeta - 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.

check

public void check(List<CheckResultInterface> remarks,
