The definition of a PDI job is represented by a JobMeta object. It is typically loaded from a .kjb file, a PDI repository, or it is generated dynamically. The declared parameters of the job definition are then queried using listParameters() and assigned values using calls to setParameterValue(..). JobMeta provides methods to load, save, verify, etc.
