Add variables using Pentaho "Run" options

Question

I have a need to build a system that fetches data from an Amazon pgdb3 and provide a constant that is used later in the transformation, which is "S_ID" here.

This is my transformation and it is giving me errors if I try to use the variable as ${S_ID} in the "Add constants" step as shown.

What do I need to do in order to make the transformation succeed?

Answer 1

I don't know if the Add constants step has been modified in later versions, but in my 8.2 version of PDI it doesn't allow the use of variables in the Value.

Use the Get variables step instead.
