kettle-cookbook =============== Kettle-Cookbook is an auto-documentation tool for Kettle, a.k.a. Pentaho Data Integration (http://kettle.pentaho.com/). It generates human readable documentation in HTML format for collections of Kettle .ktr / .kjb files. Kettle-cookbook is open source (LGPL), and is available from google code: http://code.google.com/p/kettle-cookbook/ Kettle-cookbook is itself built as a Kettle solution. To use kettle-cookbook, you have to run the pdi/document-folder.kjb kettle job located in the pdi directory. The job accepts 3 parameters: INPUT_DIR: the directory containing the .ktr/.kjb files OUTPUT_DIR: the directory where the generated documentation will be stored. SAXON: the path to the location of the saxon jar used to process the xslt This can also process repository based ETLs. It requires that the repository be filesystem based. If you have an Enterprise repository you can export it the import it into a local filesystem based repository. You can run the pdi/document-folder.kjb from the kettle IDE spoon, or run it from the command line using the kitchen tool.
