Hi
I've developed some useful jobs and transformations, mainly reading csv files and inserting on a remote database. All of them worked flawlessly from my pc.
But now I want to go further and run transformations on the same server as the database resides. The reason is to benefit from powerful server performance (32 cores) and avoid the network lag from my office to my CPD. But I got some questions regarding little "details" about file locations and database connections that I can't figure out. I know I must deploy PDI-ce to server and use pan.sh and all, but, some things are not very clear to me.
1.- On my PC, I connect remotely to database. But If I move my transformation to server, I'm guessing how to configure connection. The main reason is that if i set it to "localhost" (instead of the remote server IP) can't map fields, preview or test my transformation in any way. So, how to know if I've configured everything ok?
2.- On my PC, the CSV files are in "c:\Documents and Settings\developer\TransformationsFiles\CSV", when pointing my transformation to server folder (/home/developer/transformartionsFiles/CSV) i'm not sure how to configure my transformation to properly work on server, having the same trouble as the previous question (can't preview or map to see if everything is ok)
My work process is: develop & test transformation on PC > if successful change files location and database target as supposed to be on server > move job file to server
I'm sure I'm wrong and I'm missing an important point, but any help or detailed documentation on filling the gap between development pc and deploy server will be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
