Hi,
Me and a colleague have been using Kettle for a couple of years, and our working lives would surely be miserable without it. For some time we've entertained the idea of making some of our transformations available to other colleagues who have never used Kettle. I suppose we are both intermediate Kettle users, having made perhaps 50-100 transformations and jobs each. We have used Spoon and Kitchen. We run transformations from our respective computers and have also scheduled some transformations to run via Kitchen during the night. That's pretty much our experience level. We are planning to set up a Kettle server which willl run scheduled jobs, but we haven't done that yet.
Here's the scenario:
We have an internal ASP web page which is only available to our workplace. We would like to allow a colleague to access this web page and simply press a button to start a job from our Kettle server. For testing purposes, let's just say its a transformation with a table input step which returns the first ten records from a table and puts these in an email adress supplied by the user via the web page (we know how to do this in an ordinary job, but not via a web page). The user does not have direct access to the database.
Forgive me if this is a bit vague... We are fumbling around in the dark here. Could the above be achieved using Carte? We have seen it, heard about it but never used it.
Has anyone tried this or something similar? Have you perhaps discovered any good information on the subject?
I'm thankful for any input that could lead us in the right direction.
