Pan Options and Syntax
Pan runs transformations, either from a PDI repository (database or enterprise), or from a local file. The syntax for the batch file and shell script are shown below. All Pan options are the same for both.
Note: Windows systems use syntax with the forward slash (“/”) and colon (“:”). If spaces are present in the option values, use single quotes (“) and double quotes (“”) to keep spaces together, for example, "-param:MASTER_HOST=192.168.1.3" "-param:MASTER_PORT=8181"

| Switch | Purpose |
|---|---|
| rep | Enterprise or database repository name, if you are using one |
| user | Repository username |
| pass | Repository password |
| trans | The name of the transformation (as it appears in the repository) to launch |
| dir | The repository directory that contains the transformation, including the leading slash |
| file | If you are calling a local KTR file, this is the filename, including the path if it is not in the local directory |
| level | The logging level (Basic, Detailed, Debug, Rowlevel, Error, Nothing) |
| logfile | A local filename to write log output to |
| listdir | Lists the directories in the specified repository |
| listtrans | Lists the transformations in the specified repository directory |
| listrep | Lists the available repositories |
| exprep | Exports all repository objects to one XML file |
| norep | Prevents Pan from logging into a repository. If you have set the KETTLE_REPOSITORY, KETTLE_USER, and KETTLE_PASSWORD environment variables, then this option will enable you to prevent Pan from logging into the specified repository, assuming you would like to execute a local KTR file instead. |
| safemode | Runs in safe mode, which enables extra checking |
| version | Shows the version, revision, and build date |
| param | Set a named parameter in a name=value format. For example: -param:FOO=bar |
| listparam | List information about the defined named parameters in the specified transformation. |
| maxloglines | The maximum number of log lines that are kept internally by PDI. Set to 0 to keep all rows (default) |
| maxlogtimeout | The maximum age (in minutes) of a log line while being kept internally by PDI. Set to 0 to keep all rows indefinitely (default) |
