Integrating PDI along with other Pentaho tools

The previous examples show typical uses of PDI as a standalone application. However, Kettle may be used embedded as part of a process or a data flow. Some examples are preprocessing data for an online report, sending emails in a scheduled fashion, generating spreadsheet reports, feeding a dashboard with data coming from web services, and so on.

The use of PDI integrated with other tools is beyond the scope of this book.
