Pentaho parameter with same name in job and transformation

Question

I have the same name parameter in a job and in a transformation inside this job. I use the same in the transformation for debugging. The problem is when I execute the job, the transformation doesn't use the value of the job but the transformation.

Example:

job

parameter:

• week 10

transformation

parameter:

• week 30

I need the transformation to use the week 10.

Answer 1

You need to check option "Pass parameter values to sub transformation" in "execute transformation" step in job. and -> use step "Get Variables" in the transformation. You can see my example from Here
