Quoting the docs at
Kitchen is a program that can execute jobs designed by Spoon in XML or in a database repository. Usually jobs are scheduled in batch mode to be run automatically at regular intervals.
The docs show examples for running jobs via the kitchen.sh
script:
This example runs a job from file on a windows platform:
kitchen.bat /file:D:\Jobs\updateWarehouse.kjb /level:Basic
This example runs a job from file on a Linux box:
kitchen.sh -file=/PRD/updateWarehouse.kjb -level=Minimal
This example runs a job from the repository on a windows platform:
(Enter on a single line without returns...)
kitchen.bat
/rep:"Production Repository"
/job:"Update dimensions"
/dir:/Dimensions
/user:matt
/pass:somepassword123
/level:Basic
So I'd say the answer is yes, it's possible to run your transformations and job directly with Kitchen.
