After the former article of connection to Google Spreadsheets, we’re going to import the data “on schedule” and “automatically” now.

Don’t doubt. It’s totally different topic and function. I’m sure you can’t even get it done in 1 day again. I saved your working day (or even more) in 10 mins. You’re welcome.

Steps are as below:

  1. Create a “Job” (not “transform” as former article)
  2. Pull “start” -> “transform” -> “Success”
  3. Know the function in PDI- Kitchen.bat
  4. Using Kitchen.bat to set your own batch file
  5. Testing with proper log
  6. Result

Please don’t ask me about the task setting in OS. There are plenty of articles of it.
