Summary
This appendix covered the basic concepts for working with repositories. Besides the topics covered here, working with repositories is pretty much the same as working with files.
Although the tutorials in this book were explained assuming that you work with files, all of them can be implemented under a repository-based configuration with minimal changes, as explained in the Designing jobs and transformations section earlier. You should not have any trouble in developing and testing the exercises.
Whether you decide to work with repositories or not, you will find the next appendix very useful. It explains in detail how to launch transformations and jobs from the command-line, both from a file-based and a database repository-based system.
