Enable DataSync to act as an adaptor to publish data from Pentaho
The simplest way to achieve this would be to enable configuring a DataSync job by passing command line parameters as an alternative to running a saved job file. Then a Pentaho template could be created that calls DataSync in this way.
Adrian, with thanks to you, DataSync has a fully supported headless mode. Presumably Pentaho templates can easily call into DataSync now?
Yes. We are running a lot of update jobs that way. We actually are working on a GitHub repository to provide a framework for others to do the same. (Bringing @tomschenkjr into the conversation.)
That said, an actual Pentaho Kettle step would be even easier, particularly for smaller organizations, if Socrata ever wanted to take a shot at that. However, we are covered at this point.
