Why schedule option isn't available on Pentaho PDI Spoon GUI? - pentaho

I want to schedule a job under Pentaho PDI using the Spoon graphical interface. In the pentaho documentation you can see that this is available under Action-->Schedule. But in my case this option isn't there. I'm using Pentaho 6.0.1
What is exactly the problem in my case ?
Thank's in advance for your help.

You will not be able to achieve simply using transformation.
You can create one job and there call your transformation, and you will be able to do batch process/scheduling in spoon.
Note : I am talking about community edition.

How to make multitenancy with pentaho

I'm using pentaho EE 6.1, and I'd like to setup an data source specific for an user, I'v seen in this link https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/6.1/0R0/070/Multi-Tenancy
but I don't undersand how to make it.
Some help please.
Question is not clear.
But i had this same issue sometime back and i am sharing my research and understanding.
In Data integration we have option called parameterised connection and in this way you can achieve multitenancy but due to pentaho architecture of bi server we can't achieve the same in bi server.
you can achieve this in bi server through stored procedure this is one of the way.

Pentaho PDI Data Integration (Spoon) v5.2 has no transaction tab available in Job

I'm using Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) version 5.2 on Mac OSX
I would like to create transaction for the 3 transformation in my job.
I follow this manual https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/5.2/0L0/0Y0/0H0
But there is no Transaction or Miscellaneous Tab in the Job Setting (but it does has in Transformation setting)
Do you guys have any idea how to bring it?
Best Regards,
Based on http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/.10+Job+Settings, that feature is only in Enterprise Edition. You should check your Pentaho version.

Pentaho data integration is one of open source tool provided by pentaho suit.
Spoon is used to create transformation using GUI interface.
if you simply want to run the transformations and jobs then use kitchen or spoon. (mainly used for running this things using command line)
saiku is a 1 of server, pentaho itself has a server (pentaho bi server) and in this you can add saiku pluggin for displaying cubes which are designed in pentaho schema workbench.

Another option if you dont want to use a BI server at all, is to use the Pentaho Report output step in PDI/Kettle. This is great for scheduled jobs. The advantage of this over running schedules in the BI server is that you can cron them, and then if the BI server is down your reports will still run! i.e. it's a lot more reliable.
Try to use wget and submit URL of xaction.
There's an issue As a reporting user, I want to be able to run reports via a simple GUI tool or via the command line without a GUI open since Dec 2009.
According to Command line tool to run reports it's not planned as of Mar 2014.
