Carte and Mappings

[clavigne]

Is it possible to run transformations with mappings using carte (Kettle 2.5.1)? I'm trying to remotely run a transformation that includes two mappings, but the error message suggests they are invalid, when they are not. Transformation objects are stored in repository db. Remote server is 64bit linux, spoon client is windows xp.

There was an error preparing the transformation for excution on the remote server:

Maybe raise a jira tracker http://jira.pentaho.org/browse/PDI . The reason for it is probably that while the main transformation is pushed over to carte, it's not occurring with the mappings. This is either oversight or not implemented/supported.
