Pentaho Kettle: how to pass variable from transformation to another transformation inside job

Question

I have two transformations in the job. In the first trasnformation - I get details about the file.

Now I would like to pass this information to the second transformation, I have set variable in the settings parameters of the trasnformation #2 and use Get Variables inside - but the values are not passed.

See attached sample: https://www.hightail.com/download/bXBiV28wMVhLVlZWeHNUQw

LOG_1 - displays file time, however LOG_2 and LOG_3 are not producing any value.

How can I pass variable across transformations and to parent job.
