I have a Pentaho installed on my windows machine and am running spoon. I wish to know the file where the KETTLE_HOME is defined. Where can I find this file?
I need to know this info because there is more than one kettle.properties on my computer and I wish to understand which one is being picked up.
The default location for the Pentaho DI home directory is the .kettle directory in your system user's home directory.
Windows C:\Documents and Settings{user}.kettle
Check your OS environment variables for any defined KETTLE_HOME
If it is not defined in your OS environment variables that means it refers to the above default path.
