How to wait for previous steps to finish

Question

I am designing an ETL with spoon from Pentaho.

My purpose is to execute 'Calculate Value' after 'Load To Database' and 'Update Database'.

What step should be used to replace '??? Step wait' ?

Solution 1

replace ??? step wait with a dummy step. then after that have a "Block rows on step"

Solution 2

You could move the "Calculate Value" step into a new transformation and create a job to execute this after the first transformation is completed.
