Low hanging fruit. Using a console command like:
C:\pdi-ce-5.2.0.0-209\data-integration>pan.bat /file:E:\Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT\dynamic pivot\trying_pivot_with_2_billingid.ktr /level:Basic
you are have folder name with spaces -
Practise_TRANSFORMATION OUTPUT
try
Practise_TRANSFORMATION^ OUTPUT
there is different approaches to deal with cmd and file names with spaces. See Executing cmd file contained in a folder with space as example.
