Discover how to launch Talend Open Studio and open your project Repository.

Read the installation guide to install Talend Open Studio and visit the forum if you have any questions.

The Prior test validates the correct installation of Talend Open Studio on Windows, and in particular Java Virtual Machine installation.

The Prior test checks the installation of Java Virtual Machine. When you create a Perl project, Prior test validates the correct installation of ActiveState's Perl. This describes the creation of a simple job and its execution.

Note that a similar test is also available on Linux-Unix. Check out the install documentation for Linux for further details.

Discover the Graphical User Interface of Talend Open Studio!

Discover the main elements composing your project Repository: Business Models, Job Designs, Metadata, Context, Code and Documentation. Talend Open Studio´s Business Modeler offers a unique top-down approach. The Job Designer and Metadata elements are used to generate the Java or Perl code. All documents related to your project can be stored in the Documentation area.

We can use the assignment of repository items to set shapes and their interrelation.
With a right click on a repository item, we choose "find assignments" and a border appears on all shapes and relations which use the assignement of the selected repository item.

Context

The script code is simplified with a global variable such as context.variable_name.
With "Export context", we create a context group and context variable using the parameters of the metadata (source of file, encoding, row separator, ...).

Component properties

The Component view is to set the basic and advanced settings.
The Properties view is to read the job properties - “read-only” mode.

Discover how to use Talend Open Studio with a Shared Repository.

Talend On Demand is the industry's first data integration Software as a Service (SaaS). Talend On Demand consolidates Talend Open Studio metadata and project information in an online, shared repository hosted by Talend. It allows project teams of any size to consolidate data integration work in a centralized and shared repository, facilitating collaboration, object and code reuse, and promoting development best practices. Read the Talend On Demand Administrator User Guide to discover all the skills required to take full advantage of the too. Visit the dedicated forum if you have any questions.

Find the link between the Repository and the Job Designer.

Numerous wizards can help you deal with Repository Metadata, including complex file formats (positional, delimited, CSV, RegExp...) and heterogeneous databases. This tutorial describes how to create a Metadata "Delimited File" and how to use it in a simple Job. At the end of this tutorial, note the real-time data tracking feature used throughout the whole transformation process.

When you change one resource on the repository, TOS proposes to update all the jobs that use this resource.
A border appears with a background color to delimited all subjobs.

Learn about Job designer features.

Create a simple Job Design that sort data. This tutorial explains how to create a Job aiming at reading data from a Delimited File, writing it into a temp file and replacing the source file with the temp file. In this tutorial, only "Built in" Schemas are used (not stored in the Repository but used only on this Job Design). Note that you can create the same Job using Metadata files stored in the Repository.

Setting up tMap component to aggregate and transform data.

In this tutorial, you will use a customer files and a states files. The tMap component will be used to agregate data from both input files and to create an output file.

Discovering the features of the tMap component.

In this tutorial, you will use the input file of the preceding job in order to tackle the particularities of the tMap component. The tMap component will be used to select data to create 3 outputs files:
 - customers from Ohio
 - customers from other states
 - join error

Now the lookup data sources can be charged in tempory files on the HardDrive on the server and not in memory. We maximize system performance when using voluminous data sources.

Set up a Repository Metadata database connection.

This tutorial shows you how the "DbConnections" wizard can help you define database connections stored centrally in the Repository. After setting up this Metadata DbConnection, you will be able to define various Schemas to be used in multiple jobs.

Define Repository Schemas for a database table.

This tutorial shows you how the "Schema Table" wizard can help you define schema of a database table, stored in the Repository. You can create several Schemas to define each table.

To select specific tables from a DBconnection, we can use patterns such as “type” and “name” against which all tables in a DB are compared and only matching tables are parsed through.

Define Repository Schemas for a Delimited File

This tutorial shows you how the "Delimited File" wizard can help you deal with complex file formats. You can create specific Schemas meeting each one of your needs. For example, you could imagine a "home address" schema and another "delivery address" schema both corresponding to the same file.

Create Schemas on the Repository to describe the Schema of a Positional File.

This tutorial shows you how the "Positional File" wizard can help you deal with complex file formats. You can create specific Schemas meeting each one of your needs. For example, you could imagine a "home address" schema and another "delivery address" schema both corresponding to the same file.

Create Schemas on the Repository to describe the Schema of a Regex File.

This tutorial shows you how the "Regex File" wizard can help you deal with complex file formats. You can create specific Schemas meeting each one of your needs. For example, you could imagine a "home address" schema and another "delivery address" schema both corresponding to the same file.

Create Schemas on the Repository to describe the Schema of a XML File.

This tutorial shows you how the "XML File" wizard can help you deal with complex file formats. You can create specific Schemas meeting each one of your needs. For example, you could imagine a "home address" schema and another "delivery address" schema both corresponding to the same file.
