Uses of Talend

 Some common use cases for Talend Open Studio/Enterprise edition

for Data Integration include:

 Data migration from one database to another

 Regular file exchanges between systems
 Data synchronization
 ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load)
 Data Profiling

6
Advantages:

 The Studio is open source, free to download and use.

 With access to the source code, allowing users to extend the

product to their particular needs if required.

 It's easy to learn and quick to develop with. Even novice

developers will be building complex integrations in no time.

 The Studio's pre-built components handle many common and not-

so-common tasks. Developers can focus on the end-to-end
process, rather than the low-level technical details.

 Talend has an active and open user community. Practical, problem-

solving advice is easy.

2. Installation and set up
 Get the software from Talend website/ project libraries if exists.
 The software(.zip) comes in a single package for all platform like
windows,Linux,MacOS etc.
 Once the download is complete, extract the archive files on your hard
drive.

 Pre requisite for Talend is:

1. Java (ldk 1.7 for enterprise edition 5.4.2)

2. Database client softwares
 If you want to modify the memory allocation for your JVM, you need
to edit the .ini file corresponding to your executable file.

8
Contd.
Based on the system type like 32 bit or 64 bit, you need to
change the corresponding .ini files.

 The default values are :

-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx500m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

 Xms– is for starting memory allocation to jvm.

 Xmx– is for maximum memory allocation to jvm

 Once the installation/set up is done, you need to double click

on the executable item to launch the tool.

 The first screen will be a License screen.

 You can provide the proper license (if available) or you can
directly import.

data related to all of the technical items that you use either to
describe business models or to design Jobs.

–A workspace is a directory on your computer that contains one or

more projects

–A project is a logical grouping of one or more jobs

–A job is a group of one or more components that, when executed,

implement a data flow or integration process

–A component is a preconfigured connector used to perform a

specific data integration operation

–An item is the fundamental technical unit in a project. Items are

grouped, according to their types, as: Job Design, Business model,
Context, Code, Metadata, etc. One item can include other items.
