Modules

 

Context variables in Pipeline Designer

This new module on Pipeline Designer demonstrates how to use context variables in the configuration of processors, connections, and datasets.

 

New Talend Data Fabric Foundations video

 

Talend Data Quality Foundations

This new module provides an overview of Talend Data Quality and how it can help you to cleanse and standardize your data, while addressing privacy concerns.

 

Advanced use cases

 

Comparing real-time to batch implementation

This use case helps you determine when to use batch Jobs or real-time API-based Jobs to update the same database. You design the Jobs in Talend Studio and manage consistent IDs between Jobs by configuring UUID.

 

Solution templates

 

Amazon Translate Integration using Talend Component Kit

This solution template shows you how to create a custom component for Amazon Translate using Talend Component Development Kit, and how to use it in a Talend Studio Job.

 

Context Management Framework using Azure Key Vault

This solution template shows you how a Talend Job that requires access to a database can programmatically retrieve the database credentials from a key vault at runtime, rather than hard-coding them in an external file or a database table.

 

Integrating MongoDB in Talend Standard Jobs

This solution template shows you how to push downloaded data to a single collection, update and query the data, and finally fetch the data in real-time and store it using GridFS components.
