Downloading Talend

Downloading Talend

Downloading Talend is a simple process. Just visit the Talend website and download the version you require. Talend may be installed on Windows, OSX, Unix and Linux.

Current Release

For the purpose of this documentation, we're installing Talend Open Studio (TOS) version 5.2 (which is the latest version at the time of writing). In May 2013, Talend 5.3.0 was released.

Which installer should I download?

There are two installers available from the Talend site, a Windows only executable and a zip file that may be installed on all three platforms. My personal preference is for the zipped version as this is a no-install installation.

Which platform should I use?

This is a personal choice. Talend Open Studio runs on Windows, OSX, Unix and Linux. My personal choice has been to develop on Windows; however, I also develop on OSX from time to time. Windows has proven to be the best experience, so far. On OSX, the development environment can be a little quirky, although it seems to have improved in later versions. That said, Talend is very usable on OSX. I have no experience of Talend on Unix or Linux and, of course, there are many flavors of these.

Eclipse & Java

The Talend development environment is based on Eclipse and produces Java (or Python) code - Talend is a code-generator.

Installation

For information on installing Talend, follow these instructions.

Error Handling Mechanism in Talend Open Studio

Error Handling Mechanism in Talend Open Studio Three Error Handling Strategies in Talend Open Studio You can recover from some errors.  Others, like system or network failures are fatal.  But even in the fatal case, your Talend Open Studio job should die gracefully, notifying the operations team and leaving the data in a good state.  This post presents three error handling strategies for your Talend jobs. Some Talend Open Studio job errors are alternate paths that, though infrequent, occur often enough to justify special programming. This programming may come in the form of guard conditions, special logic applied to route the special case to another sub job.  For an example of these type of errors, see this blog post on  ETL Filter Patterns .
