Talend Installation Guide


Installing Talend

If you haven't already downloaded Talend, follow these instructions. You are then ready to install Talend on the platform of your choice, Windows, OSX or Linux.
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).

Windows

There are two installers available for Windows, an executable or the universal ZIP file. My personal choice is for the ZIP file as this provides a no-install installation, on Windows.
Once you've downloaded the universal ZIP file, unzip the file in to an appropriate location. On Windows, My preference is to create a directory C:\Talend. From my experience, universal installer software does not work well with directory paths that contain spaces so I would avoid Program Files.

OSX

Talend is installed on OSX, using the universal ZIP ile.
Once you've downloaded the universal ZIP file, unzip the file in to an appropriate location. On OSX, software is usually installed in /Applications.

Unix and Linux

Talend is installed on UNIX and Linux, using the universal ZIP file.
Once you've downloaded the universal ZIP file, unzip the file in to an appropriate location. Software is often installed in /usr/local.

Talend Directory File Structure

You'll see from the listing below that most of the files in the Talend root directory are start-up scripts and accompanying inifiles. When lanching Talend, you'll need to choose the script that is appropriate for your Operating System.

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 .
