Cannot Save custome perspective

Shinesei — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 10:19:00 GMT

Hi
I'm having an issue with perspectives.
When I save a custom perspective or when I change a default one (ie: moving the components view from the right to the left), once I close and reopen Talend I cannot select my saved perspective and the default one I've changed is reverted to the default.
Where are perspective saved?
I'm on:
Talend Open Studio for Big Data
Version: 6.2.1
Thank you

Hi,
The default perspective are integration, Mediation, Profiling and MDM. What's your custom perspective?

Hi,
I changed the default perspective "Integration" but when I close Talend and reopen it my changes are not preserved.

Same happens if I save the perspective (right click on the perspetives icon on the top right and click Save as...): when I close and reopen Talend the saved perspective is not there.

Thank you

Hi,
The default perspective (DI, ESB, DQ and MDM) structure is designed by talend.
You cannot save your change when re-open talend studio.

Hi,
so if I, for instance, move the Palette from the right to the left, close and reopen, the palette will be moved again to the right?
I see a different behaviour in Talend for Data Integration 6.2.1, it keeps the palette where I put it.
Regards

Hi,
So far, the palette return to the right at startup by default.
You can keep palette on the left side when using Talend for Data Integration 6.2.1 at every startup?

Hi
I'm sorry, by bad - also Talend for Data Integration reverts the Palette to the right - I gave you a wrong information.
However, getting back to part of the original topic, I cannot save a custom perspective. I do the following:
[list=1]

Move the palette from right to the left

Save the Perspective as "Custom Perspective"

Make sure the custom perspective can be selected from the Open Perspective menu

Close Talend

Open Talend again

the "Custom Perspective" cannot be selected and is not visible from the Open Perspective menu

Is also this a designed behavior? A saved perspective persist only until Talend is closed?

Thank you

Hi,
It's a designed behavior. The default perspective (DI, ESB, DQ and MDM) structure will come back at every start up.

Hi
the documentation at the Talend help page:
Saving the configuration of a perspective (chpt 1.4.2)
states that a saved perspective can be opened at any time:

[...]
You can open this perspective any time by selecting it from the [size=2][font=noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][Open Perspective][/font][/size] dialog box.
[size=2][font=noto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][...][/font][/size]

is the documentation wrong?

Hi,
We made a testing on V 6.2.1. The studio can save your custom perspective at startup.
Note: The default perspective (DI, ESB, DQ and MDM) structure will come back at every start up even you close them before.

Thank you Sabrina,
therefore, I think it's an issue with my installation (I'm on Windows 7 64 bits).
Can you please tell me where the perspective is saved? Is it in a file under the installation folder or under my windows profile?
Thank you

Hi,
Have you tried to re-install your big data studio to see if it works? Does this issue repro on your data integration studio?
Best regards

Hi Sabrina,
I did not "install" it - I just unzipped the archive I found in the download section.

However, reinstalling actually solved the isse. Magic ^_^

Thank you for your help!

Hi
sorry to get back again on this.
After Talend installed the extra features, the Save Perspective function does not work any longer. Can you reproduce it in your new installation?

Thank you
