Hi Community,

Can you please help explain the usage for all global variable options we have in Talend Data Integration ? Please add/correct if I have missed any.

1. tsetglobalvar

2. tflowtoiterate

3. tjava

4. tcontextload

5. Context tab in within a job

I would GREATLY appreciate detailed clarification.

Thank you Community!

Michelle

Thank you much for the references @manodwhb. I do know where these are located, I guess I should have been more specific in my detail search.

I'm looking more for the community's help on:

Business cases uses for each - if possible - like, "I've learned that this component works great when you have the need for a hardcoded value..."
whether or not they can be used within an ENTIRE job or just within one specific subjob
whether they can be used for more than one value or multiple values
whether they can be used for lists

I don't see this kind of details in the Talend help area?
