topic Custom Values are not being applied in TAC for an Execution Task in Talend Studio

Custom Values are not being applied in TAC for an Execution Task

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 04:21:29 GMT

Hi,

I have published a job from Studio to TAC. I am changing the context parameters for that job but it is taking the default value. Can someone suggest me why is this happening?

I am loading the context values through a text file in my job.

Thanks in advance!

Alekhya.

Hi Alekhya,

Since you published the job with default context group, it's always show default values to your Job Conductor Task in TAC. if you use tContextLoad component and set your context file name and path from where it load during run time then it must run without fail. Do let me know my point address your query.

Regards,

Arjun

Hi
Can you share a screenshot to show how do you load the variable value? via tContextLoad? if so, make sure the key name in text file matches the variable name.

Can i know where you are passing the custom values to the job? are you passing through context file? can you please explain your issue in detail to understand better.

Arjun

If you define context variables in both, job level and context file then Job loads context parameter values form Job Conductor Task in TAC later it override with values from the context file during execution. so let's define in only one place, either in context file or in Job context group.

Same issue here as well - I'll be opening a ticket on this.

We're upgrading to 7.2.1 and something has changed. We use the Customer Value on the Job Conductor page to override certain values. This worked fine in the past. Now that we have 7.2.1 deployed - it no longer works. I saw a similar issues with a patch we eventually removed from 6.4.1 - as the context overrides required RegEx expressions now for things like a file path. But it's even worse in 7.2.1 - as if I override any value - nothing works and the job fails. It fails on a 'File not Found' - which I'm willing to be has something to do with RegEx.

If I don't override anything - the job works great. Even if all I do is click on a custom value - and I don't change that value, so it should run -

it fails.

You've changed something with context values and overriding context values via the Custom Values in the TAC.

My situation specifically as we upgrade to 7.2.1:

The job is setup - no overrides - runs successfully:

Now I click on a "Custom Value" - but I don't even change the value, so you think it would work. Wrong. Fails every run.

Hi, In your case, It might be different reasons. can you please verify below points?
1)Were you able to see the custom value in job action execution log under Context values in TAC?
2)Is your job stand alone or wrapper job (Parent->child)? if it's wrapper job then did you enable pass whole content to child job option in tRunJob component?
3)Did you select apply context child jobs while publishing job into Artifact repository if it's Artifact task?
4)Did you try passing without quotes?
5)You should be able to identify by reviewing job execution log where exactly it's failing

Arjun

Sorry for the delayed response - we've had major issues with the Talend 7.2.1 upgrade as we actually had to perform the database migration for PostgreSQL in a windows environment as it fails every time in Linux. Now we finally have it working in QA and DEV - but if we override any context value in any TAC job - it will fail with "nulls" in all context values for the job. This is a major issue for us as we deploy and override - especially in QA - and should be able to apply a custom value.

I've opened a case with Customer Support - so I'll report back when a solution is identified.

There's a patch to fix the issue in 7.2.1 - TPS - 3445 - for the Job Server. installed the patch and custom values work again.

Hello,

We have migrated to Talend 7.2 and are facing the same issues with "null" contexts on the TAC.

If the patch resolved this issue, can you please share the download link ?

Thank you,

Sarah
