Hi,
So far, there is no a specific component for converting abinitio graph in talend.
Have you tried to write a Java routine making use of an existing Java API?

Best regards

Sabrina

its not conversion from abinitio.
My question is to create a Talend job to be generic with parameters defined and used by different LOBS and different environment (DEV,QA, PROD)

Hi Powell, you need to give more details and be more specific as to what you want. One of Talend's main strengths is that it can be highly parameterised. From the details you have given I can tell you that the filenames (input and output) can be made dynamic by using context variables. These can be driven by flat files, environment variables, a database, etc. However you want these to be set, it can be done. You just need to know how (or ask a specific question regarding that).

What sort of filters are you intending to use? Are you wanting to remove rows based on column values? Are the columns known at design time?.....there are a whole lot of other filtering questions I could ask here. You will need to give us details.
