ASN file in Talend

[Soumya_M]

Can we read asn file in talend just like excel or .csv ? if not a direct component to read is there a alternate way to read It ?

Hello,

In Talend, there is no direct component specifically designed to read ASN (Abstract Syntax Notation) files like you would read Excel or CSV files. However, there are alternative ways to read ASN files in Talend.

One approach is to use a custom Java code within Talend to parse and read the contents of the ASN file. You can create a custom component or use the tJava component to write Java code that handles the parsing logic for the ASN file. This approach allows you to leverage Java libraries or custom code to extract the required data from the ASN file.

Another option is to convert the ASN file to a different format that can be easily read by Talend, such as CSV or XML. There are external tools or libraries available that can help you convert ASN files to these formats. Once the ASN file is converted, you can use Talend's built-in components for reading CSV or XML files to process the data.

Remember that the approach you choose may depend on the structure and complexity of the ASN file, as well as the specific requirements of your data integration workflow in Talend.

I hope this helps you.

Hello

ASN.1 is really specific use case. We still are tracking demand for this type of connector.

You could do using esb routes but sometime need external or custom library to unmarshel the binary files.

Data mapper can be option but when complex records comes in asn 1.0 not sure how easy it is to us.

Please have a look at this sample esb but PS might have more concrete and implemented one.

Best regards

Hi @Xiaodi Shi​, thank you for your response. It would be helpful if you brief about the components used in the above talend job
