Custom joblet for error logging

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am new to talend , and want to have some joblet which can be dropped and removed from job whenever user want it .Error logging joblet should be able to catch all types of logs (info,error ,fatal ,execption in a single log file ) in a job execution and then that joblet logs/output should be written to a log file say jobname.log.

Can anyone provide any inputs for the same that how these design can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Use a tLogCatcher in joblet to capture the Java error, and then link it to tMap where you can add/remove column, customize the column values, finally, write the logs to a file.
tLogCatcher--main--tMap--tFileOutputDelimited
