Downloaded component doesn't appear in palette

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I tried as many research as possible to avoid asking a question that was already answered. 

I am using Talend for Data Integration 7.1.1.20181026_1147 and trying to add a custom component that I downloaded here: https://exchange.talend.com/#marketplaceproductoverview:marketplace=marketplace%252F1&p=marketplace%...

I followed this procedure to install the component: https://help.talend.com/reader/ZPQP8werSqVqJEBzSFsDkQ/IezVqj82QqzNfApv7VXS5g

However, the component doesn't seem to show up in the palette.

I already tried several things: 

- Changing the folder

- Restarting several times Talend

- Changing the family in the property file of the component to be sure it doesn't appear in the palette

Would someone have a solution for this? 

Regards,

Hi AdrienDNX,

The component you wish to use is only supported up to v5.2 by look of it. This could be a reason for it not working.

Can I ask what you are trying to do? Are you wanting to use this component to connect to a db via ssh by any chance? If so, you may want to look at this solution https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Connecting-to-a-mysql-database-via-SSH/td-p/1...

Hi AdrienDNX,
I have tried to install this component on studio 7.1.1 version and it appears in palette, extract the zip file to current folder and then copy the component folder to the user custom folder which will be specified in studio-->preference-->component-->user custom folder parameter.
Please note the directory structure:
user custom folder/tSshTunnel/
tSshTunnel_begin.javajet
...other component files

Hello Richard, 

Indeed I am trying to connect to a db via ssh. I checked the solution you mentionned, but unfortunatly I still don't manage to have the connection working. 

I installed OpenSSH and I am able to connect to the database from my command prompt with the following steps: 

- path\ssh.exe -L 1234:localhost:22 ssh_user@ssh_host

- Entered the ssh password

- mysql -u sql_user -h sql_host -p

- Entered the sql password

At this point the connection was working and I was able to write queries. 

I created a tSystem component like this: 

"cmd"

"path\ssh.exe -L 1234:localhost:22 ssh_user@ssh_host"

But it doesn't seem to work... 

The problem might come from the password that I am nowhere asked to enter in Talend but I enter it in the cmd

I tried to be as clear as possible, many thanks for your help,

Best
