MacOS worth the risk?

[amba1]

(sorry for posting here, it's the only space where I do not get an error message when creating a post).

Hello,

I'm using Windows 10 at the moment with Talend Open Studio for Data Intregration V7.3.1. (not the enterprise version)

I would like to upgrade to the new MacBook Pro M1 Pro with macOS Monterey. 

I have no possibility to test the compatibility, and according to Talend, the OS is not officially supported for 7.3.1. (Doesn't mean it's not working).

I don't mind migrating my jobs to Talend 8, but I need to know it works.

Has anyone tried and could share his thoughts? Thank you!

I'm using Talend 8 with this spec machine. The only thing you need to worry about is the version of Java you are using. Have a read here....

Now, about posting here. Can you explain the issue you have posting elsewhere?

Hey @Richard Hall​ 

When I try to create a post, a pop-up appears saying “Failed to create Post. Please try again!!”.

After trying everywhere on the forum, I figured out that it has something to do with the content of my post. I replaced all my text with “test” and created the post and modified it afterwards. I have also read about other people having that issue, here, for instance: https://community.talend.com/s/question/0D53p000083EqVXCA0/can-not-create-post?language=en_US

Regarding the MacBook Pro M1 Pro withMonterey, that's awesome! I thought I would need the intel chip or the enterprise version. Thank you.

For the moment it is important that you write your posts directly into the post window and do not use another product like Word and paste the content into the post window. This is down to a limitation in the HTML that is supported by the product that we are using. We are looking to this.

Regarding the M1 chip, I should have said that you will need the correct version of Java (described in the doc I linked to) and you will need to use the "aarch64" executable package to run Talend. You *can* use a standard version of Java and the standard executable package, but that will run through a translation layer and it is slower.

Thank you. Is there some sort of guide on how to configure all of that? Doesn't seem like something "easy" to do.

Also, if I export my projects on windows, can I just reimport them on mac?

Thank you.

You can export from Windows and import to Mac with no issues. With regard to setting everything up for Java, that document should tell you all you need to know. To run Talend, it is just a case of using the correct executable. So on an ESB version I have here, I have these two executables....

TOS_ESB-macosx-cocoa

TOS_ESB-macosx-cocoa-aarch64

Now, I am using the standard version of Java at the moment (not specific to M1 processors). My Mac handles the translation. There is nothing for me to do there. All I do is use the TOS_ESB-macosx-cocoa executable. If I were to use the version of Java built for M1 processors (which would be quicker), I would use the TOS_ESB-macosx-cocoa-aarch64 executable.

Thank you – ESB would be enterprise and is not free.

I'm just using the open source version... But I guess it comes up to the same?

They work in exactly the same way. FYI there is an Open Source ESB version as well. You can find it on SourceForge....

I am using macos as well and it works well. Formally Talend studio had some issue on macos but it is solved since the latest 7-er version.

Most important, use Java 11 and not later!

UPDATE!!!

I bought the 16-inch M1 Pro with Ventura 13.1, and I'm running Talend effortlessly with Java 11 Temurin downloaded from here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/archive.html?variant=openjdk11&jvmVariant=hotspot

I had to try 15 java versions before making it, but I hope this might help someone out here!
