Hi, I have developed a process in TOS 7.3.1 which uses a tSystem component to run a .bat file stored on my computer. The .bat file launches a Putty tunnel.
In Talend 7.3.1, it has worked with no issues. The tSystem component runs the batch file, which in turn runs the Putty.exe. When the .bat file is finished it closes (using 'exit') and the Putty window stays open. Since the .bat file has finished, Talend continues processing downstream components/subjobs as expected.
However, the behavior is not the same in Talend 8.0.1. I imported the same job, but when I run it, the .bat file runs Putty.exe however Talend remains 'stuck' on the tSystem component. I have to actually close the Putty window Talend to continue processing, which is, of course, not acceptable since I need the tunnel to remain open.
I cannot stress enough - The only difference is Talend 7.3.1 and Talend 8 (and presumably the Java version under the hood, as each Talend 7.3 requires Java 8 but Talend 8 requires Java 11). Everything else on my computer has not changed. For what it's worth, I've tried a million things with no success in Talend 8. And this problem is not specific to Putty either, you could launch any .exe from the bat and Talend will NOT continue until the .exe is closed.
Is this a bug in Talend 8? Is there some other workaround? I'm absolutely stuck and this issue with backwards compatibility is a big problem.
