Talend is not generating "getBytes" for data type "byte[]"

[billxu]

Hello,

Could any body please help on this?

Situation:

• Using Talend to fetch data from AS400
• There're some columns having wrong character set settings in AS400
• Fetching these columns by getString will get unreadable characters or meet a conversion fail error

What I am doing:

• Edited schema to change the type of these columns from String to byte[]
• Added auto conversion for converting byte[] to String (by calling a custom routine)
• Expecting a getBytes call will be added when assigning value of these columns.

I expect that there will be a block of code like " rs_tDBInput_1.getBytes " generated by Talend.

But Talend only generates an "if" block with an empty "else" block.

Please refer the attached screenshot.

So are there any steps I missed when doing such schema customizing?

Or how to solve this kind of code generating problem?

Best regards

Bill

Hi

I suggest you to open a jira issue on our bugtracker for R&D team to investigate it and discuss directly with developers.

Hello Shong,

Sorry for late reply.

I have created jira issue on your bugtracker.

It seems that your dev team are working on improving non-free versions only.

Hope this has already been fixed in non-free versions, and if it is possible you may consider apply fixes to free versions as well.

Anyway, I am using tJavaRow to fix this bug in my jobs. It's now not bothering me any more.

Thank you!

Best regards,

Bill

I am not familiar with JIRA permission issues, let me check with my colleagues internally.

We have changed the security level to 'None', you should be able to view it now. ;）
