One Talend Studio for multiple developers

Hello,

 

There's several developers in my team that are connecting to a "Remote Desktop" computer, with there own user, to start Talend Studio which is installed once. As they start the studio they have to select a workspace, which is H:\Talend\Workspace where H: drive is mapped to the "user shared folder" that connect this computer. So everyone has is own workspace in the same "folder path". 

 

Our problem comes when we need to select a connection, because all connection are visible. So if I create a new remote connection to a remote TAC, I'll create it for everyone and everyone can connect with my credentials to the Studio, they can also delete or change my connection, which is not what we want.

 

So we tried to find a way to have all connection configuration in our specific drive (H:\...) instead of, I guess, in talend studio install folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Talend-Studio\studio\...?). Maybe this configuration is on the connection_user.properties file ? because in this file I see "connection.define=...", which seems to be related.

 

In any case, if there's a way to have a list of connections for each users (so stored and used in H:\) instead of having one list of connection for the whole studio, we would be really interested.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

 

I'm not sure - is official Talend forum is a proper place for asking - "How to hack Talend Licensing policy?" 🙂

 

the two main legal ways:

  • add licenses
  • start using Open Studio in addition to TAC

1st is most proper but expensive

2nd - is free but with limitations ... but cover most of the average company needs

 

You can deploy open studio Job in TAC from zip archive.

Hi,

 

I think I mis-explained the way we want to make it work. We have a license, and we have multiple users in the TAC.

We only want that when we start the studio, from the same computer, the user that is connected to this computer see ONLY his connection. (so specific connection file for each user that use the studio)

 

Hope it's clearer,

yes, it clear

 

unfortunately, afraid it still will be no solution here. 
it is an only single file (configuration/connection_user.properties) for all connections

 

as a variant - just try to overwrite it as part of the user login script, but need to test this, I not sure

Hi, 

 

Thanks for your reply, indeed there is this file but I don't know how to tell the studio to use a copy of this file in another directory. Maybe there is some parameters to add when we start the studio ? If someone from Talend know how it's working, btw we use a 6.2.1 Talend Data Services studio.

as i told - I never test it

 

as variant just save it to user profile and copy in Studio folder with user login script (talk with admins)

 

but from another side - why many developers must use shared machine? and how many of them?

for now disk space is not a trouble at all, if it stongly needed - keep several copy of studio (stupid of course, but it will work)

Eksen, did you ever solve this problem? We are trying to implement the same thing.

 

Thanks,
