How to include a file in Project Resource

[Sanjay5]

Hi,

I want to include a file which i am referring in my Talend Job. 

I created a talend Routine which uses a file, I have loaded the file to routine along with jar file.

Now when i run the job in Local mode, Job is able to fetch the data from file, but when i run in job Server, It does not get the file.

help needed to resolve the issue

How to include the file in my project resources for remote run?

Hi
It does not support relative file path. You can have a shared directory (through NFS or SMB mount) to have all necessary files accessible for all servers where your job runs.

Hi Shong,

How to point my job to look for the files which are needed for Project Resource?

In other words, How my job will understand the location of the file.

Please find attached email for detailed explanation on what is the issue i am trying to resolve

You can change path to files for context variables

Spoiler

context.path_to_files+"/file_name1.csv"
context.path_to_files+"/file_name2.xls"

and etc

with implicit context loading it allow refer to different path on different servers

Thanks for the information.

I am not looking to share the files between different servers.

I want to access a file which is located in Java Project Resource folder. (Same as Eclipse)

See my attached screenshot. (File Name is vmkeys.xml)

I want to access this file when i run the job in JobServer. Not sure where should i keep the file.

This functionality exists for ESB services since we have resources there.  In DI, it doesn't.  You will need to put the file somewhere on disk on your jobserver, and read the file as the first operation of your job.

I also mean - not share file between servers, but have unique location for same file on different environment

for example - when Dev machine windows, and Prod Server Linux it is hard to have same PATH to resources

and context variables - help to resolve this

My Java code routine in the job automatically searches for the file "vmkeys.xml" in project resources folder:

I.e. C:\Talend\workspace\.Java\src\main\resources

In my local workspace file is located under below path

C:\Talend\workspace\.Java\src\main\resources\vmkeys.xml

I do not have to specifically change anything in my job to read data from this file, for local run.

Now for remote run, If i keep the file in job server in below location

/ABC/vmkeys.xml

I am not sure how i change my job to look for this file in any other location in job server:

I am not sure how to make this work, I believe in Eclipse as well files are read from "Project Resources" folder.

Any suggestions would be really helpful.

what is the problem with context variables?

no one fixed value, in properties:

and csv file on each machine:

that all
when Job start, it read OS variable, it it not NULL - take config file from there, if not from default (for me) place

Configuration could be changed without re-build the Job
