Mongo - copy collection(s) with data from source MongoDb to target MongoDb

[jvesely]

Hi,

Definitely new to Talend, so please let me know if the details I supply aren't enough.

Input:

• SourceDB name, IP, port.
• TargetDB name, IP, port
• List of collections

Ask:

• Connect to source
• For each collection in the list
  • Create collection in target DB
  • Copy all data from source to target

I guess the questions are:

1. Can this be done in Talend without having to specify the schema for each collection that has to be copied, so basically "taking the data as it comes" / dynamic schema?

2. If this can be done, is Talend even the best choice for this or would I be forcing circles into squares?

Thanks a lot,

Jan

Found a solution:

• Create Talend job to parse all the parameters
• Create a Java routine to handle to collection copying, including documents and indexes
• Let the job call the routine
