Returning output filename to Python as a string

[Joe_S_]

Hello everyone,

I have a Talend process that gets called from Python. The process takes a payload file and transforms the data into a different format. I need to return the output file name to the original Python script so it can then deliver the file via email or SFTP. The only return value I can get Talend to return is the exit code. I can print the value to the console screen easy enough, but the Python developer is requesting that my Talend job actually return the value using the return method. Has anyone done something similar? I feel like I am over complicating this, it sounds like it should be easy enough.

Hi

The talend job only returns the exit code, you can see the code as below in the generated code.

int exitCode = J1Class.runJobInTOS(args);

System.exit(exitCode);

You can store the value in an application such as DB, FTP, file etc in the job, then, read the value back in Python script.
