Hi , in my talend job i have a url fetch component which fetches a RSS feed from a Web service , the url returns a XML , in which the delay is configurable i.e the URL(web service) returns the RSS feed after a delay which is configurable , i have configured the URL to return the XML after a delay of 3 hours from the time when the url was called . now the problem is my talend job waits for that much and gets the XML feed and then continues the execution , but the behaviour i want is that the talend component must timeout after waiting for 1 hour and must not continue to wait further , please can anyone tell me if that can be done using the URL Fetch component or in any other way .
but the behaviour i want is that the talend component must timeout after waiting for 1 hour and must not continue to wait further
There is not a component which can kill the job on the run time. The job will stop if the execution have been done, otherwise, you must kill the job manually.
Best regards
Hi all
How difficult would it be to have a 'Tenacity' parameter in such a component?
Would it be a matter of adding a countdown timer that is invoked only if the 'Tenacity' parameter is given a value? After the countdown reaches zero, the component could be forced to fail...
Just a thought.

How about writing the data returned from the tRSSInput to a text file in one job. (Call it JobA)
In another job, use a tWaitForFile that looks for the file created by the tRSSInput and set it's parameters so that it dies after 1 hour. (JobB)
Now, as to how to "kill" JobA if JobB times out...... I don't have a good answer to that. But, it seems to me if you were running the jobs in Linux/Unix if you could capture the PID of JobA, you could use a tSystem command to issue a kill on JobA (via the PID) if the tWaitForFile timed out. How you'd do that if everything runs in Windows, I'm not sure.
