Hello all, in the last few months I gathered a bit of experience in creating component,s so I thought it might be useful to others to (try to) summarize what I learnt. I wrote the first part of the tutorial, you can find it here, I just went through the basic concepts so far, but indeed I may expand to more advanced ones if someone finds it useful. The page can be found here : http://www.powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_1.html Please feel free to send remarks, suggestions etc.
Hello part 5 is out here :
http://www.powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_5.html I am currently writing part 6 and planning to release it this week.
Topics covered so far :
Lesson 1 : Component basics - Templates and java output code
Lesson 2 : The three parts of a components
Lesson 3 : Component files, the XML descriptor
Lesson 4 : Working with the java jet templates
Lesson 5 : Component parameters
Lesson 6 : (Planned for release this week) Working with data connectors
Hello, part 6 of the tutorial is out, it covers the basics concepts about connectors which will be further developed in part 7 (which will focus on schema, metadata associated to connections).
Part 6 can be found here :
http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_6.html Part 7 will be released next week.
Hello, as promised, part 7 is out ( here http://powerupbi.com/talend/componentCreation_7.html ). In this lesson I guide the reader in the creation of a CSV input component. Part 8 will focus instead on output components, we will create one of them. Also, with a processing component (has both input and output) we will show how it is possible to output less records than the ones in input. I would be happy to receive some honest feedback from you so I can adjust accordingly for the next lessons.
