multiple implicit context loads from multiple files

[n999]

Hi

When you open a project you can set the project level implicit context load to read from a single file.

I was wondering if you can be more fine grained than this if you want to keep context values in different files. 

Project level implicit context load only allows you to load from one file.

I was wondering how implicit context load works when you have reference projects.

Can you specify implicit context load in each reference project with different file paths in each reference project?

So reference project1 implicit context loads from file1 and reference project2 implicit context loads from file2.

Then the parent project could reference both reference projects and implicitly load context variables from both files?

Does Talend support this?

Is there another way of using multiple files?

thanks

Multiple file read for Context load is possible. Actually it is a clever way to prevent having one file and the problems this causes.

Please check out the component tContextInput: https://github.com/jlolling/talendcomp_tContextInput

Here the documentation: https://github.com/jlolling/talendcomp_tContextInput/blob/master/doc/tContextInput.pdf

You can define in the most flexible way how to read the context properties files and use linked context files and and course fully capable to decrypt passwords.
