tMap lookups a joblet

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am an Informatica Developer that will soon migrate to talend, is there a way that we can use a joblet as lookup? or like, to have a parallel connection from a tmap and a joblet to another tmap?

f(x) = Tmap

block things = joblet

magnifier = lookup (but you can just ignore it)

Hi,

     Joblet is a piece of Talend code where you have created a specific part of your overall program. You can use it in lookup section. Please refer the example below.

But you cannot use the same joblet as lookup connection to two tMaps for same flow as it will create cyclic dependency issue. So you can get the data output of tMap to memory components (like tHashOutput) or temporary files and use it as many time as you want for lookups at different areas of the code.

I believe this approach is classy and more readable from developer's perspective 😉
