Creating contexts for your different environments
For your Job to be usable in differents situations, you will create two distincts
contexts.
Talend Studio allows you to create a set of
variables that you can regroup in a context. In this example, you will create a context
called Development and another one called
Production. Each of these contexts will contain the variables to
be used for the tDataprepRun configuration, according to the
target environment.
-
Click the Contexts tab of your
Job.
-
Click the + button on the top right of the variables
table to create a new context. -
Select the Default context and click
Edit… to rename it
Development. -
Click New… to create a new context called
Production. -
Click the + button on the bottom left of the variables
table to create a new variable called
parameter_URL.The
parameter_prefix is mandatory, in order for the
variable to be retrievable in Talend Integration Cloud, if you use the Cloud
version of Talend Data Preparation. -
On the newly created URL line, enter the URLs of your
development and production instances of Talend Data Preparation in the corresponding
columns. -
Repeat the last two steps in order to create the
parameter_USERNAME and
parameter_PASSWORD variables, that will store your
Talend Data Preparation credentials depending
on the environment.
These two different contexts will be available at execution time, when deploying your
Job.
