Scenario: Receiving data from an input flow and transmitting it for further
processing (deprecated)
This scenario applies only to a subscription-based Talend Platform solution or Talend Data Fabric.
This scenario shows how to create a Source Integration Action which reads data from
Dropbox and uses the tActionOutput component to transmit
this data for further processing.
In this example:
-
The tDropboxConnection component opens a
connection to Dropbox. -
The tDropboxGet component downloads the input
data as a flow. -
The tFlowToIterate component reads data line by
line from the input flow and stores the data entries in global variables. -
The tFileInputExcel component reads data from the
input flow which has been added in the auto-completion list (Ctrl+Space). -
The tActionOutput component transmits data to the
next step for further processing. -
The exception handling subjob, jCloudLog, enables
you to define log information, collect exception data and transfer it to the Studio
console or to
Talend Integration Cloud
web application during
execution. For further information, see Configuring logs and exceptions.
-
You have set a
Talend Integration Cloud
license in
the Studio. -
You have created a Dropbox App under the Dropbox account to be used and generated
the access token from the App console.For further information about a Dropbox App, see https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps/. For further information about
access tokens, see https://www.dropbox.com/developers/blog/94/generate-an-access-token-for-your-own-account.
