i have a big job defined in talend studio. It works well. But now I have to make another job with only some changes in prefixes in sqlrequests as destination tables.

My plan was to export the job and edit the job in my emacs editor and use the easy way to find and replace the prefix and reimport this job in talend with another name. I tried it. But talend studio shows me a dialog with invalid job message.

Is it possible in general to edit jobfiles (jobname.item and jobname.properties) utside of talend studio and reimport it? Or are there issues and mechanism in talend which prevent this way like protect jobfiles with hashes and so on?

thanks

It is possible to edit an item file, but risky.

I advise you to duplicate your big job in Talend Studio, copy the content of the item file from your big job and paste it into the new one with the correction.

  • Thanks, I tried it sometimes but no success. After my tryouts with external editor I did it with the duplicate function hand some handcrafted changes in all sql requests. Perhaps in new versions of talend studio it will be possible to do it in another way. –  Jun 14 '19 at 09:55
