Installation requirements

2 Talend Open Studio for Data Integration Installation and Upgrade Guide

1.1. Installation requirementsTo make the most out of Talend Open Studio products, please consider the following hardware and softwarerequirements.

1.1.1. Memory usageMemory usage heavily depends on the size and nature of your Talend projects. However, in summary, if your Jobsinclude many transformation components, you should consider upgrading the total amount of memory allocatedto your servers, based on the following recommendations.

Product Client/Server Recommended alloc. memoryStudio Client 3GB minimum, 4 GB recommended

1.1.2. Disk usageThe same requirements also apply for disk usage. It also depends on your projects but can be summarized as:Product Client/Server Required disk space

for installationRequired disk space for use

Studio Client 3GB 3+ GB

1.1.3. Environment variable configurationPrior to installing your Talend solutions, you have to set the JAVA_HOME Environment variable:

Define your JAVA_HOME environment variable so that it points to the JDK directory.

For example, if the JDK path is C:\Java\JDKx.x.x\bin, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable topoint to: C:\Java\JDKx.x.x.

It is highly recommended that the full path to the server installation directory is as short as possible and does notcontain any space character. If you already have a suitable JDK installed in a path with a space, you simply need toput quotes around the path when setting the values for the environment variable.

1.2. Studio specific prerequisitesTo use the Studio properly, you first need to install external programs specific to bulk components (if you wantto use Oracle, Sybase, Informix or Ingres bulk functionality).

On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the GDI is already installed. However, on Windows 2000, this installation isrequired. The GDI can be downloaded from Microsofts Website. For further information, visit Eclipses FAQ.

1.2.1. Installing database client software (for bulkmode)Some bulk components, like Oracle, Sybase, Informix or Ingres, require database client software to run properly:

Installing the xulrunner package (for Linux users)

Talend Open Studio for Data Integration Installation and Upgrade Guide 3

OracleBulkExec uses the sqlldr external utility. This utility is available in Oracle clients that must be installedon the computer.

Informix uses the dbload external utility.

Ingres uses the sql external utility.

Sybase uses the bcp.exe external utility. This utility is asked for in the Sybase bulk components Basic Settingsview. For more information, see tSybaseBulkExec, tSybaseOutputBulk and tSybaseOutputBulkExec componentson the appropriate Talend Components Reference Guide.

1.2.2. Installing the xulrunner package (for Linuxusers)On Linux, the xulrunner package is required to run the Studio.

To do so, follow the procedure below:

1. Install mozilla-xulrunner192 Mozilla Runtime Environment 1.9.2 from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/.

2. Add the following line at the end of the Studio .ini file that corresponds to your Linux architecture:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=

where is the xulrunner installation path.

Chapter 2. Installing Talend Open Studio forthe first timeWe strongly encourage you to read the chapter Prior to installing the Talend products before starting this chapter.

This chapter details the procedures required to install Talend Open Studio.

Downloading and installing Talend Open Studio for Data Integration


2.1. Downloading and installing Talend OpenStudio for Data IntegrationDownload

1. Get the archive file from the download section of the Talend website.

Note that the .zip file contains binaries for ALL platforms (Linux/Unix, Windows and MacOS).

2. Once the download is complete, extract the archive file on your hard drive.

It is recommended to avoid spaces and long names in the target installation directory path.

Configure the memory settings

If you want to tune the memory allocation for your JVM, you only need to edit the .ini file correspondingto your executable file. For example:

For Talend Open Studio on 32bit-Windows, edit the file: TOS_DI-win32-x86.ini;

For Talend Open Studio on Linux, edit the file: TOS_DI-linux-gtk-x86.ini.

The default values are:

-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx500m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

If you only have 512Mo of memory on your computer, you can specify the memory allocation as following,for example:

-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m

Configuring Talend Open Studio for Data Integration


If required, follow the instructions provided to join the Talend community or click Skip to open a welcomewindow and launch the Studio.

2.3. Configuring Talend Open Studio for DataIntegrationTalend Open Studio for Data Integration requires specific third-party Java libraries or database drivers (Jar files)to be installed to connect to sources and targets. Those Jar files, known as external modules, can be required bysome Talend components. However, due to license restrictions, Talend may not be able to integrate certain externalmodules within Talend Open Studio.

2.3.1. Identify Jar dependenciesOn your design workspace, if a component requires the installation of external modules before it can work properly,a red error indicator appears on the component. With your mouse pointer over the error indicator, you can see atooltip message showing which external modules are required for that component to work.

See below an example when you use the tFTPGet component in Talend Open Studio for Big Data.

In this example, as the required Jar files are provided under the LGPL license while Talend Open Studio for BigData is provided under the Apache license, these Jar files are not included in this distribution.

The Modules view lists all the modules required to use the components embedded in the Studio, including thosemissing Java libraries and drivers that you must install to get the relevant components working.

Install dependencies


If the Module is not shown under your design workspace, go to Window > Show View > Talend and then select Modulesfrom the list.

In addition to the Modules view, the Studio provides a mechanism that enables you to easily identify, downloadand install most of the required third-party modules from the Talend website and directs you to valid websitesfor the rest.

A Jar installation wizard appears when you:

drop a component from the Palette if one or more external modules required for that component to work aremissing in the Studio, or

click the Check button in a Metadata connection setup wizard in Talend Open Studio for Data Integrationif one or more external modules required for the connection are missing in the Studio, or

click the Guess schema button in the Component view of a component if one or more external modules requiredfor that component to work are missing in the Studio, or

click the button in the Modules view.

When you click this button, the wizard that appears will list all the required external modules that are not integrated inthe Studio.

This wizard lists the external modules to be installed, the licenses under which they are provided, and the URLsof the valid websites where they are downloadable, and allows you to download and install automatically all themodules available on the Talend website and download those not available on the Talend website by followingthe links provided in the Action column and then install them into your Studio manually.

When you use a component that requires an external module for which neither the Jar file nor its download URLinformation is available on the Talend website, the Jar installation wizard does not appear, but the Error Log viewwill present an error message informing you that the download URL for that module is not available. You can tryto find and download it by yourself, and then install it manually into the Studio.

To show the Error Log view on the tab system, go to Window > Show views, then expand the General node and selectError Log.

2.3.2. Install dependenciesTo install missing modules automatically, do the following:

Install dependencies


1. In the Jar installation wizard, click the Download and Install button to install a particular module, or clickthe Download and install all modules available button to install all the required modules available on theTalend website.

2. Click Accept in the [License] dialog box that appears to continue with the installation.

The [License] dialog box appears for each license under which the relevant modules are provided until that licenseis accepted.

Upon installation of the chosen external module or modules, a dialog box appears to notify you about thenumber of modules successfully installed and/or about the modules failed to install, if any.

To install manually an external module you already have in your local file system, do the following:

Talend Open Studio for Big Data does not come with the JDBC drivers for Oracle databases due to Apache licenserestrictions. For Oracle9i, the required JDBC driver downloadable from Oracle website is named ojdbc14.jar, the sameas that for Oracle 10g. To enable the JDBC driver for Oracle9i you have downloaded to work in Talend Open Studiofor Big Data, you have to change the file name to ojdbc14-9i.jar before installing it into the Studio.

1.In the Modules view, click the button at the upper right corner.

2. In the [Open] dialog box of your file system, browse to the Jar file you want to install, select it andthen click Open to install it.

3. Click Refresh in the Modules view. The component is ready for use.
