Talend - Cannot import jobs Error

Sometimes, when you login into a project, you might not be able to import jobs to a project. The import option is completely grayed out in the "Project" Menu or the context menu of Jobs. This happens if you are not authorized as a user in the project on TAC. To solve this problem, request your Talend Administrator to authorize you as a user of this project.

Login into TAC.
Under Settings Menu ---> Choose Project Authorization --> Add a user to the project that you need IMPORT permissions on. You could drag-and-drop the users to a project on this page.

Happy Talending!

Talend Migration from 4.X to 5.X

Recently, we started working on Talend Migration from 4.X to 5.X. One biggest surprise we encountered was, the Talend migration of jobs happens automatically without a message for confirmation.

Something in lines of "The migration is about to start. Do you want to proceed, Yes/No"

This means that if you opened a Talend 4.X job in TIS/TOS 5.X studio, the job is automatically migrated to 5.X. Since, we had an unplanned/accidental migration, we had to revert the code back to 4.X in sub-version. But we had several issues when reverting the code back. This post is to share our experiences about the migration.

Cannot find Talend.Project error. Classic error!! If you look in your subversion, you would see the talend.project file but the studio complains that it cannot find it. We still do not know which one action solved this error but doing the following helped us resolve the error.

1. Release all the locks in Talend using TAC.
2. Make sure that the project url to subversion is reachable.
3. Make sure that the account used to add a project in subversion has sub-version access privileges to the project.
4. Make sure that the project references has the authorization set up properly.
5. Make sure that the subversion url is valid and the credentials are good.
6. Make sure each user in the TAC has an svn login configured.

Cannot give a detailed screenshots for this exercise but let me know if you run into a similar issue during migration. Would be happy to help!

Error - Talend.Project doesn't exist

Happy Talending!
