The TalendDataGenerator
routines are functions which allow you to generate
sets of test data. They are based on fictitious lists of first names, second names,
addresses, towns and States provided by Talend.
These routines are generally used when developing Jobs, using a
tRowGenerator, for example, to avoid using production or company
data.
To access the routines, double click on TalendDataGenerator under the system folder:
