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 component, for example,
to avoid using production or company data.
You can access these routines by double-clicking the TalendDataGenerator node under the system routines folder in the Repository tree view.
