Metadata is key to understand what the functional role of a Job is.
About this task
In this example, you review the metadata that describes everything about the current
Job and its parameters. You also assign the Dropbox icon to the Job. This information
appears in
Talend Management Console once the
Job is published.
Procedure
-
Open the Video_Viewers_Watch_Results_Log_Filter Job in Talend Studio.
-
Open the Cloud Artifact tab below the design
workspace.
-
On the Main page, review the metadata that describes the Job:
name, description, meta info, and icon.
-
On the Parameters page, select the
Required? check boxes for all parameters. As a result,
users who run the Job in Talend Studio
will be prompted to enter values for these parameters.
The parameters listed here are the context parameters defined in the
Contexts view.
At runtime, the user is prompted to enter the value in Talend Studio.
-
Save the changes.
- Optional:
Run the Job to see how you are prompted to enter parameter values.
Results
The Job scenario is packaged within the Job itself. You have clearly defined what the
Job does and how it should be run in Talend Management Console.
