How to share a custom component in Talend Studio

This article explains how to share the custom component tFileOutputPDF in Talend Studio.

Then, you will create a Job with the custom component, open the Job in another Talend Studio instance and check that the custom component has been installed automatically and the Job opened without warnings or errors.

Note that you can develop custom components using the Talend Component Kit framework and share them on Talend community. For more information, see Developing a component using Talend Component Kit.

When working on a remote project, if a Talend Studio has custom components installed and in use in one or more Jobs, other Talend Studio instances connecting to the same remote project must also have the same custom components installed.

This is necessary to ensure that the Jobs can be opened properly. Without the necessary custom components, you will receive a warning message "Some components are not loaded" when you open a Job using a custom component that has not been installed on the system you are using to open the Job.

Talend Studio provides the ability to automatically install custom components. If you install custom components and share them in Talend Studio manually, subsequent connections to the same remote project by other Talend Studio instances will automatically detect and install custom components.
