If a Standalone Process is created in Talend Studio, it is automatically listed in the
Welcome page in Talend MDM Web UI.
Such a process is not linked to a specific entity and can be designed to do different tasks
on master data, for example adding a new record/entity in the repository, launching a Job
to do some check or transformation on master data, or launch a Job to return a specific
result in a new tab in the web interface.
Before you begin
- The MDM server is already launched.
- You have been
assigned a role with the appropriate user authorization and access rights to
Processes.
- At least one Standalone Process has been created in Talend Studio.
For more information on how to define Standalone Processes, see Processes.
About this task
To execute a Standalone Process from the web interface, complete the
following:
Procedure
-
Log in to Talend MDM Web UI to display
the Welcome page.
Example
-
In the Processes panel, click the button that
corresponds to the Standalone Process you want to execute,
LaunchJob in this example.
This
LaunchJob Standalone Process calls a Job which passes
to the Process output variable the URL of a PDF you want to display in a new tab in
the Web User Interface. You can then save or print the returned result.
Note: To be
able to run a Standalone Process that returns a result without problems as in the
example above, make sure that the configuration of your web browser is set
correctly: not to block pop-up windows and to open new windows in new
tabs.
