Before applying the patch
Before you apply the patch, bear the following in mind.
- If you download a patch to the local Nexus server, any Studio which connects to Talend Administration Center will be updated automatically even if you want to test the patch on only one Studio.
- A backup is not automatically created for the Studio before the automated patch is applied.
- As an administrator, if you want to test the patch you need to have a test environment where you download the patch and test it. If all goes well, you proceed to download the tested patch in the production environment.
Applying a patch to Talend Studio
- You have downloaded your patch to the local Nexus server.
- Open and restart Talend Studio in
Remote mode.
Talend Studio asks Talend Administration Center if there is any patch that has been downloaded to the local Nexus server and not yet applied to the Studio.
- Click the Update button.
Talend Studio applies the patch and restarts automatically.
Applying a patch to Talend CommandLine
- You have downloaded your patch to the local Nexus server.
- Use the following startup script to start Talend CommandLine in
interactive mode:
Talend-Studio-win-x86_64.exe -nosplash -application org.talend.commandline.CommandLine -consoleLog -data commandline-workspace startServer -p 8002 --talendDebug
- Run the following two commands to apply the patch:
initRemote {tac_url} -ul {TAC login username} –up {TAC login password}
For example:
initRemote http://localhost:8080/org.talend.administrator/ -ul admin@company.com –up admin
checkAndUpdate -tu {TAC login username} -tup {TAC login password}
For example:
