Generating a Job created with a Job creation API using the CommandLine

About this task

Warning: This feature has been removed from Talend Administration Center 8.0 onwards. For more information, see Talend CommandLine API in Talend Studio User Guide.

Talend offers you the possibility to create a data integration process without any user interface. You can write a script describing the properties of all the elements of your process: components, connections, contexts, etc. in a jobscript file and generate the corresponding job via the CommandLine.

To do so:

Procedure

Launch your CommandLine. For more information on how to launch the CommandLine, see Operating modes.
Connect to your repository with the initLocal or initRemote commands. Example:
```
initRemote http://localhost:8080/org.talend.administrator -ul admin@company.com -up admin
```
The parameter values are given as examples and need to be replaced with your actual information (port, credentials). For more information on how to use these commands, see the help provided in the CommandLine.
Connect to your project and branch/tag with the logonProject command. If you do not know the name of your project or branch/tag, type in the listProject -b command first. Example:
```
logonProject -pn di_project -ul admin@company.com -up admin -br branches/v1.0.0
```
The parameter values are given as examples and need to be replaced with your actual information (project/branch/tag name, credentials). For more information on how to use this command, see the help provided in the CommandLine.
Type in the following command to generate a Job from your Job script:
```
createJob NameOfJob -sf path\yourJobscript.jobscript
```
The Job is created in your CommandLine workspace in the process folder: commandline-workspace\YourProjectName\process.

If you want to open this Job in Talend Studio, you will have to import it in the Talend Studio workspace first.

For more information on how to import items in Talend Studio, see the Talend Studio User Guide.

The creation of job scripts and the generation of its corresponding Job design can also be done from Talend Studio which provides a user-friendly Job script API Editor. For more information on Job script creation, see the Talend Studio User Guide.
