Setting up the user library location

About this task

Some specific third-party Java libraries or database drivers (.jar files), known as external modules, can be required by Talend components or by connection wizards. Due to license restrictions, Qlik may not be able to ship certain external modules within Talend Studio, but you can download, install, and store them in a shared repository. Nexus is delivered with the Talend Administration Center archive file.

Note that, if you are working in collaborative mode and you do not fill these parameters, the external libraries that you have downloaded at Talend Studio start-up will not be shared. Additionally, if you migrate to a more recent version of Talend Administration Center, those required libraries will not be backed up.

Users with Designer role need to have the corresponding Configuration visualization right selected on the Rights management page to have access to user libraries configuration. For more information, see Managing rights associated with roles.
