Defining the connection to the Azure Storage account to be used in the Studio
Define the connection metadata to Azure Storage in the
Repository of the Studio.
Before you begin
You have an Azure account with appropriate rights and permissions to the
Azure Storage.
The Azure Storage account to be used has been properly created and you have the
appropriate permissions to access it. For further information about Azure
Storage, see Azure Storage tutorials from Azure
documentation.
You are using one of the Talend solutions with Big Data.
Click All services on the menu bar on the left
of the Azure welcome page.
Click Storage accounts in the
STORAGE section.
Click the storage account to be used.
On the list that is displayed, click Access keys
to open the corresponding blade.
Copy and keep the key that is displayed somewhere appropriate so as to
use it in the steps to come.
In the Integration perspective
of the Studio, expand the Metadata node in the
Repository, right click the Azure
Storage node and from the contextual menu, select
Create an Azure Storage Connection to open the
wizard.
Complete the fields in the wizard:
Name
Enter the name you want to use for this connection to be defined.
Account Name
Enter the name of the Azure Storage account to be connected
to.
Account Key
Enter the access key you got in the previous steps.
Click Test connection to verify the configuration. Once
a message pops up to say that the connection is successful, the
Next button is activated.
Click Next to access the list of containers available on
Azure under this Azure Storage account.
This list is empty if this Azure Storage account does not contain any
containers.
Select the container to connect to and click Next or
just click Next to skip this step. You can revise this
step anytime later by coming back to this wizard.
Do the same to the query list and the table list that are respectively
displayed in the wizard.
Click Finish to validate the creation. The connection
appears under the Azure Storage node in the
Repository.

account.
