Installing the Remote Engine automatically

Use the installer to automatically install and configure Talend Remote Engine.

Procedure

  1. Run the installer file as an administrator.
  2. Select the region of your Talend Cloud account.
    The region is reflected in your Talend Cloud URL following this pattern: <region>.cloud.talend.com. For example, if your URL is us.cloud.talend.com, select AWS - USA East as your region.
    More information in Accessing Talend Cloud applications with a list of the URLs to use for each data center.
  3. Paste the Remote Engine Key generated in Talend Management Console when you create the Remote Engine into the Preauthorized key box.

    Example

    Wizard step showing fields or options for configuring the Remote Engine pairing key, Java instance, and system service installation
  4. Optional: Select the Install as a system service checkbox to make Remote Engine a service of your system.

    If you skip this step, you can still install your engine as a system service later by following Setting up Remote Engine service manually.

  5. Optional: For Talend Remote Engine v2.13.9 and onwards, select the Separate Java for non Java 17 compliant job/microservices (Java 8/11) checkbox to configure a separate Java instance to execute artifacts requiring Java 8 or 11. Then in the JAVA_HOME field, enter the path to that Java instance, for example, C:\Java\jdk-11.
    The installer automatically activates the JVM adaptive mode for the engine by setting the org.talend.execution.JAVA_17_PATH property with the default Java instance for engine startup.
    • When the checkbox is selected, the installer additionally sets org.talend.execution.JAVA_8_PATH or org.talend.execution.JAVA_11_PATH in the <RE_installation>/etc/system.properties file, depending on the Java instance specified in the JAVA_HOME field.
    • If you leave this checkbox clear, the default Java 17 version is always used for executions.

    You can always change the configuration after the installation by modifying the <RE_installation>/etc/system.properties file. To do this, follow these steps.

  6. Optional: Select the Use HTTP proxy checkbox and enter the server and port details.
  7. Optional: Select the Use Proxy Authentication checkbox and enter the user credentials.

    Example

    Wizard step showing checkboxes and input fields for configuring Proxy settings, SSH access, and SSL communication for Remote Engine
  8. Optional: Select the Set strong password for default SSH user checkbox to automatically create a strong password for SSH communication with Talend Remote Engine. Otherwise, tadmin is used.

    For further information about how SSH is configured for your engine, see Changing the auto-generated default SSH password.

  9. Optional: Select the Use SSL for JobServer communication checkbox to automatically secure the communication between Talend Remote Engine and its JobServer.

    For further information about how SSL is set up for Talend Remote Engine, see Enabling SSL communication for your Remote Engine.

  10. Finish the installation by following the steps in the wizard.
