You can set up a connection to Talend Administration Center in
Talend Studio.
Procedure
Launch Talend Studio.
In the Talend Studio login window, click Manage Connections to open the
Connections window.
In the Connections window, click the
+ button to create a new connection.
From the Repository list, select Remote
TAC.
Enter the name for the connection in the Name
field.
If needed, enter the description for the connection in the
Description field.
Enter your login credentials created in Talend Administration Center in the corresponding User name and User
password fields.
The login credential information is case sensitive.
If SSO is enabled in Talend Administration Center, you need to enter SSO username and password in the User
name and User password fields. For
more information, contact your administrator.
Specify the directory for your workspace in the
Workspace field.
You cannot use an existing local workspace for a remote
connection. If needed, you can create another folder in Talend Studio
alongside the default workspace folder.
Information noteWarning: Make sure that the
path of your workspace directory contains no space or special characters, which may
cause Talend Studio to fail to work because
of JVM compatibility issues.
Enter the URL for Talend Administration Center in the Web-app URL field.
Click Check URL to validate the connectivity.
Information noteTip:
If Talend Studio
fails to connect to the remote server, a dialog box is displayed to allow you to:
Retry connecting to the remote server.
Modify the connection timeout time to allow more retries. The value 0 means no
connection timeout.
If needed, click Cancel to close the dialog box and check your
connection details.
Optional: If you do not want to save your Talend Administration Center credentials in Talend Studio, select the Don't save TAC credentials in Studio check
box.
The next time you launch Talend Studio, you will be prompted to enter your Talend Administration Center credentials.
To import projects or project items exported from earlier versions of Talend Studio,
click Set migration token and in the pop-up dialog box, enter
your migration token.
If you do not have a migration token, contact Talend
support to request it.
If needed, click Preferences and in the
Preferences dialog box that opens, configure the
network connections, the timeout settings, or the update settings for Talend Studio.
You can now select the newly created connection from the
On connection drop-down list in the Talend Studio login
window to connect to a collaborative project.
