Setting up a generic schema
Talend Studio allows you to create a generic schema to use in your Jobs if none of the specific metadata wizards matches your need or if you do not have any source file to take the schema from.
You can create a generic schema:
-
from scratch. For details, see Setting up a generic schema from scratch,
-
from a schema definition XML file. For details, see Setting up a generic schema from an XML file, and
-
from the schema defined in a component. For details, see Saving a component schema as a generic schema.
To use a generic schema on a component, use either of the following methods:
-
Select Repository from the Schema drop-down list in the component Basic settings view.
Click the [...] button to open the Repository Content dialog box, select the generic schema under the Generic schemas node and click OK.
-
Select the metadata node of the generic schema from the Repository tree view and drop it onto the component. The node name depends on how you name the metadata table.
