Managing features in Talend Studio

When installing Talend Studio, either using the installer or manually, a minimal version with some basic Data Integration features is installed. After Talend Studio installation, to use those features that are not shipped with Talend Studio by default, you need to install them through the Feature Manager.

Talend Studio features

This section provides a list of core features that are installed by default and a list of optional features that need to be installed using the Feature Manager.

Core features installed by default

Feature Description
Creating a Job The Data Integration Job editor is the workspace where you can design your Jobs.
Working with components A component is a functional element that performs a single data integration operation in a Job. Only some basic Data Integration components are installed by default.
Using contexts and variables This feature allows you to manage Jobs and Routes differently for various execution types, for example, testing and production environment.
What are routines A routine is a Java class with many functions. It is generally used to factorize code.
Introducing Talend SQL templates Talend Studio provides a range of SQL templates to simplify the most common data query and update, schema creation and modification, and data access control tasks. It also comprises a SQL editor which allows you to customize or design your own SQL templates to meet less common requirements.
Objectives The metadata wizard allows you to store reusable information on databases, files, and/or systems in the Repository tree view. The information can be reused later to set the connection parameters of the relevant input or output components and the data schema in a centralized manner.
Creating a project This feature allows you to work on remote projects stored in Git repositories.
Configuring remote execution
This feature allows you to deploy and execute your Jobs on a remote JobServer when you work on either a local project or on a remote one on the condition that you are connected with Talend Administration Center.
Connecting Talend Studio to Talend Cloud
This feature allows you to set up a connection to Talend Cloud.
Opening a remote project
This feature allows you to set up a connection to Talend Administration Center.
Publishing to Talend Cloud
This feature allows you to publish Jobs, Routes and Data Services (artifacts) created in Talend Studio to Talend Cloud and make them available to specific or all users of Talend Management Console.

Optional features installed using Feature Manager

This way, when exporting your Jobs, for example, you can pack the resource files as Job dependencies and deploy your Jobs without having to copy the files to the target system.
Shared features Talend Activity Monitoring Console User Guide Talend Activity Monitoring Console is an add-on tool integrated in Talend Studio for monitoring Talend Jobs and projects.
Shared features Testing Jobs and Services using test cases This feature allows you to create test cases to test your Jobs and Services during Continuous Integration development to make sure they will function as expected when they are actually executed to handle large datasets.
Shared features
