Connection
- In Talend Cloud:
Connections contain all the information that you need to connect to an external
environment or system where datasets are stored, including databases, file systems,
distributed systems or platforms. Connections are reusable, so you need to define
the connection information to these systems only once.
When you need to use a custom connection, instead of any of the predefined ones, define the specific context connection parameters in Talend Studio. This allows you to share configuration settings with Talend Management Console users by allowing them to select the connection to use when running Tasks in Talend Management Console.
- In Talend Studio: Connections are used to define how the selected components are coordinated. There are various types of connections which define either the data to be processed, the data output, or the Job logical sequence.
