I tend to have a project directory where I store generated JARS (I mainly use Java Projects), supporting files, databases, data extracts etc., along with versioned exports of the project. I then backup up these project folders to S3 (via JungleDisk, which I recommend).

I’ve been considering using a source management system (either SVN, or the latest wunder-kid on the block, GIT), to better manage the process. My wish to move to a source control environment is behind my efforts to better understand the textual source of Talend projects (.item XML files) as well as the minimum necessary to safely backup a project.

Talend themselves are very likely to add better project/multi-user management tools as time goes by (probably as paid enterprise features).

Good to see another informative post from you. I have had issues with Talend messing up object names in the GUI window and such. Since I am new to Talend, first time it was hard to figure out what was going wrong. Your tips will be helpful.

Another issue I have not solved is keeping my delivered code intact. So if I deliver some packaged perl code generated from Talend, I am keeping the whole Talend directory intact and not upgrade it at all. So I will be having as many Talend directories as projects/jobs. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have just a few independent clients so far. This way, I can fire up Talend from the relevant directory and have my project 100% as I delivered it to my client. I am going to have issues if I upgrade any packages used inside PERL but that has not happened yet.

I love Talend regardless of this issue because of its code generating ability.

Keep Writing.
