Talend Talend-Core-Developer Talend Core Certified Developer Exam Exam Practice Test

To create a generic schema from a schema defined in a Talend component, follow these steps:

Open the Repository View:

In Talend Studio, navigate to the Repository panel, typically located on the left side of the interface.

Locate the 'Generic schemas' Node:

Within the Repository, expand the 'Metadata' section to find the 'Generic schemas' node.

Initiate the Generic Schema Creation Process:

Right-click on 'Generic schemas' and select 'Create generic schema' from the context menu.

Define the Schema Properties:

In the schema creation wizard that appears, provide the necessary properties such as 'Name' and 'Description' for the new generic schema.

Set Up the Schema Structure:

Define the schema structure by adding columns and specifying their data types as required.

Finalize the Schema Creation:

Click 'Finish' to complete the creation process. The new generic schema will now be available under the 'Generic schemas' node in the Repository.

This method allows you to create a reusable generic schema that can be applied across multiple components and Jobs within Talend Studio.

To design a job that can run in two contexts, Test and Production, and run it as a standalone job outside Talend Studio, you need to do the following steps:

Define the context variables and values for each context in the Contexts tab of your job. A context variable is a variable that can store a value that can be changed at runtime or between different contexts. You can use context variables to parameterize the properties or expressions of your job components.

Build the job with the desired context selected in the Build Job window. You can access this option by right-clicking on your job in the Repository tree view and selecting Build Job. This will open a dialog box where you can configure the build settings, such as destination folder, archive name, context, etc. You need to select the context that you want to use for your job execution from the drop-down menu.

Extract the content of the archive file that contains your job executable files and libraries. The archive file also contains two executable files: a batch file (.bat) for Windows platforms and a shell script (.sh) for Linux platforms. You need to run the appropriate file for your platform by double-clicking on it or using a command line tool. This will launch the job and display its output in a console window.

If you need to run the job in a different context, you need to build a separate copy of the job with the other context selected in the Build Job window. You cannot change the context of an already built job without rebuilding it.

You do not need to build the job with the Context scripts option selected in the Build Job window, edit the script according to the context in which you want to run the job, set the desired context as the default, rebuild the job if you need to run it in a different context, or be prompted for the context. These methods are not correct or available in Talend Studio and may cause errors or unexpected results. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Build Job - 7.3], [Contexts - 7.3]

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

The Talend Trust Score™ is a feature of Talend Cloud Data Inventory that provides an assessment of a dataset's reliability and quality:​

Aggregates several metrics into a single score (Option A):

The Trust Score™ combines multiple factors, including validity, completeness, popularity, discoverability, and usage, into a single, comprehensive score. This aggregation helps users quickly gauge the overall trustworthiness of a dataset.​

Scales the Trust Score from 0 to 5 (Option C):

The Trust Score™ ranges from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating better data quality and reliability. This standardized scale allows for easy comparison between datasets.​

Why not other options?

Option B:While data consumers can view and utilize the Trust Score™, it is automatically calculated by Talend based on specific metrics; users do not assign this score themselves.​

Option D:The Trust Score™ does not use a 0 to 10 scale; it specifically ranges from 0 to 5.​

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

After enabling the Observability Metric Collector in Talend's configuration file (org.talend.ipaas.rt.observability.cfg), it's essential to set additional parameters to control the behavior of metric collection:​

Frequency (Option C):Determines how often metrics are collected. Setting this ensures that data is gathered at appropriate intervals for monitoring needs.​

Lifetime (Option D):Specifies how long the collected metrics are retained. This helps manage storage and ensures that outdated metrics are purged.​

Configuring these parameters ensures that the metric collection aligns with organizational requirements for monitoring and performance analysis.​

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

The defaultREST endpoint port for tRESTRequest in Talend Studio is 8090.

Port 8090 (Correct Answer - Option D):

When running a REST service insideTalend Studio, the default listening port is8090.

This can be changed in the component settings if required.

Other port options explained:

5040 & 5070: Not default ports used for Talend REST services.

8040: Used inTalend Runtime, not in Studio.

To enable SSL for a JobServer, you need to edit the conf/TalendJobServer.properties file. A JobServer is a server application that allows you to execute jobs remotely from Talend Studio or Talend Administration Center. The conf/TalendJobServer.properties file contains various configuration parameters for your JobServer, such as port number, log level, security options, etc. To enable SSL for your JobServer, you need to set the sslparameter to true and provide the path and password of your keystore file that contains your SSL certificate.

You do not need to edit conf/TalendServer.properties, conf/server.xml, or jsl_static64.ini files. These files are not related to JobServer configuration or SSL settings. The conf/TalendServer.properties file is used to configure Talend Administration Center settings, such as database connection, LDAP authentication, email notification, etc. The conf/server.xml file is used to configure Tomcat server settings, such as connectors, realms, valves, etc. The jsl_static64.ini file is used to configure Java Service Launcher settings, such as service name, description, startup type, etc. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Configuring Talend JobServer - 7.3], [Configuring Talend Administration Center - 7.3], [Configuring Tomcat - 7.3], [Installing Java Service Launcher - 7.3]

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

When multiple Jobs require connections to the same database server but with different credentials, the recommended approach is:​

Set the Property Type to Built-in and Set All the Relevant Properties Manually (Option C):

In each tDBInput component, set the 'Property Type' to 'Built-in.'​

Manually enter the connection details, including the specific username and password required for that particular Job.​

This approach ensures that each Job uses its own set of credentials, maintaining the necessary security and access controls.​

To create an empty Joblet, you need to right-click on the Joblet Designs node in the Repository tree view and select Create Joblet option. This will open a dialog box where you can enter the name and description of your Joblet and select an icon for it. You can then design your Joblet by adding components and links to it in the Designer workspace.

You cannot create an empty Joblet by creating an empty job, then exporting it as a Joblet by right-clicking it in the Repository, creating an empty job and using the file menu to save it as Joblet, or right-clicking a space in the Designer and selecting refactor to Joblet. These methods are not available in Talend Studio and may cause errors or unexpected results. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Joblets - 7.3]

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

To calculate the overall Trust Score™ for multiple customer datasets:​

Use the search bar to filter the customer datasets, and the score will automatically update (Option B):

Filtering datasets using the search functionality aggregates the Trust Scores of the selected datasets, providing an overall score for the group.​

Why not other options?

Option A: Reviewing individual ratings does not provide an aggregated Trust Score™.​

Option C: Marking datasets does not trigger an automatic update of the aggregated score.​

Option D: Manual calculation is unnecessary as the system provides automatic aggregation upon filtering.​

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

To establish a centralized metadata connection to a database server in Talend Studio, follow these steps before constructing a Job that reads from the database:​

Create Db Connections Metadata to Describe the Database Connection (Option C):

In the Repository panel, right-click on "Metadata" and select "Create connection."​

Fill in the necessary details such as database type, host, port, database name, username, and password.​

Test the connection to ensure it is configured correctly.​

Save the connection metadata for reuse across multiple Jobs.​

Retrieve the Schemas from the Database Connection (Option E):

After creating the database connection metadata, expand it to view the available schemas.​

Retrieve the required schemas by importing the table structures.​

This step ensures that the schema definitions are centralized and can be reused in different Jobs.​

Drag the Db Connections Metadata onto the Designer to Read from the Database Component (Option D):

In the Repository, locate the previously created database connection metadata.​

Drag and drop the desired table or schema onto the Designer workspace.​

Talend Studio will automatically create the appropriate input component (e.g., tDBInput) configured with the connection and schema details.​

By following these steps, you ensure a centralized and consistent approach to managing database connections and schemas, promoting reusability and reducing configuration errors.​

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

The tRESTRequest component in Talend Studio is designed to handle RESTful web service requests. It supports the following HTTP methods:​

GET: Retrieves data from the server.​

POST: Submits data to the server, often causing a change in state or side effects.​

PUT: Replaces all current representations of the target resource with the request payload.​

PATCH: Applies partial modifications to a resource.​

DELETE: Removes the specified resource from the server.​

Therefore, the correct answer isA. GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE.​

To build a job to run outside Talend Studio that must run on both Linux and Windows, you need to select Build Job because jobs are runnable on all platforms. The Build Job option allows you to export your job as an executable file that can be run independently from Talend Studio on any platform that supports Java. You can access this option by right-clicking on your job in the Repository tree view and selecting Build Job. This will open a dialog box where you can configure the build settings, such as destination folder, archive name, context, etc.

You do not need to specify All for the Shell launcher option in the Build Job window, configure the job properties before building the job, or build one package for each platform. These methods are not necessary or available in Talend Studio and may cause errors or unexpected results. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Build Job - 7.3]

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

In Talend, when multiple components need to share the same database connection, thetDBConnectioncomponent is used.

tDBConnection (Correct Answer - Option D):

This component establishes a database connection that can bereused by multiple database components(such as tDBInput, tDBOutput, and tDBRow) within the same Job.

Reduces redundant connection creation,improving performance and efficiency.

To use it, other database components must set"Use an existing connection"in their configuration.

Why not other options?

tDBOutput (Option A):Used for writing data to a database but does not manage shared connections.

tDBRun (Option B):Used to execute a subJob but does not handle database connections.

tDBCommit (Option C):Used for committing transactions, but it requires a shared connection (which tDBConnection provides).

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

To filter records based on a specific country dynamically, the best approach isusing a tDBInput component with a context variable in the SQL query (Option A).

Step-by-Step Process:

Define a Context Variable:

In theContext Variablessection of Talend Studio, create a new variable (context.country) and set its value dynamically.

Configure tDBInput:

Drag and drop the tDBInput component onto theDesigner.

Set up thedatabase connectionusing either Built-in or Repository mode.

In theQuery field, write:

SELECT id, name, address, country FROM customers WHERE country = '" + context.country + "'

Execute the Job:

The Job will retrieveonly those records where the country column matches the value of the context variable.

The value of context.country can be modified at runtime, making the querydynamic.

Why not other options?

tMatchGroup (Option B):Used for record deduplication, not filtering.

Run if Trigger (Option C):Controls execution flow but does not filter records inside tDBInput.

tFilterColumns (Option D):Removes unwanted columns but does not filter records based on conditions.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation:

To manually pair a Remote Engine with Talend Cloud, you can set the pairing key using the following methods:​

In the Remote Engine web service page (Option B):

Access the Remote Engine's web interface, typically available at http://localhost:8043/configuration.​

Enter the pairing key obtained from the Talend Management Console.​

Click onPAIR REMOTE ENGINEto establish the connection.​

In the key configuration file of the engine (Option C):

Locate the preauthorized.key.cfg file in the Remote Engine's etc directory.​

Open the file and paste the pairing key into the remote.engine.pre.authorized.key parameter.​

Save the changes and restart the Remote Engine to apply the configuration.​

Why not other options?

Option A:Setting the pairing key in Talend Studio's preferences is not applicable for pairing a Remote Engine.​

Option D:While it's technically possible to pass the pairing key as a parameter in the engine's run script, it's not the standard or recommended method.​

To create a job consisting of two subjobs, A and B, and add a Joblet C with the intention of running it between A and B, you need to do the following steps:

Design subjob A by adding components and links to it in the Designer workspace.

Add a Start component to mark the beginning of subjob B and link it to subjob A using an OnSubjobOk trigger.

Design subjob B by adding components and links to it after the Start component in the Designer workspace.

Add a tJobletTriggerInput component to your Joblet C design and link it to other components in your Joblet using data flows or triggers.

Add a tJobletTriggerOutput component to your Joblet C design and link it to other components in your Joblet using data flows or triggers.

Drag your Joblet C from the Repository tree view to the Designer workspace between subjob A and subjob B.

Link your Joblet C to subjob A using an OnComponentOk trigger from the last component of subjob A to the tJobletTriggerInput component of your Joblet C.

Link your Joblet C to subjob B using an OnComponentOk trigger from the tJobletTriggerOutput component of your Joblet C to the Start component of subjob B.

The minimum requirements to orchestrate this are adding TRIGGER_INPUT and TRIGGER_OUTPUT components into C and linking A, B, and C using OnSubjobOk triggers. These are generic components that allow you to define triggers for your Joblet without depending on specific components. You do not need to add TRIGGER_INPUT and TRIGGER_OUTPUT components into A or B, as these are regular subjobs that can use any type of components or triggers. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [tJobletTriggerInput properties - 7.3], [tJobletTriggerOutput properties - 7.3], [Joblets - 7.3], [Triggers - 7.3]
