Talend Tips & Tricks

This post will contain Talend Tips & Tricks which saves your time while Coding, Java Converts, If Conditions, Expression Builder and many more area.

• Always do Empty string and Null handling before converting.

!Relational.ISNULL(row1.StartDate) && row1.StartDate!=""?TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", "2015-02-19"): TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd", "1999-01-01")

•  Comparing with String values always use like below.

"Umesh".equals(row1.UserName) or "Umesh".equalsIgnoreCase(row1.UserName) instead of  "Umesh"=row1.UserName or row1.UserName.equalsIgnoreCase("Umesh")

• Avoid using Short hand method or class methods for string.

Use StringHandling.TRIM(string); //for Trim

Use String.valueOf(SomeObject) instead .toString()

Use TalendDate.isDate("yyyy-MM-dd", "2015-02-19") for date validation

Use Relational.ISNULL(null) function to check whether string is null or not.

• Exclude unwanted routines from build.

Remove or add required routines to the job, because unnecessarily it will be exported with job. you can manage routines by following below steps.

1. Right Click on job from Repository.
2. Select Option “Setup routine dependencies”.
3. Now you will have new window with two tabs one for “user routines” and other one for ” System routines” by using [+] or remove button on each tab you can manage routines.
4. see the Image for more details.
