Edit the Job metadata

Metadata is key to understand what the functional role of a Job is.

About this task

In this example, you review the metadata that describes everything about the current Job and its parameters. You also assign the Dropbox icon to the Job. This information appears in Talend Management Console once the Job is published.

Procedure

  1. Open the Video_Viewers_Watch_Results_Log_Filter Job in Talend Studio.
  2. Open the Cloud Artifact tab below the design workspace.
  3. On the Main page, review the metadata that describes the Job: name, description, meta info, and icon.
    Screenshot of the Main page.
  4. On the Parameters page, select the Required? check boxes for all parameters. As a result, users who run the Job in Talend Studio will be prompted to enter values for these parameters.

    The parameters listed here are the context parameters defined in the Contexts view.

    At runtime, the user is prompted to enter the value in Talend Studio.
  5. Save the changes.
  6. Optional: Run the Job to see how you are prompted to enter parameter values.

Results

The Job scenario is packaged within the Job itself. You have clearly defined what the Job does and how it should be run in Talend Management Console.
