To reference the value of a context variable you defined, you can use the syntax context.variable_name, where variable_name is the name of the context variable. For example, if you have a context variable named path, you can reference its value by using context.path. You do not need to specify the context name (such as test or prod) or use parentheses or brackets around the variable name.Reference:Talend Data Integration --- Software to Connect, Access, and Transform Data | Talend, [Contexts - 7.3]

Using the following input file format as an example:

<OCR>Name, Phone Abraham Smith, 510-555-5555 ... Steven Doe, 613-555-5555 </OCR>

The tFileInputDelimited component parameters that you should configure to parse the input file correctly are Schema, Field separator, and Header. The Schema parameter defines the structure and type of the data in the input file. You can use a built-in schema or a repository schema to specify the columns and their properties. The Field separator parameter defines the character that separates each field in a row of data. In this case, it is a comma (,). The Header parameter defines the number of rows to be skipped at the beginning of the file. In this case, it is 1, as the first row contains the column names.

To reuse a job named testJob from a referenced project named project_ref in your main job, you need to navigate to @Referenced project, @project_ref, Job Designs, Standard, then select testJob. A referenced project is a project that can be accessed from another project in read-only mode. You can add a referenced project to your main project by using the Project Settings window in Talend Studio. You can then browse the items (such as jobs, metadata, routines, etc.) of the referenced project in the Repository tree view under the @Referenced project node. You can drag and drop any item from the referenced project to your main job design workspace.

You do not need to use import items, create standard job, or navigate to Metadata options. These options are not used to reuse jobs from referenced projects. The import items option is used to import items (such as jobs, metadata, routines, etc.) from an archive file that can be exported from another project or workspace. The create standard job option is used to create a new job with a name and a description. The Metadata node in the Repository tree view is used to store and manage metadata definitions for various data sources (such as databases, files, web services, etc.).Reference:Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Referenced projects - 7.3]

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.Reference:Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Build Job - 7.3], [Contexts - 7.3]

The tMap component allows you to perform data transformations and joins between multiple input sources and output targets. You can configure different types of joins between the main input and the lookup tables, such as inner join, left outer join, right outer join, etc. An inner join returns only the matching rows from both tables based on a join condition. If a row from the main input does not match any row from the lookup table, it is considered as an inner join reject. You can configure an output to collect these rejects by setting the Catch inner join reject option to true. If you do so, the data will flow only to that output and not to the main output. If you do not configure an output to collect the rejects, the data will be ignored and no error will be raised.Reference:Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [tMap properties - 7.3]
