talend , mongoDB connection

Question

I am facing a problem with mongo DB connection.

I have succefully imported tMongo components it to my Talend Open Studio 5.1.1 and by copying the mongo 1.3.jar file

Answer 1

I think the connection is not working. As you must be knowing, mongoDB checks that the connection is actually working or not when you perform a query on it. (Yeah, it doesn't check for a successful connection when you just connect to it ).

I would suggest to instead add the mongoDB components present in Talend for Big Data by following the steps below: Components provided for MongoDB are : tMongoDBInput, tMongoDBOutput, tMongoDBConnection etc.

1. Or you can Download the components from http://www.talendforge.org/exchange/ and search for Mongo instead of using Talend Big Data. But I would suggest use Talend for big Data for it.
2. The components will be zipped format , Unzip the same. In Talend Big data you will find the components in Component folder.
3. Copy these Unzipped Components to the installation Path of TOS. C:TalendTOS_DI-Win32-r84309V5.1.1pluginsorg.talend.designer.components.localprovider_5.1.1.r84309components
4. Copy the mongo-1.3.jar file in the component folder into the C:TalendTOS_DI-Win32-r84309-V5.1.1libjava In many systems you might not be able to see this file then go with ADMINISTRATOR priviliges.
5. optional for few systems——>>> Inside index.xml add save index.xml
6. Restart TOS

Then you will be able to use them as normal components.

Cheers!
