Talend community forum / TOS with Rational ClearQuest

Hi,
I'm Gildas, i'm a student in computing and management, and i'm now working on a internship project to develop an interface between external Rational ClearQuest applications and the internal Rational ClearQuest one of the company (n-to-1 architecture).

To develop a solution for this project we chosed Talend to manage all the routing, integration, and data loading layer. My problem is that, for some security policy reasons, i will not be able to access directly to these ClearQuest databases, but i know for sure that i will be able to use the ClearQuest Perl API to avoid this restriction. Then, my questions are if Talend has any component to make this access possible through this API? or if not, if it could be possible to use Talend with data sources comming from external Perl programs (through objects like RecordSet for example), and if yes, with witch components in my projects and how from general point of view?

Thanks for your help,

regards,

Gildas

Hi Gildas,

Talend currently has no ClearQuest component. My advise is to create these components :-) You have the Perl API, you "just" have to implement it into some components and then you can use your components in your jobs. If you're interested in creating some ClearQuest components, be sure we will help you as much as possible!

Thanks for the link, i've been seeing this oister so many times^^

Ok, i've nothing against developping components, actually, i'm very interested on it, but the thing is, where do i have to start? can i take one that already exists with that kind of case (or a similar one) just to see how it works? can you guide me, at least for the begenning? and by the way, is it long to develop (for somebody who just discovered Talend two weeks ago)?

Also, from a right and license point of view, under which license it's going to be? (i mean, stuff of copyleft and so on, if it has to be provided to the free community, probably i'll have to have a little chat with my boss). Of course i could do it during my free time but i don't have any rational license at home ^^...

Thanks a lot for your fast answer,

Regards,

Gildas

Glad to read that!

[wiki] component_creation is the starting point for component development.

I can hardly answer this question by myself :-) I'm at the opposite of this situation!

Talend Open Studio is under GPL. It doesn't mean that any component you develop must be given to Talend (but it would be very kind from you). If you decide to share the component with the Talend Community (thanks to Talend Exchange, then you can decide to give the Intellectual Property (IP) to Talend or not. If you give the IP to Talend, then we can integrate the component as a standard component, if the component has enough value for users.

By the way, I move this topic to the "Component creation" section of the forum.

Ok, i'm going to have a look on that, i'll inform you through that topic if i have anymore questions, i still have a lot of work concerning the study of the ClearQuest API, for the moment i only got an overview.

Thanks a lot, i'll keep in touch,

Have a nice day,

Gildas

CQ XML interface is available in http://code.google.com/p/cqxmlintf/updates/list It wraps perl APi with xml
