Hi

By request from @carbone I'm posting this summary of how I connected to a MongoDB for extracting data.


1) Downloaded the components from TalendForge web: http://www.talendforge.org/exchange/?eid=286
   (Components are not availble through the in-app TalendForge Exchange)

2) Extracted the files and put each of the component's folders in:
   /plugins/org.talend.designer.components.localprovider_4.2.3.r67267

3) I also made a copy of mongo-1.3.jar from the component's folders an put it in:
    %TalendInstallationPath%\lib\java       (Thanks Pedro!)

4) Restart ToS.

5) Then I set up the test job with a tMongoDBConnection-component first, with
   - URL to server (within quotation marks)
   - Name of the database (within quotation marks)
   - Port (without quotation marks!)

6) Next I pulled in the tMongoDBInput-component and connected it to the Connection-component with a OnComponentOK-connection.

7) In the basic settings of tMongoDBInput-component I,
   - checked: "Use Existing Connection", and choose the tMongoDBConnection from drop list
   - entered name of the collection i wanted to query (within quotation marks)
   - Left query empty to get what ever
   - and set a limit to not get drowned with data

8) And set up the Schema (Edit Schema) of the tMongoDBInput-component, where each column is the keys of the key-value-pairs of the chosen mongodb collection.

9) Then, for testing, I connected the input component to a tLogRow, and ran it.


Cheers & good luck,
