Hi Stone,

these two functionalities are only available in the subscription offering Talend Data Quality. See http://www.talend.com/products-data-qua … uality.php
Please contact "info(at)talend.com" for more information.

Hi mickeyd,

Talend Open Profiler is fully open source (GPL license) and you don't have to pay for it.
You may check out the sources at http://talendforge.org/svn/top/ and some libraries dependencies at http://talendforge.org/svn/tos/ or simply browse them at http://www.talendforge.org/trac/top/

Now the printing functionality is not part of Talend Open Profiler, but you can still write your own if you don't want to subscribe to our extended offerings because you have access to the sources.
The printing  functionality is part of larger application (Talend Data Quality) which stores every analysis in a database in order to monitoring data quality. These functionalities are not free (and are not part of Talend Open Profiler).

Please, contact sales@talend.com

Like for Talend Open Studio, you'll need the enterprise edition to benefit the collaborative features.

About the impossibility to use snagit to capture the page, it's not intended.
You may report a bug issue and we'll work on it to fix it.

I've also tried TOP, quickly discovered this sad feature and deleted the tool. I think it discourages from using talends solutions in general because You never know what surprising limitations the open source versions might have.

No they are saying that without print or save features, even as open source, TOP does not meet their needs:

you cannot pass the information to anyone else even in an intermediate format - this destroys almost all the value of the product

Without these features the product is not useful and cannot be used like TOS-- there is no way to "try before you buy" because everything is limited to a single session and a single client.

Providing the save and export features in TOP would allow people to use TOP in enterprise work. Without this feature, TOP is so limited that it is not a viable product. TDQ is viable, but you've got to pay-- and there is no way of investigating that viability without doing so first.

We all understand that Talend needs to provide incentives to upgrade to TDQ; but in my opinion adding the DQ portal, the shared repository, and Talend Administrator is more than enough to convince business to commit if they plan on rolling out any large implementation of TDQ.

Relax the save and export restrictions and I think you will see a larger adoption of TOP across the community.

thanks for the clarification.
We'll have internal discussions about this topic this year... 

Stay tuned.

I am going to have to agree with this entire thread. I just ran a column analysis that took 4.5 hrs and now I have no way to save the results. I had been bragging about the tool to co-workers but at this point, I am looking at uninstalling it. I will consider its use as well as other talend products in the future if you see fit to add Print/Save feature to the 'OS' product. The tool is of no use to me if I cannot share findings that it generates.

I am posting NOT to flame the fires of "the lack of Saving and Printing in Talend Open Profiler" discussion.  I have a proposal.  I know that an unrestricted Save/Print capability to not realistic.  The tool could be downloaded and used to access many enterprise databases, generate the results and the exercise is done.  The data at this point would provide a significant business benefit.  Talend would receive nothing for their efforts.  Which they should given their investment.

Talend please consider the following alternative or something like it.  Add a stand alone the Save/Print capability to Open Profiler.  It would allow the user to do a full analysis on all tables/schemas but only Save/Print a very limited view. 

For example, the user could run Open Profiler against a corporation's entire EDW.  Allow all the results to be displayed on the screen (current functionality.)  However, limit Save/Print to one table from one schema.  In this scenario the full potential of the product is clearly demonstrated without a complete analysis being captured with Save/Print capability.

Talend Corp. I implore you to act quickly.  You opened the door with the "Free Download"/"Free Proflier" advertisement verbiage on your web site and other marketing materials.  The current situation is just staining your good name and the potential sales of the rest of your wonderful product suite.  I work with IT and business buyers and influencers of ETL/MDM/Etc. products.  This one thing (Save/Print) almost always poisons the well for you.

after one year , Talend did not add print and save functions
i dont recomand this tool to people for the simple reason that it's useless if we cant show the result of analysis to others
i deleted talend from my pc and my mind and recomand people if they have to pay for something , there are much more powerfull tools
