Talend Open Profiler installation guide

Prerequisites

On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, the GDI is already installed. However, on Windows 2000, this installation is required. The GDI can be downloaded from Microsoft website. For further information, visit Eclipse’s FAQ.

:!: On some Linux distributions, the xulrunner package is required for the Welcome page to display properly.

Installing the Java Virtual Machine 1.5+

Installing the JVM on Windows

To run Talend Open Profiler, you need to install first a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) version 1.5 (or 1.6).

To make sure your JVM is properly installed, launch the command line. On Windows, click on Start, then click Run and in the dialog box, type in cmd.

On the command prompt window, type in: java –version. This command will provide you with the JVM version installed on your station.

Installing the JVM on Linux

To run Talend Open Profiler, you need to install first a Sun JVM (Java Virtual Machine) version 1.5+.

To make sure your JVM is properly installed, launch the command line. On the command prompt window, type in: java -version. This command will provide you with the JVM version installed on your station.

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

If your JVM version is not 1.5 or if no Sun JVM is installed, follow the instruction of your distribution or see the http://java.sun.com web site to upgrade or install it.

Download and install

Get the archive file from the download section of Talend website. Once the download is complete, extract files from archive on your hard drive.

If you run Talend Open Profiler on an Unix-like system, add execution right on the desired “TalendOpenProfiler-*” binary. On a standard Linux box, the command is:

$ chmod +x TalendOpenProfiler-linux-gtk-x86
$ ./TalendOpenProfiler-linux-gtk-x86

You can tune the memory allocation for your JVM, you only need to edit the .ini file corresponding to your executable file. For example:

  • For TalendOpenProfiler on Windows, edit the file TalendOpenProfiler.ini,
  • For TalendOpenProfiler on Linux, change the file: TalendOpenProfiler-linux-XXX.ini.

The default values are:

 -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx500m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m 

if you only have 512Mo of memory on your computer

For example, specify : -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m.
