Talend Open Studio for MDM Installation Guide

Prior to installing Talend Open Studio for MDM, please read the following page: Software and Hardware Prerequisites
It is important to note that the recommendations for Talend Runtime only apply to the ESB users.

• Versions 5.X: JDK 1.6+
• Versions 4.X: JDK 1.5+
• Versions 3.2.1: only from JDK v1.6 (a library compiled in Java 6 was added in the build by mistake, this will be fixed in a subsequent maintenance release)
• JBoss application server: installed by default. Talend MDM has only been qualified on JBoss 4.2.2
• Web browsers: Microsoft IE 8+, Mozilla FireFox 3+. Safari, Opera and Chrome should work but they are not certified by Talend.

To run the Studio on Linux, the xulrunner package is required. Please install mozilla-xulrunner192 – Mozilla Runtime Environment 1.9.2.

Download the Talend MDM archive from the download section of the Talend website.

• TOS_MDM-Studio-r#####-V5.X.Y.#.zip: Studio zip, just unzip to install
• TOS_MDM-Server-r#####-V5.X.Y.#.jar: cross-platform installer (executable .jar)

The archive file contains the following files:

• TMDMCE-Studio-r####-V4.X.Y.zip: the standalone Talend MDM Studio Community Edition
• TMDMCE-Server-r####-V4.X.Y.jar: a cross-platform installer for the Talend MDM Server Community Edition.

The archive file contains the following files:

• TMDMCE-Studio-r####-V3.2.#.zip: the standalone Talend MDM Studio Community Edition
• TMDMCE-Server-r####-V3.2.#.zip: a JBoss 4.2.2 with the Talend MDM Server Community Edition predeployed

Unzip the Studio anywhere on your file system. It is recommended to avoid spaces in the target directory path. Long path names may also cause problems, especially on Windows.

The Server .jar file is a cross-platform installer. Running an executable jar depends on the OS:

• On Windows: the ”.jar” extension is usually associated with the JRE. Just double-click on the jar to execute the installer.
• On Unixes (Linux, OS X): depending on your distribution and desktop, you may execute the jar by double-clicking, or right-clicking on the jar and selecting a JDK. Otherwise, open a terminal and run through: “java -jar <installer file>.jar”

Like for the Studio, it is recommended to avoid spaces in the installation directory and to make short.

Just unzip TMDMCE-All-r####-V3.2.#.zip anywhere on your server (preferably in the shortest path possible). It is highly recommended that the full path to this directory does not contain any space character.

1. Go into the directory where you installed the server (this should be TMDMCE-Server-All-* in versions 3.2.X and TOS_MDM-Server-* in versions 5.X),
2. Execute the file: run.bat (Windows) or run.sh (Linux). In 3.2.X you may have to chmod +x it. The installer should have already done that on 4.0+.
   

Talend MDM Server is a J2EE application, it comprises numerous J2EE artifacts. Allow several minutes for JBoss to deploy the MDM Server when it starts up. Wait at least until you see the following message:

JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.2.2.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_2_GA date=200710221139)] Started in Xm:Ys:Zms

1. Go into the directory where you installed the Studio (this should be TMDMCE-Studio-All-* in versions 3.2.X and TOS_MDM-Studio-* in versions 5.X).
2. Locate the executable that corresponds to your platform: TOS_MDM-win32-x86.exe on Windows 32 bits, TOS_MDM-linux-gtk-x86 on Linux 32 bits Intel etc. Execute the file.
3. In the welcome window, select the Demo project or create your own project before loading the Studio. The “MDM” perspective should show by default.
4. Create a connection to the MDM Server as described in the Talend Open Studio for MDM Administrator Guide.

Please download the Administrator Guide from the documentation download section of the Talend website.

You need to define at least one data model and one data container in the Studio for the Web Interface to work

• Use the URL: http://localhost:8180/talendmdm/ (replace “locahost” with the actual machine name if it is not running locally)
• You may use the user/password: user / user. Other valid users are in the login-config.xml file
• You may change the current data model and container by sliding open the collapsible panel on the right

For more information about how to log onto the MDM Web User Interface, please download the Web User Interface User Guide from the User Manuals tab of the Download page.
