Set up Talend

Configure access to your Talend project repository stored in GitHub or Atlassian Stash (Bitbucket Server). The Talend connector reads project metadata directly from your version-controlled repository.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, verify you have:

  • A GitHub or Atlassian Stash repository containing your Talend project files
  • Permissions to create personal access tokens on your repository host
  • Network access from Atlan to your repository host

Create personal access token​

Create a personal access token with read permissions to your Talend project repository.

  1. Log in to GitHub.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Tokens (classic).
  3. Click Generate new token > Generate new token (classic).
  4. Configure the token:
    • Note: Enter a descriptive name (for example, Atlan Talend Connector)
    • Expiration: Select an appropriate expiration period
    • Scopes: Select repo for private repositories or public_repo for public repositories
  5. Click Generate token.
  6. Copy the generated token immediately. You can't view it again after you leave the page.

Verify repository structure​

Verify your repository contains the complete Talend project structure exported from Talend Studio. The connector requires access to .item and .properties files.

Expected repository structure

├── process/
│   ├── folder1/
│   │   ├── job1_0.1.item
│   │   ├── job1_0.1.properties
