Summary
Understanding Talend's orchestration components is the key to being able to develop complex integration jobs. By controlling dataflows, adding logic between components or groups of components, and looping and iterating through tasks, jobs will expand from simple one-trick ponies to complete end-to-end processes, giving you, the integration developer, many more opportunities to construct robust and coherent integrations.
Chapter 8, Managing Jobs, introduces the concept of Context Variables and allows us to configure, within a single job, parameters for different environments, development, test, and production, for example.
