My first ETL job

1 min read

This quick guide will help you deploy and run your first ETL job in EAC.
It is designed as a guided walkthrough: you will upload a Talend-generated job, configure a task, and execute it.
At the end, you’ll know the basics and where to go for advanced topics.

1. Upload & Deploy the Job

Before deployment, you need a job archive generated from Talend DI / ESB / Talaxie exported as a .zip file.

  1. Log into EAC with an account that has deployment rights.
  2. Navigate to Deployment > Upload a new Job version.
  3. Select your .zip file.
  4. Check “Deploy automatically this version after upload” if you want it to be deployed immediately.
  5. Click Upload & Deploy.

After deployment, you are redirected to the Job details page, where you can view:

  • the job name
  • available job versions and date
  • the context applied by default
  • deploy errors
  • deployment folder

More details about versions → see Job Versions.

3. Create a Task for the Job

Jobs must be linked to Tasks to be executed.

At this point you must create a new task.

  1. From the job page, stay on the Versions tab.
  2. Click the “+” button to create a new task. plus button
  3. Fill in task properties:
    • Name (ex: FirstImportTask)
    • Job version (or select Follow last job version)
    • Optional: scope, parallel launch, Log warning for parallel launch attempt, acknowledgement see (good use of ack)
  4. Configure notifications (email recipients, failure only or all runs).
  5. Save the task.

🔗 For all available task configuration options → see Tasks.

4. Execute the Task

You can run your task manually or schedule it.

Manual execution

  • Once the task has been saved, the interface will refresh and display additional tabs and options.
  • Click on “Launch Task Manually”.
  • You will be redirected to the Execution Logs page, where you can monitor the execution task in real time.
  • The execution status will update dynamically (In progress→ Success / Error).
  • Detailed logs are available directly from this page for troubleshooting.

Scheduled execution

  • Go to the task setup → Cron planification tab.
  • Add a scheduler and define the frequency.
  • Don’t forget to enable scheduling.

🔗 For advanced scheduling options → see Schedule a task.

5. Monitor Execution

After a task is launched, EAC creates an Execution Task instance.
From the Executions page, go to to your task:

  • Check status: Success, Error, killed, ...
  • View logs and runtime metrics by click on the ID.

🔗 For advanced troubleshooting → see Monitoring.

6. What’s Next?

Congratulations — you have successfully deployed and executed your first ETL job!

Here are the next steps you might explore:

Organize jobs by project/context → see Good use of contexts.

Distribute executions across servers → see Multi-Server Execution.

Enable automatic log purging → see Good use of purges.
