Jaspersoft ETL is a branded version of the Talend ETL product. ETL is a common requirement for BI projects. That is why we offer a branded version of Talend ETL with our product offering, giving our users this feature without requiring them to obtain 2 different licenses from 2 vendors.
Now, Added Value for Jaspersoft ETL
Jaspersoft is a great product, specifically oriented to front-end consumer users. This means that for some activities such as scheduling, for example, we give very basic support. Jaspersoft ETL could fill this gap providing a set of components to interact with your JasperReports Server instance. This is the idea behind this project.

Jaspersoft ETL Plugin
Is an easy way to ship a set of components in Jaspersoft ETL giving you a GUI interface to interact with JasperReports Server WebServices for all kind of back-end requirements.
- Interact with JasperReports Server directly in your job easily
- Just drag and drop the component you are interested in and put the jrs url, username and password. And it simply works!
- Behind the scenes a REST call is made, leveraging our great Java Rest Client.
ETL Components
- Talend ETL, similar to studio, uses a set of components in a Palette
- There is a large variety of Components for different purposes
- To build a component, it is not needed to build java code (javajet)
- There is an XML to configure the behavior of the component and the configuration you will have access to, etc..
- You can create a new component and add it on the TalendForge Commuity
Talend Plugin
Talend is Eclipse based and uses plugins to extend its capabilities. This means we can build a plugin to contain all our component to ship them easily.
Benefits of building a plugin for Talend
- Keep all your components together
- Easier to share and deliver
- Self-contained
- Easier to centralize common resources (jar,images,..)
- Advanced customizations (javajet)

Use cases
Create Organization Structure
- Create the Organization and users and roles driven by anything (a query, an XML …)
- Very useful for SoftwareAsAService application
- Manage User roles and attributes without customizing JasperReports Server security
Handle Import – Export with an ETL job
- Export your JasperReports Server repository
- for back up purpose
- for SAAS customers (usually using Multi-Tenancy feature) to clone an organization template, including canned reports, anytime they have a new customer
- This is not easy in JasperReports Server and requires the user to manually modify the export zip content in order to change the organization name
- Storing the export somewhere on an FTP server, or in the cloud (Amazon S3 as example. Talend has a specific component for that, ready to be used)
- Run automatically every night
- Sending an email at the end of process
