The methods that you can use to specify the schema in a tFileInputDelimited component are:

• Add the component then drag and drop a generic schema metadata item onto the component. This method allows you to reuse an existing schema that is stored in the Metadata section of the Repository. A generic schema is a schema that is not associated with any specific file format or connection type. You can create a generic schema by right-clicking on Generic Schema in the Repository and selecting Create Generic Schema.
• Drag a File delimited metadata item from the Repository onto the design workspace. This method allows you to create a new tFileInputDelimited component with a predefined schema that is based on a specific delimited file. A File delimited metadata item is a metadata item that contains information about a delimited file, such as its path, format, encoding, field separator, etc. You can create a File delimited metadata item by right-clicking on File delimited in the Repository and selecting Create File delimited.
• Add the component, open the Component view, select the Built-in schema type, then click the Edit schema button. This method allows you to create a custom schema for the tFileInputDelimited component within the Component view. A built-in schema is a schema that is defined locally for a specific component and cannot be reused by other components. You can edit a built-in schema by clicking on the Edit schema button in the Basic settings tab of the Component view.

The Sync columns button on the Basic settings tab of the Component view retrieves the schema from the input component connected in the Job and synchronizes it with the current component’s schema. This button is available for most of the components that have an input and an output schema, such as tJavaRow, tMap, tFileOutputDelimited, etc. However, this button does not retrieve and synchronize the output file schema with the input file schema for tFileOutputDelimited, as this component only has one output schema.

The context in which a job is run can be affected by different factors, such as the context chosen by the developer when running the job, or the tRunJob component that can influence the context in which the child job runs. The context chosen by the developer when running the job can be selected from the Basic Run tab of Run Job section in Talend Studio. This allows the developer to test the job with different sets of context variables without modifying the job design. The tRunJob component can be used to call another job as a subjob within a parent job. The tRunJob component can pass the context parameters from the parent job to the child job, or use a specific context for the child job. This allows the developer to reuse existing jobs and control their execution contexts. The tContextLoad component and the tContextDump component do not affect the context name in which a job is run, but they can affect the context values. The tContextLoad component can load context parameters from a file or a database table at runtime and overwrite the existing values. The tContextDump component can display or save the current context parameters and their values for debugging purposes. References: Talend Data Integration — Software to Connect, Access, and Transform Data | Talend, [tRunJob properties - 7.3], [tContextLoad properties - 7.3], [tContextDump properties - 7.3]

The Use or register a shared DB Connection option in Talend Studio is an option that allows you to share a single database connection between multiple components in a job or between parent and child jobs. This option can improve the performance and efficiency of your job by avoiding opening and closing multiple connections to the same database. The Use or register a shared DB Connection option is compatible with the following scenarios:

• Sharing a connection between parent and child jobs. You can use this option to pass a database connection from a parent job to a child job that is called by a tRunJob component. This way, you do not need to create a new connection in the child job, but reuse the existing one from the parent job.
• Sharing a connection between components in the same subjob. You can use this option to register a database connection in one component (such as tMysqlConnection) and use it in other components (such as tMysqlInput or tMysqlOutput) in the same subjob. This way, you do not need to configure each component with the same connection properties, but use a shared one.

The Use or register a shared DB Connection option is incompatible with the following scenarios:

• Using an independent process to run subjob option of tRunJob component. This option allows you to run a child job in a separate JVM process from the parent job. This option is not compatible with sharing a database connection, because each JVM process has its own memory space and cannot access the objects of another process.
• Using dynamic job option of tRunJob component. This option allows you to call a child job dynamically based on a context variable that contains the name of the child job. This option is not compatible with sharing a database connection, because dynamic jobs are loaded at runtime and cannot access the metadata of other jobs. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Use or register a shared DB Connection - 7.3], [tRunJob properties - 7.3]

To set up a server in your Talend environment that enables several members of your team to collaborate on a project, you need to enable two applications before working on a remote project: Git or SVN server instance and Talend Administration Center instance. These applications are used to manage version control and collaboration for your project.

Git or SVN server instance is a server application that allows you to store and track changes of your project files using a version control system. Git and SVN are two popular version control systems that are supported by Talend Studio. You need to have a Git or SVN server instance running and accessible by your team members before working on a remote project. You also need to have a Git or SVN client installed on each development workstation to connect to the server and perform version control operations.

Talend Administration Center is a web-based application that allows you to manage users, projects, tasks, execution servers, and licenses for your Talend environment. You need to have a Talend Administration Center instance running and accessible by your team members before working on a remote project. You also need to configure the team members and project settings in Talend Administration Center to grant access and permissions for your project. References: Talend Open Studio: Open-source ETL and Free Data Integration | Talend, [Version control - 7.3], [Talend Administration Center - 7.3]
