How to Activate and Deactivate Components and Subjobs in Talend !!

In this post I will show you how to Activate and Deactivate a single component as well as linked components and all the subjobs because sometimes we need to run some specific subjob by disabling the remaining components or sub jobs.

This will save you development time if you are going to test anything before deploying into the production.

Below is just an example how to enable or disable the components  or sub jobs.

If you want to dectivate a single component then right click on tFileList component and select Deactivate tFileList_1 . In this way you can deactivate any component in the job .

When a component or a subjob is deactivated, you are not able to create or modify links from or to it. at At runtime, no code is generated for the deactivated component or subjob.

In this way tFileList component is disable now we want to activate the component back then right click on it and select Activate tFileList_1. Component will become active.

You can also activate or deactivate the subjobs linked to a Start component. 
Here both the component tFileList and tFileInputDelimited are deactivated now if you want to activate both the components.So right click on tFileList and select Activate all linked Subjobs.
The component linked to tFileList will become active.

Here you can see both tFileList and tFileInputDelimited become active.
Now if you want to deactivate the whole job then right click on any component and click Deactivate the current Subjob.

 It will deactivate the whole subjob as shown in the screen.

Now if you want to activate the whole subjob then right click on any component and click Activate current Subjob.

All the component of the subjob get activated.
