The application XXX is a legacy application that daily produces an important and different stacks stack of logs.
Each log is a positional file, where information is ordered by column, each column having the same size and separed by a _tabulation_ character.
Each log is a positional file, where information is ordered by column of a determined length.
Due to recent hardware failures, it was decided these logs should be backed up periodically and in a more robust way.
In addition, a new application upgrade is planned, which consists in using a new monitoring console with this application.
Eventually, the Information System Manager wants to set up additional (BPEL) processes, which will have to interact with the existing application.
Eventually, the Information System Manager wants to set up additional (BPEL) processes, which Among these interactions, these processes may have to backup these logs in case of emergency situations.
Hence, for a long-term storage, and in order to make the application events visible in this new monitoring console, it was decided the main information from these logs would have to be archived every 3 days in a data center. This data center will be accessed by the monitoring console to display the events the user queries. The log storage will also act as a safety measure in case where other hardware failures would occur.
...
Besides, it was proposed that the execution schedule would be defined in Petals.
Thus, with this solution, the logs are copied in a temporary directory, loaded, filtered and written to a database through a Talend job.
The loaded logs are then moved into a backup directory. This way, one log file is processed only once before being archived.

This Talend job is exposed as a service into Petals, using the *Petals-SE-Talend* component. This way, it can be called by any Petals service, including a BPEL process.
And it can also be scheduled to be executed on a regular basis, every day in this case.
And it can also be scheduled to be executed on a regular basis, every day in this case.
The execution schedule is handled by the *Petals-SE-Quartz* component.
Every 3 days, at the same time, it will send a message to the Talend job, so that the log transfer is made.

...h2. Creating the job
The job is made up of three six Talend components:
* The first sub-job copies all the log files into a temporary directory.
* ** The *tFileList* components gets all the \*.log files from the directory

...{noformat}
* For every found log file (_iterate_ connection), the *tFileInputPositional* component loads its content.
* The *tMysqlOutput* component receives the content from a log file and sends it into the table *logs* from the *logstorage* database.
* The *tMysqlOutput* component receives the content from a log file and sends it into the table *logs* from the *logstorage* database.
** The log file is copied into a temporary directory using a *tFileCopy* component. The original file is deleted.
* If the first sub-job worked fine, the second sub-job is run.
** A second *tFileList* components gets all the logs file from the temporary directory.
** For every found log file (_iterate_ connection), the *tFileInputPositional* component loads its content.
** The *tMysqlOutput* component receives the content from a log file and sends it into the table *logs* from the *logstorage* database.
** Eventually, a second *tFileCopy* is in charge of copying the log into the backup directory. The original file is deleted.
