4. ts3Put: This is used to put a file into an S3 file system from a local system.
5. ts3Get: This component is used to retrieve a file from S3 into a local system.
6. tS3BucketCreate: This component is used to create a bucket on S3.
7. tS3BucketDelete: This component is used to delete a bucket on S3.
8. tS3BucketExist: This component is used to check whether the given bucket exists on S3. It returns the result in true or false boolean value which can be used as a global map.
9. tS3BucketList: This component is used to list all the buckets on S3.
10. tS3Copy: This component is used to copy the S3 object from one bucket to another bucket. It is similar to tFileCopy.
11. tS3Delete: This component is used to delete the S3 object from a bucket. It is similar to tFileDelete.
12. tS3Close: This component is used to close the S3 connection which is created using tS3Connection.
13. tCreateTemporaryFile: This component creates a temporary file like tFileOutputDelimited but this temporary file can either be deleted automatically after job finishes or it can be kept.
14. tFileArchive: This component is used to create a compressed file from one or more files. Encryption can also be applied in compression.
15. tFileCompare: This component is used to compare two files and returns the comparison data.

17. tFileCopy: This component is used to copy a file or folder into a target directory.
18. tFileDelete: This component is used to delete a file or folder.
19. tFileExist: This component is used to check if a file exists or not. It returns the result in true or false boolean value which can be used as globalMap.
20. tFileInputExcel: This component is used to read an Excel file based on the schema defined.
21. tMsgBox: This component is used to display a dialog box with an OK button.
22. tRowGenerator: This component is used to create any number of rows with columns having specific values or random values. It is used mostly for testing purposes and creating sample test files.
23. tIterateToFlow: It is used to transform a list of flows into the main flow which means iterate-> row->main.
24. tFlowToIterate: It is used to transform the main flow into a list of flows which means main->row->iterate.
25. tLoop: It is used to loop a particular task.
26. tReplicate: It is used to replicate the incoming schema into two output flows.
27. tRunJob: It is used to run another talend job within the current job after subjob ok.
28. tSleep: It is used to make the job execution or particular subjob pause for a given time in seconds.
29. tWaitForFile: It will look at a particular directory and will trigger the next component based on condition.
30.tMysqlBulkExec: This component is used to Offers gains in performance while executing the Insert operations on a Mysql database.
31. tMysqlClose: This component is used to close the mysql connection which is created by tMysqlConnection.
32. tMysqlRow: This component is used to run the SQL query on the MySQL database directly.
33. tMysqlTableList: This component is used to lists the names of a tables.
34. tMysqlColumnList: This component is used to iterates all columns of a table.
