CSV File Writer Output Adapter Sample

About This Sample

This sample demonstrates the usage of the TIBCO StreamBase® CSV File Writer embedded adapter.

Importing This Sample into StreamBase Studio

In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:

  • From the top-level menu, click FileLoad StreamBase Sample.

  • Type csv to narrow the list of options.

  • Select CSV file output Adapter from the StreamBase Standard Adapters category.

  • Click OK.

StreamBase Studio creates a project for the sample.

Running CVSWriterTest.sbapp in StreamBase Studio

  1. In the Project Explorer, open the sample you just loaded.

  2. Open the src/main/eventflow folder.

  3. Open the package folder (most samples contain a single package folder. Open the top-level package folder if your sample contains more than one folder).

  4. Open the named application file. In the canvas, select the CSVWriter adapter named OutputAdapter1. In the Properties view, Adapter Settings tab, change File Name to point to a valid location on your machine. The sample's default file name, sample.csv, will be written to the sample project directory.

  5. Click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.

    If you see red marks, wait a moment for the project in Studio to load its features.

    If red marks do not resolve themselves in a moment, select the project and right-click MavenUpdate Project from the context menu.

  6. Select the Manual Input tab.

  7. Enter the value 10 in the File Name field and click Send Data.

  8. Press F9 or click the Stop Running Application button.

  9. The file specified in the File Name field should now contain tuples formatted as shown in this example:

    a,b,Timestamp
    10,100,2013-06-15 22:48:44.502-0400

    If you used the default output file name, navigate to your project's workspace and node folder, usually A.{system name}. If you specified another fully qualified file path, navigate to that folder in your file browser.

Sample Location

When you load the sample into StreamBase Studio, Studio copies the sample project's files to your Studio workspace, which is normally part of your home directory, with full access rights.
