There are two EventFlow modules in this sample, one basic, the other advanced.
The basic adapter sample illustrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® File Writer Adapter by taking in a tuple and writing one of its fields contents to a file.
The advanced adapter sample illustrates reading from a sample input file multiple times and writing that data back out in various compression formats.
Both samples use the system's temp folder to store the resulting output files.
In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top-level menu, select → .
-
Type
filewto narrow the list of options. -
Select File Writer output adapter from the StreamBase Standard Adapters category.
-
Click .
StreamBase Studio creates a single project containing the sample files.
-
In the Project Explorer, open the sample you just loaded.
-
Open the
src/main/eventflowfolder. -
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).
-
Open the
FileWriterBasic.sbappapplication file and 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 → from the context menu.
-
In the Manual Output view, switch the
StreamtoData, then enter a string value such astest, and then click to send a data tuple to be written to the file. Repeat for as many lines as you wish. -
In the Output Streams view, observe tuples emitted on the
Statusoutput streams indicating actions performed to the file. -
In the Manual Output view, switch the
StreamtoControl, then enterCloseinto theCommandfield, and then click to send a control tuple which will close the current file for writing. -
Press F9 or click the
Stop Running Application button.
-
This demo creates a file in your system temp folder called
SampleOut.txtcontaining the lines of data you submitted.
-
In the Project Explorer, open the sample you just loaded.
-
Open the
src/main/eventflowfolder. -
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).
-
Open the
FileWriterAdvanced.sbappapplication file and 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 → from the context menu.
-
In the Output Streams view, observe tuples emitted on the
Statusoutput streams indicating actions performed to the files. -
Press F9 or click the
Stop Running Application button.

This demo creates multiple files in your project:
-
Sample.gz- This file is a GZip compressed file created from the SampleIn.txt file. -
Sample.gz2- This file is a BZip2 compressed file created from the SampleIn.txt file. -
Sample.zip- This file is a Zip compressed file created from the SampleIn.txt file. -
SampleOut.txt- This file is a un-compressed file created from theSampleIn.txtfile.

-
This demo creates sample files in your system temp folder.
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.
Important
Load this sample in StreamBase Studio, and thereafter use the Studio workspace copy of the sample to run and test it, even when running from the command prompt.
Using the workspace copy of the sample avoids permission problems. The default workspace location for this sample is:
studio-workspace/sample_adapter_embedded_filewriterSee Default Installation Directories for the default location of studio-workspace on your system.
