# Map Operator Sample

## About This Sample

This sample uses a Map operator to accept tuples containing fields called `Stockname`, `Symbol`, `Description`, `Volume`, and `Price`. For each input tuple, a tuple containing only the fields called `Symbol`, `Stockname`, and `Stockcost` are output. This demonstrates one use of the Map operator to reorder and drop output fields, as well as calculate new output fields.

## Importing This Sample into StreamBase Studio

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

- From the top-level menu, click File → Load StreamBase Sample.

- Enter `operator` to narrow the list of options.

- Select Operator sample group from the Data Constructs and Operators category.

- Click OK.

StreamBase Studio creates a single project for the operator samples.

## Running This Sample in StreamBase Studio

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

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

   If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select Maven → Update Project from the context menu.

2. Open the `src/main/eventflow/com.tibco.sb.sample.operator` folder.

3. Open the `Map.sbapp` file and click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

4. In the Output Streams view, select the `StockOut` output stream. No output is displayed at this point, but the dequeuer is prepared to receive output. This view eventually shows the output of the application.

5. In the Manual Input view, select the `StockIn` input stream.

6. Enter the following field values:

   Field | Enter this value
   --- | ---
   Symbol | GE
   Name | General Electric
   Description | Makes everything from light bulbs to airplane engines.
   Volume | 40487000
   Price | 30.29

7. Click Send Data, and a tuple arrives in the Output Streams view. Select the new tuple and observe this data below the output stream table:

       StockName=General Electric, StockSymbol=GE, StockCost=1.22635123E9

8. When done, press F9 or click the Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
