# WITS Adapter Samples

## About the Sample

In this sample, the TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for WITS works to read data from a serial comm port based on the WITS data standard.

A running WITS serial comm must be available for these samples to run against.

A standard WITS dictionary file is included with the sample, which will be able to parse the standard 1–25 record types from the WITS Specification. If the system you are connecting to requires non-standard parsing, please see the WITS adapter documentation on how to create or modify the dictionary to handle those.

## Samples Setup

Before running the samples, open the supplied `fragment.conf` and edit your applicable parameters for your WITS comm port and dictionary.

## Importing This Sample into StreamBase Studio

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

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

- Enter ``wits`` to narrow the list of samples.

- Select WITS from the Petroleum Industry Adapters category.

- Click OK.

StreamBase Studio creates a single project containing the sample files.

## 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/`packageName`` folder.

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

4. In the Output Streams view, look for the status and data tuples for the selected operation.

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

## 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.

### 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_wits

See Default Installation Directories for the default location of `studio-workspace` on your system.
