# CSV File Reader Input Adapter Sample

## About This Sample

This sample demonstrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® CSV File Reader.

The provided StreamBase module reads store sales data from CSV input files and computes total sales for storeID-productID combinations. The CSV File Reader adapter instance named `ReadFile1` reads from `src/main/resources/file1.csv`, which contains sales data for storeA, while `ReadFile2` reads from `src/main/resources/file2.csv` containing sales data for storeX.

Both files contain records with missing `productID` values. `ReadFile1` is configured to process such records, inserting null values for the unspecified `productID` fields. By contrast, `ReadFile2` is configured to discard those records.

When you run the sample, look for output that shows the current total sales for each row read. Since `ReadFile2` is configured to discard incomplete records, no output is emitted for storeX with null `productID` values.

## 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 `csvr` to narrow the list of options.

- Select CSV file input adapter from the StreamBase Standard Adapters category.

- Click OK.

StreamBase Studio creates a project for the sample.

## 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 `csvreader-sample.sbapp` file and click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

4. The two CSV reader adapters start reading from their input files and sending tuples downstream. Look for total sales computed values in the Output Streams view, and watch for line rejection warnings from `ReadFile2` in the Console view.

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_csvreader

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