# Hotspot Itch Input Adapter Sample

## Introduction

This sample demonstrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for Hotspot ITCH.

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

- Select Hotspot Itch input adapter from the StreamBase Market Data Adapters category.

- Click OK.

StreamBase Studio creates a project for this 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 `hotspot-itch.sbapp` file.

4. Select the adapter icon to open the Properties view for the adapter.

5. Select the Connection Properties tab and enter valid values for Host Name, Port Number, User Name, User Name, and Password.

6. Select the Subscription Properties tab and observe that the adapter, by default, subscribes to market and ticker data for all currency pairs. To subscribe to one or more specific currency pair, replace `ALL` with a comma-delimited list of currency pairs, such as `EUR/USD, USD/JPY`.

7. Click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

8. In the Test/Debug Perspective, open the Output Streams view. If connectivity to your Hotspot Itch server is configured correctly, look for tuples emitted on the `Status` stream indicating the adapter has connected and logged in successfully. Look for tuples on the other output streams indicating market and tick data is flowing.

9. In the Manual Input view, select the `Subscribe` stream. Enter `false` in the `isSubscribe` field, `true` in the `isMarketData` field, and add a single element containing `ALL` in the `currencyPairs` field. Click Send Data and observe that tuples stop flowing from the `CancelledOrders`, `ModifiedOrders`, and `NewOrders` streams.

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