# Pattern Operator Sample

## About This Guide

This sample uses a Pattern operator to pass in only market data for securities that have already been traded. The MarketData input stream contains the fields `symbol`, `price`, and `time`. The TradeData input stream has the same fields plus a `shares` field.

This topic describes `Pattern.sbapp`, the Pattern operator sample application.

## 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 all 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 `Pattern.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 RelevantMarketData output stream.

5. In the Manual Input view, select the MarketData input stream.

6. Enter `GOOG`, `10` and `1` in the symbol, price, and time fields, respectively.

7. Click Send Data, and observe that no data appears on the RelevantMarketData stream, as there have been no trades in GOOG.

8. In the Manual Input view, select the TradeData input stream.

9. Enter `GOOG`, `10`, `20`, and `2` in the symbol, price, shares, and time fields, respectively.

10. In the Manual Input view, reselect the MarketData input stream.

11. Change the values of price and time to `11` and `3`, respectively.

12. Click Send Data, and observe that this data shows up on the output stream.

13. Reselect the TradeData input stream.

14. Change the values of symbol and time to `YHOO` and `4`, respectively, and click Send Data.

15. Reselect the MarketData input stream.

16. Change the value of time to `5` and click Send Data. Notice that this information still shows up on the output stream.

17. Change the value of symbol and time to `YHOO` and `6`, respectively.

18. Click Send Data, and observe that this data shows up on the output stream.

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