Sample Location

This sample uses a Join operator to combine trades from a Reuters and the Interactive Data PlusFeed (formerly Comstock), where the stocks are the same and the price per share is greater than or equal to $1, over a period of 60 seconds. The input streams contain the fields Symbol, PricePS_R (per share), and Time.

Click Send Data, and observe that no output is displayed yet in the Application Output view.
Select the ComstockIn input stream.
Enter intc, 23.5, and 20 in the Symbol_C, PricePS_C, and Time_C fields, respectively.
Click Send Data, and observe that no output is displayed yet in the Application Output view.
Select the ReutersIn input stream.
Enter intc, 24.5, and 30 in the Symbol_R, PricePS_R, and Time_R fields, respectively.

Running Join.sbapp in Terminal Windows

This section describes how to run the sample in UNIX terminal windows or Windows command prompt windows. On Windows, be sure to use the StreamBase Command Prompt from the Start menu as described in the Test/Debug Guide, not the default command prompt.

Open three terminal windows on UNIX, or three StreamBase Command Prompts on Windows. In each window, navigate to the directory where the sample is installed, or to your workspace copy of the sample, as described above.
In window 1, enter:

sbd Join.sbapp

A message indicates that the StreamBase Server is listening and waiting for tuples.
In window 2, enter:

sbc dequeue JoinOut

No output is displayed at this point, but the dequeuer is prepared to receive output. This window will eventually show the output of the application.
In window 3, enter:

sbc enqueue ReutersIn

The sbc command is now awaiting keyboard input in window 3.
Enter these two lines, pressing Enter after each:

intc, 23.0, 10

intc, 23.5, 20

No output is displayed yet in the dequeue window.
Enter a new line:

intc, 24.5, 30

Observe this output in the dequeue window:
```
1,24.5,23.5,30
```
Enter:

amat, 34.5, 40

No further output is displayed yet in the dequeue window.
Enter:

intc, 26.5, 50

Observe this output in the dequeue window:
```
-3.5,23,26.5,10
-2,24.5,26.5,30
```
Enter:

amat, 32.5, 60

Observe this output in the dequeue window:
```
-2,32.5,34.5,60
```
Enter:

intc, 27.5, 100

No output is displayed yet in the dequeue window.
In window 2, type: Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Ctrl+D (UNIX) to exit the sbc session.
In window 3, type the following command to terminate the server and dequeuer:

sbadmin shutdown

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 the permission problems that can occur when trying to work with the initially installed location of the sample. The default workspace location for this sample is:

studio-workspace/sample_operator

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

In the default TIBCO StreamBase installation, this sample's files are initially installed in:

streambase-install-dir/sample/operator

See Default Installation Directories for the location of streambase-install-dir on your system. This location may require administrator privileges for write access, depending on your platform.
