Introduction

This sample demonstrates the TIBCO StreamBase® Once Input Adapter, an input adapter that starts up and sends one tuple as output.

Running this Sample in StreamBase Studio

  1. In the Package Explorer, double-click to open the Once.sbapp application. Make sure the application is the currently active tab in the EventFlow Editor.

  2. Click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.

  3. The Application Output shows the timestamp tuple that is sent on startup as output, which is similar to the following:

  4. When done, press F9 or click the Stop Running Application button.

About This Sample and Terminal Windows

The Once adapter cannot be demonstrated using terminal windows, because it sends its single tuple as soon as the application starts in StreamBase Server. By the time we might be able to start a dequeue session to see the output on OutputStream1, the single tuple event has already occurred.

  • From the top menu, click File → Load StreamBase Sample.
