This sample demonstrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® Adapter for Activ Financial.
By default, the sample files are installed in:
-
On Windows:
C:\TIBCO\sb-cep\
n.m
\sample\activfeed -
On UNIX:
/opt/tibco/sb-cep/
n.m
/sample/activfeed -
On Mac:
/Applications/tibco StreamBase/
n.m.x
/sample/activfeed
When you load the sample into StreamBase Studio, Studio copies the sample project's files to your Studio workspace. TIBCO
recommends that you use the workspace copy of the sample, especially on UNIX, where you may not have write access to /opt/tibco/sb-cep
. In the default installation, the path to this sample in your Studio workspace is:
UNIX and Mac: $HOME/Documents/streambase-studio-n.m
-workspace/activfeed Windows: C:\Users\username
\Documents\StreamBase Studion.m
Workspace\ activfeed
-
Obtain/edit the
ServiceLocation.xml
file for your Activ Content Gateway (ACG) server location, and determine the username and password to access it. -
If you want to subscribe to one or more symbols when the adapter starts, add the appropriate lines to the initial subscription file,
<initial_subscriptions.csv>
. This file contains a number of example subscriptions you can use as a starting point.
-
In the Package Explorer, double-click to open the
activfeed.sbapp
application. Make sure the application is the currently active tab in the EventFlow Editor. -
Double-click the ActivFeed icon to open the StreamBase Properties view for the adapter.
-
Click the Adapter Settings tab and enter values for the
Activ ServiceLocation.xml
pathname, username, and password file path names, and edit theuid.txt
andpw.txt
files with your ActivFeed account UserID and password, respectively. Also, edit or replace theServiceLocation.xml
file with entries that you have for your ActivFeed account. (Connect to the ActivFeed server that will provide data that matches your account type.) -
Optional: Edit the
presubscribe.csv
file with symbols and relationships of interest. Refer to Activ documentation for the symbology, relationship names (typical: NONE, OPTION, FUTURE) and table names ("all" is generally sufficient). -
Click the Edit Schema tab and, optionally, change the set of fields you would like to have appear in the market data output tuples.
-
Click the
Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.
-
In the Test/Debug Perspective, open the Console view. If it is not already open: click
→ → . If the adapter connects successfully, you see a single message like the following:[notice] sbd at hostname:10000; pid=4568; Listening
-
Optional (if not using the
presubscribe.csv
file): In the Manual Input view, select the subscribe stream, and, in thesubscribe
,fill in the
command, symbol
, relationships, andtables
fields, respectively, enter subeq,MSFT.Q
,NONE
, andall
. Then click . -
In the Application Output view, observe the tuples emitted from the MarketDataOutputStream stream.
-
When done, press F9 or click the
Stop Running Application button.
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 four terminal windows on UNIX, or four 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.
-
Edit the StreamBase Server configuration file,
sbd.sbconf
, replacing the placeholder host, port, username, and password values at the bottom of the file with the actual values for your site. -
In window 1, type:
sbd -f sbd.sbconf activfeed.sbapp
If the adapter connects successfully to the CSP, you see a single message like the following:
[notice] sbd at hostname:10000; pid=4568; Listening
-
In window 2, type:
sbc dequeue MarketDataOutputStream
This window displays the tuples dequeued from the adapter's market data port.
-
In window 3, type:
sbc dequeue AdapterStatusMessages
This window displays the tuples dequeued from the adapter's status port.
-
In window 4, type:
echo subeq,MSFT.Q,OPTION,all | sbc enqueue subscribe
-
In window 2, observe the tuples emitted from the MarketDataOutputStream stream.
-
In window 4, type:
echo listsym,x,x,x | sbc enqueue subscribe
echo listrels,x,x,x | sbc enqueue subscribe
echo listtables,x,x,x | sbc enqueue subscribe
-
In window 2, observe the information tuples listing all symbols received, all relationships you can use in subscriptions, and table names that can be used.
-
In window 4, type the following command to terminate the server and dequeuers:
sbadmin shutdown
