This sample uses a Map operator to accept tuples containing fields called Stockname
, Symbol
, Description
, Volume
, and Price
. For each input tuple, a tuple containing only the fields called Symbol
, Stockname
, and Stockcost
are output. This demonstrates one use of the Map operator to reorder and drop output fields, as well as calculate new output
fields.
-
In the Package Explorer, double-click to open the
Map.sbapp
application. Make sure the application is the currently active tab in the EventFlow Editor. -
Click the
Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.
-
In the Application Output view, select the
StockOut
output stream. No output is displayed at this point, but the dequeuer is prepared to receive output. This view eventually shows the output of the application. -
In the Manual Input view, select the
StockIn
input stream -
Enter the following field values:
Field Enter this value Symbol GE Name General Electric Description Makes everything from light bulbs to airplane engines. Volume 40487000 Price 30.29 -
Click Send Data, and a tuple arrives in the Application Output view. Select the new tuple and observe this data below the output stream table:
StockName=General Electric, StockSymbol=GE, StockCost=1.22635123E9
-
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 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, type:
sbd Map.sbapp
The window shows
notice[StreamBaseServer] listening on port 10000
-
In window 2, type:
sbc deq StockOut
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, type:
sbc enq StockIn
The sbc command in window 3 now waits for keyboard input. Type:
GE, General Electric, Light bulbs to airplane engines, 40487000, 30.29
Observe this line in window 2:
General Electric, GE, 1226351230
-
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

StreamBase Studio creates a single project for the operator samples.
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 default location of studio-workspace
on your system.
