TIBCO® Data Streams is an assembly of TIBCO software technologies in a single licensable collection, configured as an add-on for TIBCO Spotfire®, TIBCO WebFocus® , and/or TIBCO® Data Virtualization licensees. TIBCO® Data Streams is a subset of the TIBCO® Streaming package, configured for the sole purpose of serving live data to TIBCO Spotfire®, TIBCO® Data Virtualization, TIBCO WebFocus®, and/or TIBCO products containing TIBCO WebFocus® Server.
The license restrictions for TIBCO Data Streams are described on the License Considerations page.
TIBCO Data Streams includes:
- TIBCO LiveView™ Server
-
LiveView server is an application that configures incoming streaming data into published tables. TIBCO Data Streams can then connect to the LiveView server as a data source, issue a LiveQL query against a table, and present the changing query results in a variety of tabular or graphical visualizations.
- TIBCO StreamBase® Server
-
StreamBase server is the set of runtime elements for deploying a streaming data analysis application based on the TIBCO StreamBase EventFlow™ language. An instance of the StreamBase server hosts the LiveView server. This StreamBase server can be optionally configured to manage incoming data sources, transform the incoming data, preprocess it, or publish data to multiple LiveView data tables.
- TIBCO StreamBase Studio™
-
StreamBase Studio, based on the Eclipse platform, is the development environment for StreamBase LiveView and EventFlow applications. Studio allows you to:
-
Develop LiveView applications with a forms-based editor and a graphical project viewer.
-
Develop EventFlow applications with a graphical, drag and drop interface.
-
Develop configuration files that define the parameters of a deployable application.
-
Develop custom code in Java and other languages to extend EventFlow capabilities.
-
Run LiveView and EventFlow applications on your development Mac or PC.
-
Debug EventFlow applications with a step-through graphical debugger.
-
- TIBCO LiveView™ Web, Standard Edition
-
LiveView Web is a client development package that lets you create browser-based visualizations of LiveView server data. In Data Streams, the standard edition license of LiveView Web is further restricted to the sole purpose of configuring alerts for your LiveView server instances.
- TIBCO StreamBase Adapters
-
Adapters are programs that convert incoming data to the standard StreamBase format, or outgoing data from the StreamBase format to another format. Adapters can also be used to initiate a connection to, or monitor, an external data source.
A set of standard and premium adapters is packaged with TIBCO Data Streams. Standard adapters are included in your TIBCO Data Streams license. You can supplement the standard adapters with one or more TIBCO Data Streams Premium Adapter licenses.
