Adapters Guide

Click here for the list of adapters available to use with StreamBase or LiveView.

Adapters are programs that convert data to and from the StreamBase tuple protocol. You can use adapters to:

  • Convert data from real-time sources such as financial market data feeds or an IoT device.

  • Convert data from an external resource such as a CSV file or database table.

  • Convert processed StreamBase tuples into the format used by an external resource, such as an XML file.

Current TIBCO Enterprise Streaming and TIBCO Streaming adapters are embedded, which means they run in the same TIBCO Streaming server process that hosts and processes your EventFlow or LiveView fragment. Embedded adapters start and stop automatically with the node that hosts your fragment.

  • TIBCO Streaming adapters are considered either Standard or Premium adapters. Standard adapters are licensed as part of your Streaming license, while Premium adapters require separate licensing. This subject is discussed on the License Considerations page.

  • TIBCO Enterprise Streaming adapters are considered either Standard, Enterprise Streaming Premium adapters or Enterprise Streaming - FIX adapters. All Adapters are licensed as part of your TIBCO Enterprise Streaming license. ​​To use the Enterprise Streaming - FIX Adapters, licensing of the TIBCO Enterprise Streaming - High-Performance FIX Engine is required. This subject is discussed on the License Considerations for TIBCO® Enterprise Streaming page.
