UDP Multicast Mode Adapter Sample

About This Sample

This sample demonstrates the ability to both send and receive strings through the use of the Spotfire Streaming Input and Output Adapters for UDP, in multicast mode. Both the sender and receiver adapters are configured on the default Multicast Group IP and Port number. This sample contains one UDPSender and two UDPReceivers to illustrate the use of the multicast message delivery.

Running This Sample in StreamBase Studio

  1. In the Project Explorer view, open the sample you just loaded.

    If you see red marks on a project folder, wait a moment for the project to load its features.

    If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select Maven>Update Project from the context menu.

  2. Open the src/main/eventflow/packageName folder.

  3. Open the udp_multi_sample.sbapp file and click the Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

  4. In the Feed Simulations view, select input_stream_multi.sbfs and click Run.

    There will be two copies of each tuple on the Output Streams view, one from each of the receiver output streams.

    Next, try selecting the Receiver2Control input stream from the dropdown menu in the Manual Input view. Type disconnect and click Send Data. This closes the connection to the multicast group for UDPReceiver2.

    One copy of each tuple appears on the Output Streams view.

    To reconnect, select the Receiver2Control input stream and send the command connect.

  5. When done, press F9 or click the Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
