StreamBase Authoring Guide

The topics in the Authoring Guide explain how to use TIBCO StreamBase® Studio to design and create StreamBase applications. Much of the emphasis is on working in the SB Authoring perspective using the graphical EventFlow format. Where appropriate, we also cross-reference to the StreamSQL documentation for those working in that format.
