Binary File Reader and Writer Adapter Sample

In the Package Explorer view, double-click myfile.csv to see the CSV records that will be converted to binary.

Double-click to open the sample application, binaryrw.sbapp.

Click the Run button. This opens the Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.

In the Manual Input view, select the DoWrite input stream and press Send Data.

Look for tuples emitted on the BinaryDataWritten output stream and observe they contain the values from myfile.csv.

Select the DoRead input stream and press Send Data.

Look for tuples emitted on the BinaryDataRead output stream and observe they contain the values from myfile.csv.

When done, press F9 or click the Stop Running Application button.

Open three terminal windows on UNIX, or three StreamBase Command Prompt s on Windows. In each window, navigate to your workspace copy of the sample, as described above.

In window 1, type:

sbd binaryrw.sbapp

In window 2, type:

sbc dequeue -v

This window will display the tuples dequeued from the adapter's output port.

In window 3, type the following command to cause the sample application to write the CSV file contents to a binary file:

echo null | sbc enqueue DoWrite

Observe in window 2 that tuples are emitted from the BinaryDataWritten stream.

In window 3, type the following command to cause the sample application to read the read and display the contents of the binary file:

echo null | sbc enqueue DoRead

Observe in window 2 that tuples are emitted from the BinaryDataRead stream.

In window 3, type the following command to terminate the server and dequeuer:

sbadmin shutdown
