The ATOM feed reader enables you to get information from ATOM data sources. ATOM data sources enable connections through URL and send their information in a special XML format.
The retrieved information will be inserted into a Sybase CEP stream. The incoming XML information must include:
feed_title
feed_link
feed_author_name
entry_title
entry_link
entry_content
If additional fields exist in the XML file, they are ignored.
The following table describes the properties for the ATOM feed reader:
|
