Editing Bindings in Project Configuration

Configure bindings between input streams or windows in a project to output streams or windows in other projects.

Prerequisites

You must have verified that the streams or windows you want to bind have:

Compatible schema.
The same datatype for each field name.
The same column order.
The same number of columns.

Task

Projects can be bound to other projects, allowing one project's input stream or window to receive its input from the output stream or window of another project. Binding projects is similar to attaching an input adapter to an input stream or window, but is more efficient as it directly connects the output of one project to the input of the other.

Bindings can be local, within the same cluster, or can connect a project in one cluster to a project in a different cluster. Binding information is specified in CCL within the project configuration file to allow binding references to be changed at runtime, so the project can be used in multiple environments.

In the CCR Project Configuration editor, select the Bindings tab.
To add a binding, click Add.

To configure individual binding items, use the Binding Details pane on the right side of the CCR Project Configuration editor.

Field	Description
Binding name	(Optional) Apply a name to the binding.
Local stream/window	Title the binding and stream. The binding name is the name you insert into this field.
Cluster	Select the cluster to bind to. Note: You must have previously defined one or more clusters.
Workspace	Enter the workspace data (for example, ws1).
Project	Enter the project to access (for example, project1).
Remote stream	Enter the remote stream information (for example, remoteStream1).

To remove a binding, select it, and click Remove.
