Introduction

Sybase® Event Stream Processor supplies an extensive set of input and output adapters that you can use to subscribe to and publish data, including external process adapters. Event Stream Processor also provides several SDKs that enable you to write an adapter.

• Input and Output Adapters
  Input and output adapters enable Event Stream Processor to send and receive messages from dynamic and static external sources and destinations.
• Internal and External Adapters
  An adapter that runs as part of the Server is called an internal adapter. An adapter that runs as a separate process is called an external adapter.
• Custom Adapters
  In addition to the adapters provided by Event Stream Processor, you can write your own adapters to integrate into the Server. You can design adapters to handle a variety of external requirements that the standard adapters cannot manage.
• Working with Adapters
  Pre-planning and configuration steps to consider when using Event Stream Processor-supplied and custom adapters.
• Datatypes
  Sybase Event Stream Processor supports integer, float, string, money, long, and timestamp datatypes for all of its components.
