AtomReader Input Adapter

Adapter type: atomreader_in. The AtomReader Input adapter allows you to receive information from ATOM datasources.

ATOM datasources enable connections through URLs and transmit their information in a specialized XML format. Information the adapter receives from an ATOM datasource is inserted into an Event Stream Processor stream.

Ensure that incoming XML information includes:
  • feed_title
  • feed_link
  • feed_author_name
  • entry_title
  • entry_link
  • entry_content
Note: The adapter ignores any additional fields in the XML file.

If you are not already familiar with the specific XML format ATOM uses, see: http://www.atomenabled.org/

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type.
