Running the Input Adapter

Run the Reuters Marketfeed input adapter once you have configured it.

1. Ensure that esp_server is running and that the project has been loaded and started.
2. Start the adapter using the esp_rmds command.
   1. If the Event Stream Processor is running with Native OS (user name/password) authentication, start the adapter with this command:

      esp_rmds -a in -f mapfile -p cluster_host:cluster_port/workspace/project \ 
      -c username:password

      using the appropriate mapfile, cluster_host, cluster_port, workspace, and project names for the project to which the adapter will connect.
   2. If the Event Stream Processor is running with some other form of authentication, refer to Command Usage to obtain the additional arguments necessary for the command to start the adapter.
   The exact usage of the command depends on how you started your Event Stream Processor. You must invoke the adapter with compatible options. The command string shown above does not invoke encryption: you can specify it.
3. The adapter starts the subscription by first connecting to Event Stream Processor and then connecting to RMDS. Both connections must be operational for any data to flow.
   If you plan to direct the adapter's log output to stderr, as shown here, you may want to redirect stdout and stderr to a log file (for example, append >& myrmdslog & to the command line shown above).
