ESP Connector Module: ESP Publisher

The ESP Publisher module obtains data from a transporter or formatter module and publishes it to an ESP project.

XML Element Description
Module

(Required) Element containing all information for this module. It contains a type attribute for specifying the module type.

For example, formatter.

InstanceName

Type: string

(Required) Instance name of the specific module you want to use. For example, MyInputTransporter.

Name

Type: string

(Required) Name of the module as defined in the modulesdefine.xml file. For example, <TransporterType>InputTransporter.

BufferMaxSize

Type: integer

(Advanced) Capacity of the buffer queue between this module and the next. The default value is 10240.

Parameters

(Required) Element containing the EspPublisherParameters element.

EspPublisherParameters

(Required) Element containing elements for the ESP publisher.

ProjectName

Type: string

(Required if adapter is running in standalone mode; optional if it is running in managed mode) Name of the ESP project to which the adapter is connected. For example, EspProject2.

This is the same project tag that you specify later in the adapter configuration file in the Name element within the Event Stream Processor (EspProjects) element.

If you are starting the adapter with the ESP project to which it is attached (that is, running the adapter in managed mode), you need not set this element as the adapter automatically detects the project name.

StreamName

Type: string

(Required if adapter is running in standalone mode; optional if it is running in managed mode) Name of the ESP stream to which the adapter publishes data.

If you are starting the adapter with the ESP project to which it is attached (that is, running the adapter in managed mode), you need not set this element as the adapter automatically detects the stream name.

MaxPubPoolSize

Type: positive integer

(Optional) Maximum size of the record pool. Record pooling, also referred to as block or batch publishing, allows for faster publication since there is less overall resource cost in publishing multiple records together, compared to publishing records individually.

Record pooling is disabled if this value is 1. The default value is 256.

MaxPubPoolTime

Type: positive integer

(Optional) Maximum period of time, in milliseconds, for which records are pooled before being published. If not set, pooling time is unlimited and the pooling strategy is governed by maxPubPoolSize. No default value.

UseTransactions

SafeOps

Type: boolean

(Advanced) Converts the opcodes INSERT and UPDATE to UPSERT, and converts DELETE to SAFEDELETE. The default value is false.

SkipDels

Type: boolean

(Advanced) Skips the rows with opcodes DELETE or SAFEDELETE. The default value is false.

Event Stream Processor Elements

Event Stream Processor elements configure communication between Event Stream Processor and the JMS CSV Input adapter.
