Event Pattern Matching

Event pattern matching occurs when a CCL application detects or matches event patterns

In the previous tutorials you worked with Query statements that took input rows and manipulated the contents of those rows to produce output rows. A different goal for a Sybase CEP application can be to recognize when rows arrive in a specific sequence or pattern. For example, frequent repeated connection attempts from the same IP address may indicate a network security issue. A product passing the RFID sensors at a manufacturing facility in the wrong order may be the result of a process failure. Under certain circumstances, brokers placing a stock order for themselves just before placing an order for their customer may be illegal. This tutorial uses the last example to demonstrate how to write a CCL application to detect or match event patterns.
