Creating a Sample Input Adapter

An overview of connecting a simple adapter for writing to Sybase CEP Server.

To create and run our demo, we use example_input_adapter.c: This file is a very basic input adapter that attaches to a stream, writes data to the stream, and then detaches from the stream.

This example may be used as a skeleton for other out-of-process adapters. This file is in:

server/sdk/c/examples

For example, on Microsoft Windows, the directory is typically

C:\Program Files\SybaseC8\Server\sdk\c\examples

On UNIX-like operating systems, the directory is typically

/home/<username>/sybasec8/server/sdk/c/examples

• Sample Input Adapter
  Describes the example input adapter, which shows how to write data to Sybase CEP Server.
• Acquiring the Address (URI) of a Stream
  Acquire the URI address of the stream in order to pass it to the function that opens a connection to the stream.
• Compiling and Linking the Example
  This section explains how to compile and link the example code on Microsoft Windows and UNIX-like operating systems. In Microsoft Windows, the example can be compiled and linked either from inside Visual Studio or from the command line. In UNIX-like operating systems, the example can be compiled and linked from within a C compiler.
• Executing the Out-of-process Input Adapter
  This section describes how to execute the out-of-process input adapter.
