Adapters

Defining Adapter Parameters
You can define adapter parameters in CCL/CCX or in runtime configuration files, as well as via the Sybase CEP Studio ADL files.
Streams and Adapters
An input adapter reads data from an external data source, and puts the data into a Sybase CEP stream. The input may be read from a file, a socket, a database server, or an RSS feed.
In-process vs. Out-of-process Adapters
An adapter can run as either a separate process or as part of the Sybase CEP Server. An adapter that runs as a separate process is called an Out-of-process adapter. An adapter that runs as part of the server is called an In-process adapter.
Sybase CEP Adapters vs. User-written Adapters
Sybase CEP provides several SDKs that enable you to write an adapter.
Creating Your Own Stream Adapter: Overview
This section provides an overview of how to write your own stream adapter. You may need to write your own adapter if you have a data source that is not supported by the adapters provided by Sybase CEP.
Starting and Stopping Adapters
In-process adapters are started automatically by the server. Out-of-process adapters must be started by the user.
