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.
Key Tasks: Conversion and Communication
Adapters perform two key tasks: conversion and communication. Adapters convert data from sensors or embedded systems, convert data read from or written to database servers, read log files, and so on.
Conversion
Your adapter must convert between the data format(s) appropriate for your application and the representation of rows as defined by the SDK you are using.
Communication
Adapters communicate by sending data to or reading data from a stream.
