Building a Simple Project

Build a simple project entirely in the ESP Studio Visual editor by following the steps in linked tasks.

Prerequisites
Create the project.
Task
Some tasks are optional. The order of tasks is approximate; each project differs in detail.
Tip: Work left to right, or top to bottom, starting with the inputs and then following the data flow. This strategy allows you to copy columns and column expressions into a new query from the input streams.
  1. Adding an Adapter to a Project
    Attach an adapter by inserting it in the diagram, connecting it to a stream or window, and setting properties.
  2. Discovering a Schema
    Use the Schema Discovery button in the Visual editor to discover and (automatically) create a schema based on the format of the data from the adapter.
  3. Adding an Input Stream or Window to a Project
    Input streams and windows accept data from a source external to the project.
  4. Connecting Elements
    Connect two shapes in a diagram to create a data flow or link between them.
  5. Setting Key Columns
    Set primary keys in the Visual editor within the Column compartment of the delta stream, window, and Flex operator shapes.
  6. Editing Column Expressions for Windows, Streams, and Delta Streams
    Modify column expressions for windows, streams, and delta streams using an inline editor or dialog-based expression editor.
