Socket (As Client) XML Input Adapter

Adapter type: xml_sockout_in. The Socket (As Client) XML Input adapter receives data in Event Stream Processor format from the outgoing network adapters.

The adapter initiates a connection with an outgoing network adapter, which can then send data to the input adapter. It is possible for the data not to have the header, or for the header not to specify the field names.

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type. The type for this adapter is xml_sockout_in.

Sample record format for the data file:
<Trades Id="0" Symbol="EBAY" TradeTime="2000-05-04T12:00:00" Price="140.0" Shares="50" />
<Trades Id="1" Symbol="EBAY" TradeTime="2000-05-04T12:00:01" Price="150.0" Shares="500" />

If you specify the same properties in the project configuration file and the ATTACH ADAPTER statement, the values in the property set override the values defined in the ATTACH ADAPTER statement.

Known limitations:
  • The adapter ignores the stream name in the file rows.
  • All the data is sent to the same stream.
