Transporters Currently Available from SAP

The adapter toolkit provides numerous transporter modules that come standard with Event Stream Processor. You can re-use these modules to create a custom adapter instance.

Input transporters obtain data from external data sources and output this data into Event Stream Processor. The format of this output data is specified in the Output Datatype column of the table below.

AdapterRow is a container for one or more records or rows as they flow from one module (transporter, formatter, or ESP connector) to the next. You can add multiple records as objects within a List of a single AdapterRow object. The AdapterRow has a timestamp and block flags that control how its records are communicated to and from Event Stream Processor. See Envelopes and Transactions for additional details.

AepRecord is the class that represents stream records. This is the type that the ESP publisher expects as the data member in the AdapterRow instances that it receives from the previous module. This is also the type used in the AdapterRow instances that the ESP subscriber passes on to the next module.

Output transporters obtain data from Event Stream Processor and output it to external data sources. The format of this input data is specified in the Input Datatype column of the table below.

• File Input Transporter Module Parameters
  The File Input transporter reads data from local files, wraps the data with string, and sends it to the next module specified in the adapter configuration file. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• File Output Transporter Module Parameters
  The File Output transporter obtains data from the previous module specified in the adapter configuration file and writes it to local files. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• FTP Input Transporter Module Parameters
  The FTP Input transporter reads binary data from files on an FTP server, wraps it up with ByteBuffer, and sends it to the next module that is configured in the adapter configuration file. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• FTP Output Transporter Module Parameters
  The FTP Output transporter obtains data from the previous module configured in the adapter configuration file, and saves it to files on the FTP server. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• JDBC Input Transporter Module Parameters
  The JDBC Input transporter reads database records using JDBC and sends them to the next module specified in the adapter configuration file. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• JDBC Output Transporter Module Parameters
  The JDBC Output transporter obtains data from the previous module specified in the adapter configuration file and writes it into a database table using JDBC. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• JMS Input Transporter Module Parameters
  The JMS Input transporter receives JMS messages from a JMS server, and sends it to the next module that is configured in the adapter configuration file. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• JMS Output Transporter Module Parameters
  The JMS Output transport obtains data from the previous module that is configured in the adapter configuration file, wraps it up, and sends it to a JMS server. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• Socket Input Transporter Module Parameters
  The Socket Input transporter reads binary data from the socket interface, wraps it with ByteBuffer, and sends it to the next module that is configured in the adapter configuration file. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
• Socket Output Transporter Module Parameters
  The Socket Output transporter obtains data from the previous module configured in the adapter configuration file, and outputs it using the socket interface. Set values for this transporter in the adapter configuration file.
