Connectivity Wizard

The Connectivity Wizard in StreamBase Studio is a convenient utility to quickly stand up a LiveView server application for the purpose of streaming live data to Spotfire from certain known, working data sources. These are:

  • Apache Kafka

  • JMS or TIBCO EMS

  • MQTT – MQ Telemetry Support

  • TIBCO Cloud Messaging (TCM)

  • StreamBase Feed Simulation

For the wizard to be useful, you must have access to a stream of data published over one of these data streams. You must have the URL for a server based on one of these technologies, or must have connection information for a JMS or TIBCO EMS bus, and you must have valid login credentials for that server or bus. Also, there must be active data flow on the stream in order for the wizard to automatically discover the data schema. If there is no data to inspect when using the wizard, then the data schema must be defined manually. In general, you must have basic understanding of your data source, including knowing what published topic you want to use. For more information about the wizard and its capabilities, see LiveView Connectivity Wizard.

The previous information describes a wizard available from StreamBase Studio. Since version 11.1, for simple use cases that do not require the full extensibility of EventFlow, consider the Data Streams for Cloud feature. For user guides and installation details of Data Streams for Cloud, unzip SB_HOME/sdk/cloud-ds/streaming-addon-dist-1.3.0.zip. The zip comes along with the Streaming Installer package which is downloaded from TIBCO distribution site.
