sbrecord

< Previous		Next >

DESCRIPTION

sbrecord records data enqueued onto all Input Streams in a running StreamBase application. For example, the sbrecord --name june28feedproc command records the data enqueued onto all Input Streams and creates several files that can be played back with the sbfeedsim command. The generated files are based on the --name parameter. Examples: june28feedproc.sbrec, which contains the recording's configuration properties (pointers to one or more *.csv generated data files, one for each Input Stream, such as june28feedproc-stream1.csv and june28feedproc-stream2.csv).

If authentication is enabled for this application, the sbrecord command requires SBUser privilege.

OPTIONS

-h command, --help command

Displays help for the specified command, then exits. For example, sbrecord -h shows a usage message for the sbrecord command.

-u URI

Sets the URI of the StreamBase Server. The default is sb://localhost:10000/. The URI can also be set using the STREAMBASE_SERVER environment variable. See the sburi page of the Reference Guide (or see sburi(5) at the UNIX shell prompt) for a discussion of the URI format and its shortcuts.

-p TCP-port

Sets the port number only for the StreamBase Server. Useful when the server is localhost and you only need to specify a non-default port, instead of specifying the full URI with the -u option. The default port is 10000.

Note

The -p option is not supported for applications that have StreamBase authentication enabled (because there is no way to specify a username and password) or in conjunction with the multiple URI syntax.

-Jjvm-option

Specifies a system property setting or other JVM argument to be passed to the JVM that runs this sbrecord command. Use this option to specify temporary settings that affect only the current invocation of sbrecord. You must specify multiple -J options to specify multiple JVM arguments.

There must be no space after the -J. For example, specify -J-Xmx2G. Use the full option syntax for jvm-option that you would use at the Java command line, including the initial hyphen. For example, specify -J-Dstreambase.log-level=2 to increase the log level for this invocation of sbrecord.

Your jvm-option argument might require surrounding quotes, depending on the characters it contains and the shell you are using. However, do not use quotes to escape the spaces between separate JVM arguments; instead use separate -J options. For example: -J-Xms512M -J-Xmx2G

--name recording-name

Required. A name used to identify the recording session. Files generated by the sbrecord command are based on the --name parameter. Examples: june28feedproc.sbrec, which contains the recording's configuration properties (pointers to one or more *.csv generated data files, one for each Input Stream, such as june28feedproc-stream1.csv and june28feedproc-stream2.csv).

--outdir file-system-path

Optional. Sets the location of recorded data. The path must exist and be writeable. Default to the current working directory.

--version

Prints version information and exits.

FILES

The sbrecord command generates a configuration file, using the value from the --name parameter, and uses the sbrec file extension. For example, the sbrecord --name marketfeed command results in a configuration file named marketfeed.sbrec, which contains pointers to one or more CSV data files (one for each Input Stream in the running StreamBase application). In this example, each CSV file would be named marketfeed-stream-name.csv. There is one configuration file (*.sbrec) for each recording.

ENVIRONMENT

STREAMBASE_SERVER: Optional. Contains the URI for a StreamBase Server instance. Use this variable to set a default StreamBase URI for certain StreamBase commands that take the -u option. For example, sbc status honors the variable, but sbc list does not. If set, commands use the URI in this variable. If this variable is set, you must use the -u option to communicate with any server other than the one specified in this variable. You can set a comma-separated list of URIs in the variable, and commands such as sbc status returns status for all listed servers. However, sbc list returns information only for the first listed server. See the sburi(5) page in the Reference Guide for more on StreamBase URIs.
STREAMBASE_RETITLE_TERMINALS: Optional. If set to any value, StreamBase programs assign a terminal window title to match the name of the executable being run. By default, terminal titles are not affected.
