This sample shows how to use the TIBCO StreamBase® Decision Table operator.
The Decision Table operator evaluates a set of rules against each input tuple and emits an output tuple when a rule's conditions match the values in the input tuple.
The sample contains two StreamBase applications, each with a corresponding table in
StreamBase native (.sbdt) format. The native format
tables can also be replaced with their supplied respective tables in the Excel
(.xlsx) format. The decision-table.sbapp application uses simple condition and action
schemas and a small set of rules that illustrate the basic decision table rule
syntax. The decision-table-streambase-expressions.sbapp
application uses a more complex condition schema and set of rules that illustrate the
use of StreamBase expressions in condition and action columns.
See Using the Decision Table Operator for a description of the operator's properties.
In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top-level menu, click >.
-
Enter
decisionto narrow the list of options. -
Select Decision tables containing rules from the Data Constructs and Operators category.
-
Click .
StreamBase Studio creates a single project for the operator samples.
-
In the Project Explorer view, open the sample you just loaded.
If you see red marks on a project folder, wait a moment for the project to load its features.
If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select > from the context menu.
-
Open the
src/main/eventflow/folder.packageName -
Open the
decision-table.sbappfile and click the
button. This opens the SB
Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.
-
In the Manual Input view, select the
Inputstream, enterJane Doein theNamefield, and click . -
In the Output Streams view, observe a tuple dequeued on the
Outputstream indicating a decision table rule has fired. -
Experiment by entering other values in the
NameandAgefields, clicking , and observing the resulting output tuples. -
When done, press F9 or click the
Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
