Running This Sample in StreamBase Studio

  1. 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 Maven>Update Project from the context menu.

  2. Open the src/main/eventflow/packageName folder.

  3. Open the HotspotFX.sbapp file.

  4. Select the Parameters tab at the bottom of the EventFlow editor view. Change the placeholder values to your site-specific values for the Hotspot FX server, port, username, and password.

  5. Select the Editor tab.

  6. Make sure HotspotFX.sbapp is the currently active tab, then click the Run button. This opens the Test/Debug perspective and starts the module.

  7. In the Test/Debug Perspective, open the Output Streams view. Look for tuples emitted on the event streams conveying the state of the connection to the Hotspot FX server.

  8. If the connection to the Hotspot FX server is active, look for tuples emitted on the Ticker, BBOs, and MarketBook streams.

  9. In the Manual Input view, select the ControlRequest stream. Enter subscribeToHeartbeat in the action field and click Send Data.

  10. Observe that heartbeat tuples now appear in the Heartbeats stream.

  11. In the Manual Input view, select the MarketRequest stream. Enter submitOrder in the action field and appropriate values in the currpair, buySell, amount, price, orderType, and comments fields and click Send Data.

  12. Observe a tuple from the MarketResponse stream containing the ID of the submitted order.

  13. When done, press F9 or click the Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
