-
Open four terminal windows on UNIX, or four StreamBase Command Prompts on Windows. In each window, navigate to the directory where the sample is installed, or to your workspace copy of the sample, as described above.
-
In window 1, type:
sbd Pattern.sbapp
The window shows
notice[StreamBaseServer] listening on port 10000
. -
In window 2: type:
sbc dequeue RelevantMarketData
No output is displayed at this point, but the dequeuer is prepared to receive output. This window will eventually show the output of the application.

In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top menu, click
→ . -
Select operator from the Data Constructs and Operators category.

StreamBase Studio creates a single project for all the operator samples.
When you load the sample into StreamBase Studio, Studio copies the sample project's files to your Studio workspace, which is normally part of your home directory, with full access rights.
Important
Load this sample in StreamBase Studio, and thereafter use the Studio workspace copy of the sample to run and test it, even when running from the command prompt.
Using the workspace copy of the sample avoids permission problems. The default workspace location for this sample is:
studio-workspace
/sample_operator
See Default Installation Directories for the default location of studio-workspace
on your system.
In the default TIBCO StreamBase installation, this sample's files are initially installed in:
streambase-install-dir
/sample/operator
See Default Installation Directories for the default location of studio-workspace
on your system.
