This sample demonstrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® Output Adapter for TIBCO Spotfire® Automation Services. The Spotfire Automation Services output adapter sends a Job XML payload via a SOAP 1.1 request to a specified Spotfire automation services URL. The samples require that you have a running Spotfire automation service and is accessible from StreamBase. The samples also require that you have a working Job XML file to be sent to the server. The LaunchAndStatus sample allows you to launch a job and save the inputted information for later requests of job status. The LaunchAndStatusLoop sample will launch a job and with the output tuple JobId will request the job status each second until the job is complete. The output of each sample can be passed on to downstream components for further processing.
-
In the Package Explorer, double-click to open the
LaunchAndStatus.sbapp, orLaunchAndStatusLoop.sbappexample. Make sure the application is the currently active tab in the EventFlow Editor. -
Select the Parameters tab in the EventFlow Editor and change the SpotfireURL to the base URL of your Spotfire automation services. Update the ClientId and ClientSecret parameters to the values for your spotfire connection.
-
Select the SpotfireJob component in the EventFlow Editor and copy and paste your Job XML into the Job XML field of the Adapter Properties. The samples come with some example Job XML which should be replaced with your Job XML. The example XML shows how you can use the ReplacementFields of an incoming tuple to dynamically change the XML for each request to the automation service, notice the $[ParameterFieldX] fields. The parameter fields can be any name so long as they match a sub field name of the ReplacementFields incoming tuple.
-
Click the
Run button. This opens the SB Test/Debug perspective and starts the application.
-
For the example, in the Manual Input view, click to send the default
nulltuple. You may also fill in values for each sub field of the ReplacementFields field and click to see how fields are replaced in the Job XML. -
In the Application Output view, observe tuples emitted on the
JobStatusoutput streams. For theLaunchAndStatusLoop.sbappyou will notice an initial status tuple and then a tuple each second with the job status until the job has completed on the server. For theLaunchAndStatus.sbappyou can manually input a tuple into theStatusInputinput stream to check for the current jobs status. -
Press F9 or click the
Stop Running Application button.
