Atom Feed Input Adapter

Adapter type: atomreader_in. The Atom Feed Input adapter allows you to receive information from ATOM datasources. This adapter uses strftime() formatting codes.

ATOM datasources enable connections through URLs and transmit their information in a specialized XML format. Information the adapter receives from an ATOM datasource is inserted into the Event Stream Processor stream.

Note The Atom Feed Input Adapter does not support connections to proxy servers. If you attempt establishing a connection to a proxy server, an error message will appear.

Ensure that incoming XML information includes:

feed_title
feed_link
feed_author_name
entry_title
entry_link
entry_content

Note The adapter ignores any additional fields in the XML file.

If you use the CCL ATTACH ADAPTER statement to attach an adapter, you must supply the adapter type.

Property Label	Description
Source URL	Property ID: URL Type: `string` (Required) The URL of the ATOM datasource. SSL protocol is not supported. The Atom Feed Input adapter only accepts URLs with the http:// prefix; not https://. URLs equal to, or less than, 99 characters are accepted.
Refresh Interval	Property ID: refreshInterval Type: `interval` (Optional) Determines how often the specified URL is queried for data. The adapter measures the interval in microseconds unless qualified with interval formatting. Default value is 60000 milliseconds.
MsDate Format	Property ID: msdateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) The format string for parsing msdate values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
SecondDate Format	Property ID: seconddateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) The format string for parsing seconddate values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
PropertySet	Property ID: propertyset Type: `string` (Advanced) Specifies the name of the property set. Property sets are reusable sets of properties that are stored in the project configuration file. Using these sets allows you to move adapter configuration properties out of the CCL file and into the CCR file. If you specify the same properties in the project configuration file and the ATTACH ADAPTER statement, the values in the property set override the values defined in the ATTACH ADAPTER statement. No default value.
