Socket (As Client) XML Input Adapter

Adapter type: xml_sockout_in. The Socket (As Client) XML Input adapter receives data in Event Stream Processor format from the outgoing network adapters.

The adapter initiates a connection with an outgoing network adapter, which can then send data to the input adapter. It is possible for the data not to have the header, or for the header not to specify the field names.

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

Sample record format for the data file:

<Trades Id="0" Symbol="EBAY" TradeTime="2000-05-04T12:00:00" Price="140.0" Shares="50" />
<Trades Id="1" Symbol="EBAY" TradeTime="2000-05-04T12:00:01" Price="150.0" Shares="500" />

Property Label	Description
Server	Property ID: host Type: `string` (Required) The server host name. Default value is localhost.
Port	Property ID: port Type: `int` (Required) Server port. If port is set to -1, the adapter reads from the Ephemeral Port File. Default value is 12345.
Match Stream Name	Property ID: matchStreamName Type: `boolean` (Optional) Ignores messages if the XML element name does not match the source stream name. Default value is false.
Ephemeral Port File	Property ID: epFile Type: `filename` (Advanced) The file that contains the server port number, if port is set to -1. Default value is false.
Retry period (seconds)	Property ID: retryperiod Type: `uint` (Advanced) Indicates the time period for attempting to re-establish an outgoing connection, in seconds. Default value is 1.
Enter Initial State	Property ID: initial Type: `choice` (Advanced) Indicates when the adapter enters the initial loading state. Default value is never.
Convert to Safe Opcodes	Property ID: safeOps Type: `boolean` (Advanced) Converts the opcodes INSERT and UPDATE to UPSERT, and DELETE to SAFEDELETE. Default value is false.
Skip Deletes	Property ID: skipDels Type: `boolean` (Advanced) Skips the rows with opcodes DELETE or SAFEDELETE. Default value is false.
SecondDate Format	Property ID: seconddateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) Format string for parsing seconddate values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
MsDate Format	Property ID: msdateFormat Type: `string` (Advanced) Format string for parsing msdate values. Default value is %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.
Block Size	Property ID: blockSize Type: `int` (Advanced) Determines the number of records in each block. Applies to transaction and envelope modes. Default value is 1.
Field Mapping	Property ID: permutation Type: `permutation` Mapping between ESP and external fields. Format is the stream column name equals the database column name to which you are mapping. Multiple mappings are separated by a colon. For example, <stream_columnname>=<database_columnname>:<stream_columnname2>=<database_columnname2>. No default value.
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.

Known limitations:

The adapter ignores the stream name in the file rows.
All the data is sent to the same stream.
