3.1 Types of adaptors used for exchanging data

With Stream Data Platform - AF, you use adaptors to pass data between the input source, the output destination, and the stream data processing engine. With adaptors, you can perform such actions as converting data formats and filtering data.

To use an adaptor, you connect it to the stream data processing engine. The following two methods can be used to connect an adaptor to the stream data processing engine:

For details about these connection methods, see the uCosminexus Stream Data Platform - Application Framework Setup and Operation Guide.

There are also two types of adaptors: standard adaptors, provided with Stream Data Platform - AF, and custom adaptors, that you create by programming them in Java.

For both types, an adaptor that is used to pass data from the input data to the stream data processing engine is called an input adaptor. An adaptor that is used to pass data from the stream data processing engine to the output data is called an output adaptor.
