3.1 Flow of configuring

The procedure for configuring a stream data processing system depends on the mode of connection between the adaptors and the SDP server and the functions used by the adaptors. The following figure shows a flow of system configuration.

The following describes the steps.

  1. Installing Stream Data Platform - AF
    Install Stream Data Platform - AF. For details about the installation procedure, see the Release Notes for Stream Data Platform - AF.
  2. Preparing prerequisite programs
    Prerequisite programs are required in order to input HTTP packets and output data to a dashboard. For details about the prerequisite programs, see 2.2.1 Program configuration in a stream data processing system.
    Install and set up the prerequisite programs by referencing each program's documentation.
  3. Setting up an operating environment
    Register an administrator user and create the working directories.
    For details about the setup method, see 3.3 Setting up an operating environment.
  4. Creating the SDP server definition files
    Create the SDP server definition files and set up the SDP server operation.
    For details about how to create these files, see 3.4 Creating the SDP server definition files.
  5. Creating the query definition files
    Create the query definition files and define the stream data summary analysis scenarios.
    For details about how to create these files, see 3.5 Creating the query definition files.
  6. Creating the adaptor definition files
    If you use the standard adaptors, you must create the adaptor definition files and set up the operation of the standard adaptors. If you use custom adaptors, there is no need to create the adaptor definition files.
    For details about how to create these files, see 3.6 Creating the adaptor definition files.
  7. Creating custom adaptors
    Create custom adaptors using the data communication API provided by Stream Data Platform - AF. If you use the standard adaptors, there is no need to create custom adaptors.
    For details about how to create custom adaptors, see the manual uCosminexus Stream Data Platform - Application Framework Application Development Guide.
  8. Setting up a dashboard
    If you use the standard adaptors to output the stream data summary analysis results to a dashboard, you must set up the dashboard. If you do not output the results to a dashboard, there is no need to perform this setup.
    For details about the setup method, see 3.7 Setting up the dashboard.

For details about how to change the settings of a system that has already been configured, see 5. Modifying the System.
