Device input connector

This connector scans a UNIX FIFO (First-In-First-Out queue) for incoming jobs. The connector settings are described below.

Device path

The file path to the FIFO.

Example 1

Device

./fifos/My_Fifo

 

Schedule

Opens the Scheduler Configuration dialog where you specify when and how often to scan the FIFO. See Scheduling actions in the Design Center documentation for more information about scheduling.

Time-out

Specifies a time-out (seconds) for the connector. The StreamServer uses job-end sequences in the input data to determine when all data in an input job is received. If there are no job-end sequences in the input data, the StreamServer will not know when to stop waiting for more input. To prevent this from happening, you can define a time-out for the input connector.
