Description files

StreamIN input is either field-based (FieldIN) or record-based (RecordIN). In either case, you must create a description file where you describe all fields that the input data can contain, and which StreamIN Event configuration the input data is aimed for. One description file can contain several descriptions, separated by description IDs. You create a description file using a text editor, and import it to a resource set connected to the StreamIN configuration.

Adding the description file to the StreamIN configurations

In the Design Center, you must add the description file to the appropriate StreamIN configurations.

1	In the Message window, right-click the StreamIN Event and select Settings. The Event Settings dialog box opens.

2	On the Agent Settings tab, select the appropriate Input Type (FieldIN or RecordIN) and edit the settings.
