Named Pipe input connector This connector retrieves input from a named pipe. The connector settings are described below. Named Pipe The named pipe. Schedule Opens the Scheduler Configuration dialog where you specify when and how often to try to retrieve data. See Scheduling actions in the Design Center documentation for more information about scheduling. Time-out Specifies a time-out 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.
