• SPL Project and SPL Application Set Project support for organizing and building stream processing applications and toolkits.
• Project Explorer view to visualize your SPL resources in a logical manner.
• Support for using Streams Studio in a team environment.
• Data visualization for viewing tuples from running stream processing applications.
• Custom color scheme support for rapid understanding of IBM® Streams instance performance and state.
• Graph view that displays topology of application.
• Metrics view that displays and analyzes metrics from running applications.
• Submit Time Job Configuration view to preview the placement of operators and PEs on the resources in an instance, and to modify the submission time job configuration settings before submitting the application.
• Log viewing support that gathers and examines logs from a running instance.
• Launchers for running stand-alone and distributed applications.
• Debugger for testing and debugging stream processing applications.
• Integrated help that provides information that is needed during the development of stream processing applications and toolkits.
• SPL graphical and text editors for creating and modifying stream processing applications, primitive operators, and native functions.
