Receiving data

To receive data from a Streams application by using the InfoSphere Streams connector, you need to configure the InfoSphere Streams connector as a data source. The InfoSphere Streams connector connects to the Streams application endpoint that is defined by the Streams application DSSink operator, and receives data from that operator.

The following figure shows an example of using the InfoSphere Streams connector to receive data. In this case, the InfoSphere Streams connector Streams_Connector_0 receives data from the InfoSphere Streams server and then the sequential file stage writes it to the file Sequential_File_1. When you configure the InfoSphere Streams connector to receive data, you create only one output link, DSLink2, which is shown in the figure below transferring rows from Streams_Connector_0 to Sequential_File_1.
