Customization and configuration recipes for the ITE application

SPL standard and specialized toolkits > com.ibm.streams.teda 1.0.2 > Developing applications > Customization and configuration recipes for the ITE application

The following recipes describe some customization and configuration procedures that are required for many ITE applications because of their common nature.

Integrating a new parser
For input formats that cannot be parsed with a built-in parser operator, you must implement a new parser operator - either in SPL, Java, or C++ - and integrate it into the ITE application.
Preparing for an input format
For each input format, you must prepare a composite operator that reads a file and parses the content, in the <namespace>.chainprocessor.reader.custom namespace.
Supporting several input formats
If you process data from different source systems, which typically means that you have different data formats, you must configure and customize the ITE application, so it knows how to handle the different formats.
