Options for Defining Output Fields in StreamBase Operators

For operators whose Properties view lets you define output fields, StreamBase provides two different modes for specifying the output:

Explicit:

Requires you to specify each output field. This mode gives you complete control over the output, but for large schemas may require extensive manual editing.

Delta

Preselects some or all of the input fields coming into the operator for inclusion in the output stream. This method can sometimes be easier than using the explicit mode. When appropriate, StreamBase automatically assigns names to the output fields. It may add also prefixes to avoid name collision when the operator has multiple input streams. In some of the operators (not all), you can then indicate exceptions: fields that you want to change, remove, or add.

The names and behavior of delta and explicit options vary depending on the operator. Please see the operator's Help for details:
