Application Input View

Overview

The Application Input view allows you to see what tuples have been sent to the running application via the Manual Input View or Feed Simulations View. The Application Input view works much like the Application Output View.

By default, the Application Input view is located at the middle left side of the SB Test/Debug perspective.

The figure below shows an Application Input view that has already logged two tuples sent through the firstapp.sbapp application.

If you click on a specific tuple (row), the Resend button is enabled, and when clicked, resends that tuple through the application. The Clear button clears all tuples shown in this view. By default, the Application Input view is cleared whenever you restart an application, but you can change this by unchecking the Clear on Application Restart box.

Application Input View Preference

The Application Input and Output views each have an associated preference, Tuple Buffer Size, which by default is 400 tuples. You can change this by selecting WindowPreferences and opening Test/Debug in the StreamBase Studio section.

Application Input View Helpers

  • You can sort the tuples in the Application Input view by clicking the heading that corresponds to the way you want to sort (Time, Input Stream, or Fields), or by using the drop-down menu on this view's toolbar to select one of these options.

  • The Show Details Pane can help you read output data that is too long to easily see in the Application Input table.

    • Click the Show Details Pane button to display or hide the Show Details Pane (displayed by default) below the table.

    • Select any row in the Application Input table to display its field values in the Show Details Pane.

  • The Scroll Lock button is a toggle that allows you to control how tuples scroll in the Application Input table:

    • When Scroll Lock is off: As tuple rows are added to the top of the table, the bottom of the table (containing the first tuples) remains visible; you must scroll up to see newer tuples.

    • When Scroll Lock is on: As rows are added to the top of the table, the top of the table (containing the most recent tuples) remains visible; you must scroll down to see older tuples.

  • You can right-click any selection of rows in the view to show the context menu, which has the same features as the Application Output view: Show Time column, Copy, Copy as CSV, Copy as JSON. See Show or Suppress the Time Column and Copy to Clipboard: Plain, as CSV, as JSON.
