After you created your applications by using the command-line wizard or the Streams Studio’s wizard, you want to configure and customize the applications to suit your use cases. Configuring means adapting your creation by assigning appropriate values to the parameters. Customizing means, for example, creating code in the designated composites and operators. The line between these two activities is blurred and you constantly switch between configuring and customizing as the whole process is rather iterative.
The most important directory when configuring your application is <PathToYourApplication>/config. In Streams Studio, you find this directory under <YourApplication>/Resources/config. The application’s configuration file config.cfg is in this directory.
Before you begin
For all configuration descriptions, you must ensure that:
- You installed IBM® InfoSphere® Streams successfully on your system.
You successfully created your application.
You opened the <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg file, either in an editor or in Streams Studio.
- Configuring ITE Applications
- The wizards that help you creating an ITE application provide three variants that differ in their usage of deduplication and how the data streams processed by your application are organized.
- Configuring Lookup Manager Applications
- The most important directory when configuring your application is <PathToYourApplication>/config.
- Systems Configuration
- Running your applications in a multiple hosts environment: When your solution starts to grow and consists of a Lookup Manager controlling one or more ITE applications, you want to run and manage it on multiple hosts.
