IBM InfoSphere Streams Version 4.1.0

Configuring IBM® InfoSphere Streams

Before you use InfoSphere® Streams, you must create at least one domain. An InfoSphere Streams domain is a container for InfoSphere Streams instances which provides a single point for configuring and managing common resources, security, and instances.

Setting up an InfoSphere Streams basic domain on a single resource
A basic domain has a single InfoSphere Streams resource and user. This type of domain is typically used for test or development environments.
Setting up an InfoSphere Streams enterprise domain on multiple resources
An enterprise domain can have multiple resources and users. This type of domain is typically used for production environments. You can configure high availability to ensure that InfoSphere Streams can continue to run even if resources fail or are not available.
Configuring security for InfoSphere Streams
Each InfoSphere Streams domain and instance maintains its own security configuration.
Configuring transport mechanisms for InfoSphere Streams
InfoSphere Streams supports several high-performance and configurable transport mechanisms for communicating across processing elements (PEs). You can configure the transport mechanism by updating InfoSphere Streams properties or by specifying options in streams processing applications.
Configuring Streams Studio for remote development
You can install Streams Studio on a local Linux or Windows system that acts as a client and install InfoSphere Streams on a remote Linux system that acts as a server. To connect to the remote Linux system where InfoSphere Streams is installed, you must configure a connection.
Configuring the checkpoint data store
The checkpoint data store is configured for the domain or instance that is running any operator that calls the checkpoint API.
