Connectivity plug-ins can be written in Java or C++, and run inside the correlator process to allow messages to be sent and received to/from external systems
Individual plug-ins are combined together to form chains that define the path of a message, with the correlator host process at one end and an external system or library at the other, and with an optional sequence of message mapping transformations between them.

Stack Overflow is a community moderated, public forum for discussing various problems and solutions regarding software projects. This tag will enable community members to post Apama related questions, which subscribers of the tag will be alerted to.… Read More
Docker and Kubernetes both provide a means for passing encrypted data into your application through secrets.
To demonstrate this, a new sample has been added to our GitHub repository.
This sample demonstrates how to set the variable CORRELATOR_NAME using a secret, which is then read by a configuration file which is loaded into the correlator.
These secrets could be used for securely passing credentials to HTTP/REST clients. An example of doing this to access the openweathermap.org API is shown below (all commands are for Linux).… Read More
In our previous Introduction to the Any Type blog, we learned about the new EPL any type introduced in 10.1. In 10.2, we expanded the set of reflection capabilities on the any type. These new additions increase our ability to write even more generic and dynamic Apama applications, so let’s explore them now!
Reflection Capabilities Of the Any Type:Reflection allows EPL to act on values of an any type object in a generic way, including altering the behavior to adapt to what fields or actions a type has.… Read More
In Apama 10.2 we have upgraded the versions of Docker that we use. We have moved to Docker v17.09.0-ce, Docker Compose v1.16.1 and Compose API 3.3. In addition we have also introduced support for using Kubernetes. Our Docker samples now include Kubernetes orchestration files that are the equivalent of the the YAML files supplied for Docker Compose.

Please visit https://github.com/SoftwareAG/apama-streaming-analytics-docker-samples to get started.
These samples function using the provided Dockerfile to create an image from your Apama installation. Most of them also work with the pre-built images, which are available for free from Docker Store. You can add them to your Store account by visiting https://store.docker.com/images/apama-correlator.
