Streams Formatting Quick Reference

Each of the following tables represents an example of a publisher and its subscriber, which are of course, different components. This focuses on the fields that are ‘different’ for each of these TYPEs, to illustrate the relationship between config_key, dmaap connection object, and the generated configuration. Some notes on specific properties:

  • config_key is an arbitrary string, chosen by the component developer. It is returned in the generated configuration where it contains specific values for the target connection

  • format, version, and type properties in the subscriber would match these properties in the publisher

  • aaf_username and aaf_password may be different between the publisher and the subscriber
