    1. The Real-Time Task function in Data Development is available in FineDataLink only with a V5.0 license.

    2. For more information about real-time tasks, contact technical support. (See Technical Support Channel Introduction.)

    Overview

    Version

    FineDataLink VersionFunctional Change
    5.0.0.1/
    5.0.1.5 Added a limitation that the IBM MQ Input operator cannot be used with Grouped SummaryFlink SQL, or Data Association in a real-time task.

    Application Scenario

    You may need to read data from IBM MQ data sources in real time and output it to specified databases after processing for reporting and real-time dashboard creation and display.

    Function Description

    FineDataLink provides an IBM MQ Input operator under Data Development > Real-Time Task to support real-time data reading from IBM MQ data sources.

    Function Limitation

    From FineDataLink V5.0.1.5, if an IBM MQ Input operator is used in a real-time task, you cannot use Group Summary, Flink SQL, or Data Association in the task.

    Function Description

    The following figure shows the configuration page of the IBM MQ Input operator.

    The following table describes the setting items.

    Setting ItemDescription
    Data SourceYou must configure an IBM MQ data connection before you can select it here. This item is required.
    TopicEnter the topic in the text box, for example, myhome/kitchen/smartdishwasher. This item is required.
    Output Field

    Select the information to be transmitted to downstream operators from IBM MQ messages. You can select Application Data and Topic.

    1. Topic (topic): the topic name of the message

    2. Application Data (applicationData): the actual content of the message

    • Values in different data formats (such as XML, JSON, key-value pairs, and Avro) will be uniformly converted to the text format.

    • You can add a transformation operator downstream for parsing.

    Synchronization TypeIt is unconfigurable. It defaults to Incremental Synchronization Only, which means continuously synchronizing incremental changes (INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE operations) starting from the specified point.
    Incremental Sync Start PointIt defaults to Task Startup Time and is unconfigurable.
    Sample SettingYou can add multiple sample data rows.
    Data Preview

    Data is displayed based on the configuration of Output Field and Sample Setting.

    If no retained messages exist in the topic during fetching, only the table structure is displayed with no data rows.

    Data Fetching Example

    Reading Data Using the IBM MQ Input Operator

    1. Log in to the FineDataLink project, choose Data Development > Real-Time Task > Create to create a real-time task, as shown in the following figure.

    Set the task name and location, and click the OK button to enter the real-time task design page, as shown in the following figure.

    2. Drag in an IBM MQ Input operator, select the data source, and set Topic and Output Field, as shown in the following figure.

    Click Data Preview to preview the data.

    The fetched data is in the JSON format.

    Parsing Data

    1. Drag in a JSON Parsing operator and configure it to parse the data fetched in the "Reading Data Using the IBM MQ Input Operator" section, as shown in the following figure.

    2. Click Data Preview, as shown in the following figure.

    Outputting Data

    Drag in a DB Table Output operator and configure it to output the data to the specified database, as shown in the following figure.

    For details about the configuration of DB Table Output, see DB Table Output (Real-Time Task).

    Use the default write method.

    Starting and Managing the Task

    Click Start to start the real-time task, as shown in the following figure.

    You can view the task execution status and details on the Log Management page.
