To add a new data stream for a connection instance

You can set up multiple streams for a data type for a connection instance. This approach is beneficial when handling large volumes of data. You can divide a single data stream into several streams, each with its own filter.

To create a new data stream for an existing connection instance, perform the following steps:

  1. On the CONNECTORS tab, click Icon_Add.png on the SOURCES panel.
  2. Select an existing connector from the Source Connection list for which you want to create a new data stream.
  3. Select the destination from the Destination Connection list.
  4. Select the data type for which you want to create the data stream.
  5. Apply the filters for the data type, and click CREATE COLLECTORS to create the required collector data streams.
  6. Click CREATE DISTRIBUTORS to create the required distributor streams for the selected data types.
  7. Click one of the following buttons:
    • SAVE STREAM: Click this button if you want to edit the connection before data collection starts. After you save the stream, a new stream is created for the selected connector. You can start the data stream later, as needed. For information about starting a data stream, see To start data streams.
    • SAVE AND START STREAM: Click this button if you want to start data collection immediately.
