Feed handlers direct inbound market data into the Sybase RAP environment. Feed handlers are publishers that manage connectivity and message transformation directly from exchanges, like the NYSE, or consolidated service providers, like Reuters. Although all feed handlers are currently third party, Sybase RAP provides a common API publisher that allows vendors to integrate proprietary data feeds with the Sybase RAP API handler.
Sybase RAP includes a Sybase feed handler that reads comma-delimited market data from a demo file. This component is intended to help developers become familiar with the Publisher API and demonstrate network message flow.
