What is the exact question? How to get the Tweets read? (No, we have no out of the box adapter for that but you can write one yourself easily) Or using what rule file to process Tweets? (Yes, 4.1 does have that)

We will be adding such a functionality to read Twitter/JSON in the next releases.

Today you have two options I’d say:

You write an Adapter which does receive changes from Twitter in realtime and the instance you get one, it is fed into a realtime service. That would be an “Operation Adapter” type in the Adapter SDK.

Your second option would be to build something outside DS, a small program putting tweets into a relational database, and once an hour you read that table with a DS job.

Which one would you prefer?

what are the configurations and set up needed for creating adapter i.e operation adapter u have mentioned? and where will i create this operation adapter?

Can you tell me which twitter api’s you are using?
Have a sample, I will investigate if there is a possible way to develop a twitter adapter.
Thanks

Maybe you can use the JDBC driver from here

It should give you access from webi

Hi Werner,

I have to perform sentiment analysis on 'SOCIAL_MEDIA" networks such as Twitter using Data Services 4.0?

But when I go through the release notes of 4.1 they have mentioned about social media entity type option available. Whether I would be able to do sentiment analysis on twitter without social media entity type option in BODS 4.0? :?
