Class Definition Statement File Details

For each class of event supported by an adapter, one or more class definition
statements are present in the CDS file. These statements define which incoming
event maps to a particular class and how the attributes of the formatted event
instance going to the event server are filled with values. The class definition
statements are described as follows:
SELECT
FETCH
MAP
Class definition statements are evaluated in the order they appear in the CDS file.
An incoming event is mapped to the class specified by the first class definition
statement whose SELECT statement is evaluated successfully.
When more than one class definition statement is provided for a particular class of
event, the class definition statement with the most restrictive SELECT statement is
placed before the less restrictive statements in the CDS file. Locating the most
restrictive class definition statement first for a same-named class provides for
better performance of the adapter.
