Implementing an ASA job
ASA offers you a convenient way to create streaming analysis on a configuration basis. This means you do not need to code the environment, the engine, the connection, logging, and so on. The service will take care of all these tasks for you (to see an example, refer to the Integrating sources and Writing to sinks sections that follow).

To ease things for you, this is done using a SQL dialect that was tailored for this task (see Understanding ASA SQL).
