Hi Alexander,

Thank you for responding. The solution you proposed uses statically defined 
windows. What I need a are dynamically created windows determined by metadata 
in the stream element.

I want the stream element to define the window.

That’s what I’m trying to research, or an alternate solution.

Again, thank you for your input.
