# Step 4: Obtaining Data from DIS

#### Function

You can retrieve data from DIS when needed.

#### Sample Code

The example code file is the ConsumerDemo.java file in the \dis-sdk-demo\src\main\java\com\bigdata\dis\sdk\demo directory decompressed from the dis-sdk-XXX.zip package. The compression package is downloaded in Step 2: Preparing a DIS Application Development Environment.

#### Running the Consumer Application

If information similar to the following appears, data has been successfully retrieved from DIS:
