The common based event adapter component links the workflow system and the IBM® WebSphere® Business Monitor server.
When processes are running, the workflow system records each event to the workflow event logs. The BPM common base event adapter for WebSphere reads this data and converts the workflow events to common base event adapter events, and then sends the converted events to the WebSphere Business Monitor server through the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) layer.
The common base event adapter can be deployed on the same Websphere Application Server profile on which the Websphere Business Monitor is installed. The installation instructions for installing the Websphere Monitor server can be obtained from the official IBM Websphere Business Monitor documentation.
Step | Description |
---|---|
Step 1: Create the BPMSTATE database. | Run the P8BPMCBEAdaptor.ddl script, which creates the BPMSTATE database and tables used by the BPM common base event adapter for WebSphere. |
Step 2: Create a work manager. | Create a work manager, which is used to query events from multiple workflow event logs at the same time. |
Step 3: Create database authentication aliases. | Create authentication aliases to connect to the workflow system and common base event adapter databases. |
Step 4: Create Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) data sources. | Create a JDBC data source to connect to the workflow system database and common base event adapter databases. |
Step 5: Install the BPM common base event adapter application. | Browse to the P8BPMCBEAdaptor.ear file and complete the deployment of the common base event adapter application. |
Step 6: Set optional configuration properties. | Set optimal configuration properties to fine-tune the behavior of the common base event adapter. |
Step 7: Start the BPM common base event adapter for WebSphere. | Start the BPM common base event adapter for WebSphere. |
