Importing the cep.xml event rules file

The cep.xml event rules file contains the information that the CEP engine and Event Manager use to process events and generate event alerts. A starting cep.xml file that already contains the elements and settings required to work with Event Manager is included with your product installation. So rather than starting from scratch, import the existing cep.xml file into a CEP project.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. In the Rule Author tool, select File > Import.
  2. Select Event Processing Definition and click Next.
  3. Browse to select the cep.xml file. Remember to change the default file type from DEF to XML. Typically, this file is located in the product_installation_directory\srd-home\console directory.
  4. Check the following items:
    • Make sure that all contents of the file are selected. (Expand the top folder to examine the contents of the file, if necessary.)
    • Make sure that the correct CEP project name displays. (Browse to select the project, if necessary.)
  5. Click Finish. Click OK to override the existing file, if you receive that message. When the file is successfully imported, several plus signs display in the Rule Author tool left navigational pane.

What to do next

Add business event rules and then export the cep.xml event rules file to the product_install_directory\srd-home\console\ directory.
