For Event Manager to execute the complex event processing
rules, you must export the cep.xml event rules file that
you configured in the Eclipse-basedtm Rule Author tool.
Before you begin
The Rule Author tool only works on a client with a Microsoft
Windows operating system and requires Java version 1.5 or higher.
About this task
- If the CEP engine is already up and running when you export the
event rules file, you must reload the file on the IBM WebSphere server
for the changes in the new exported cep.xml event rules file
to take effect.
Procedure
- In the Rule Author tool, select .
- Select Event Processing Definition and
click Next.
- Select the CEP project.
- Set the event processing definition file to the new cep.xml event
rules file. The file is typically located at product_installation_directory\srd-home\console\cep.xml.
- Click Finish. If the
system warns you of overwriting an existing cep.xml file,
click OK.
- Optional: If the IBM WebSphere server is currently
running, reload the CEP rules. When the CEP engine starts
on the product application server, CEP loads the current cep.xml event
rules file. If the WebSphere server is running when you export the
file, the changes do not take effect until you reload the new cep.xml file.
- Open a Web browser window and navigate to the WebSphere
server. For example, http://localhost:13510/console/gem_processor.
- Click Reload Rules.
Note: The
WebSphere server does not visibly acknowledge that the rules have
been reloaded.
