Installing the Eclipse-based complex event processor Rule Author tool

Complete the following steps to install the EclipseTM-based Rule Author tool onto a workstation. Both the Event Manager and the CEP engine are installed with the product installation program. But you must install the Rule Author tool from a ZIP file that is included on the product installation CD or download.

Before you begin

The Rule Author tool only works on a Microsoft Windows operating system and requires Java version 1.5 or higher.

About this task

You use the Rule Author tool to configure the rules and thresholds that are used to monitor your business, and then you export that information into the event rules file (cep.xml). Event Manager and the complex event processor (CEP) engine use the event rules file to process events and detect event alerts. Event alerts can be associated with a single event or a combination of events. You can configure Event Manager to display those event alerts in the Visualizer or another visualization tool for further analysis.

To install the Eclipse-based Rule Author tool from the ZIP file:

Procedure

  1. Browse to the product installation directory.
  2. Browse to the /cep subdirectory.
  3. Copy the CEP_3.0.1.00.zip file to a Microsoft Windows client machine.
  4. Uncompress the CEP_3.0.1.00 file to drive letter:/CEP/

What to do next
