About this task:

IBM Event Manager works as an add-on to IBM Relationship Resolution. If Event Manager is installed and enabled, whenever the pipeline detects that incoming UMF data includes information in the EVENT data segment, the pipeline processes the data for entity resolution and passes on the processed data to CEP, a complex event processor tool. CEP processes the event data, making decisions based on the configured event business rules, and returns the decision information back to IBM Relationship Resolution, where the event information is stored in the entity database. If there are any event alerts associated with an event or combination of events, you can configure Event Manager to display those event alerts in the Visualizer for further analysis and disposition by analysts or investigators.

You can configure your own event business rules and then export the XML file, using the CEP Eclipse-based business rule authoring tool. The combined Eclipse and CEP package is included in a ZIP file in the IBM Relationship Resolution v4.2. fix pack 1 CD or download.
