Adapter tab

Use the adapter tab to select an EP adapter that will emit events for this event binding.

You can also provide advanced information that tells CICS® how to run the EP adapter. The tab consists of three sections.

Adapter
In this section, you choose the type of EP adapter and supply information required by your chosen EP adapter.
TS Queue
Emits events to a named CICS TS queue. Use this EP adapter to validate that the correct events are being captured with the correct data, and to emit events to any consumer that reads from a TS queue.
Transaction Start
Emits events to a named CICS transaction. Data is passed to the transaction in a container-based event format. You can specify the CICS system to run the transaction. You can use an existing transaction, if the event data is not required.
Custom (User Written)
Emits events in any format that you require. A custom EP adapter is a CICS program that you write to provide a combination of formatting and routing of an event that is not supported by the CICS-supplied EP adapters. The custom EP adapter must not carry out any other processing, such as consumption of the event.
WMQ Queue
Emits events to a WebSphere® message queue either in an XML format for consumption by WebSphere Business Events, the Common Base Event (CBE) format for WebSphere Business Monitor, or in a non-XML format.

Advanced
Supplying information in this section is not required to complete the event binding. If you need to influence the way in which CICS runs the EP adapter, you can change the priority, transactionality, user ID, transaction ID, and CICS system ID. Not all these options are available for all EP adapter types. The section displays the correct set of options for your chosen EP adapter and message format.
