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.
HTTP
Emits events to an HTTP 1.1 compliant server using HTTP POST in
XML format for consumption by products such as WebSphere Business Events and WebSphere Business Monitor.
- 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.
