WebSphere

Creating an event group using the administrative console

An event group defines a logical collection of events based on the content of their property data. An event group can be used when querying events from the event service, and it can optionally be associated with a JMS destination for asynchronous event distribution.

About this task

To create an event group:
Procedure
  1. Optional: Set up one or more JMS destinations for the event group. An event group can be associated with one JMS topic, and one or more JMS queues. Refer to the documentation for your JMS provider for information about how to create JMS destinations and connection factories and bind them into a JNDI namespace.
    Security: If WebSphere® security is enabled, the configuration for the JMS destination must specify an authentication alias.
  2. Create the new event group. In the server administrative console, click Service Integration > Common Event Infrastructure > Event Service > Event Services > event_service > Event Groups > New.
  3. Specify the properties of the new event group, including the event selector and optional JMS destinations.
  4. Save the configuration changes.
  5. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node.
  6. Restart the server.

Results

Event consumers can now specify the event group when querying events. If event distribution is enabled in the event service settings, events belonging to the event group are also published to any JMS destinations specified in the event group. Event consumers can then receive events asynchronously by subscribing to the appropriate destinations.
