WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Common Event Infrastructure database configurations

The Common Event Infrastructure database specifications list the types of supported databases, script locations, profile configuration types, and necessary User ID privileges.

Use the Common Event Infrastructure database to store events that are captured when monitoring WebSphere® ESB.

You create the Common Event Infrastructure database for a stand-alone configuration by default and for each instance of a Common Event Infrastructure server in a network deployment environment. To create the database, you use scripts.

The Common Event Infrastructure database is an internal device and you do not interact directly with it. All interactions with the Common Event Infrastructure database must be performed using the supported Common Event Infrastructure APIs.

See "Configuring the event database" for more information.

For a stand-alone configuration using a DB2® for z/OS® database, or if you are creating a managed node or Deployment Manager, you must create the Common Event Infrastructure database and storage groups before running the WebSphere ESB for z/OS configuration script.

When you run the WebSphere ESB for z/OS configuration script, make sure that the Common Event Infrastructure database and storage group names in the response file match the names that you will use when you created the database and storage groups. For information on database and storage groups, see "Creating the DB2 databases and storage groups using DButility,sh, SPUFI, or DSNTEP2"

Supported Database Types

The Common Event Infrastructure database can use the following database products:
Table 1. Supported database products
Database Types Considerations
Derby Embedded Used as the default database type for a standalone server.

DB2 for z/OS v8
DB2 for z/OS v9

Important: When creating a profile for a server that uses DB2 for z/OS v9, the server must be able to connect to the DB2 database.
Used as the database in network deployment configurations. Optionally, can be used as the database in stand-alone server configurations.

Database Management Service instances

Each deployment target of the Common Event Infrastructure server has one database. The Common Event Infrastructure database is only created for a stand-alone server configuration so there is one instance of the Database Management Service (DBMS) for each server.

Database actions invoked by the product configuration script

Configuration of the Common Event Infrastructure database is done by the profile template ANT script configCei.ant invoking the Common Event Infrastructure API with a response file containing all the necessary properties for the desired configuration.

SQL scripts

Database configuration is accomplished by creating a response file invoking the Common Event Infrastructure API with it as a parameter. As Common Event Infrastructure processes this response file and creates scripts, they are placed under the following location: ${proflePath}/dbscripts/CEI_dbname

JDBC provider

The scripts that are used for creating the Common Event Infrastructure database are stored in the following location: configuration_root/app_server_root/profiles/profilename/event/dbscripts/CEI_dbname

The JNDI names of the components are:
  • jndiName="jdbc/cei"
  • jndiName="jdbc/eventcatalog"
