Creating an event group

An event group defines a logical collection of events based on the content of their property data.

Why and when to perform this task

You can use an event group to query events from the event server. You can also associate an event group with a Java Message Service (JMS) destination for asynchronous event distribution.

To create an event group, follow these steps:

Steps for this task

  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 on how to create JMS destinations and connection factories and bind them into a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) namespace.
  2. Create a new event group profile. In the WebSphere administrative console, click Resources > Common Event Infrastructure Provider > Event Group Profile List > event_group_profile_list > Event Group Profiles > New.
  3. Specify the properties of the event group profile. Refer to the online help for the Event Group Profile Settings page for detailed information about these properties.
  4. Click OK to save your changes and create the event group profile.

Result

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