Identification of the event source

This topic describes the event data that is automatically provided in common base events that occur in the WebSphere Process Server environment.

By default, common base event instances from WebSphere Process Server contain the sourceComponentId element. The component referred to by this element is the WebSphere Process Server where the situation occurred. The reporterComponentId is not set.

The following XML fragment shows the structure of the sourceComponentId element.

<sourceComponentId   component="WBI-SF#Platform 5.1 [BASE 5.1.1 a0421.06]
                                [JDK 1.4.1.1 jdk0409.03] [PME 5.1.0 a0405.03]"
                     componentIdType="ProductName"
                     executionEnvironment="Windows XP[x86]#5.1"
                     instanceId="Gemstone3\Gemstone3\server1"
                     location="Gemstone3.boeblingen.de.ibm.com"
                     locationType="Hostname" 
                     processId="3260"
                     componentType="WebSphereApplicationServer"
Draft comment:
Will this componentType change to "WebSphereProcessServer"?
subComponent="WPC" threadId="ORB.thread.pool : 0" componentType:="http://www.ibm.com/namespaces/autonomic/Workflow_Engine"/>

All of the attribute values are set automatically by the WebSphere runtime environment unless the caller provides the value explicitly. However, it is not recommended that you supply values explicitly. The attributes are defined as follows:

Attribute Description
component Identifies the products in the WebSphere stack. Set to
Draft comment:
Is the component *WBI-SF* correct?
WBI-SF followed by the version information of the WebSphere components.
componentIdType Set to ProductName.
executionEnvironment A string that describes the operating system in which the application server is running.
instanceId The identifier of the application server. This ID has the format: <cell name>/<node name>/<server name>
location The host name of the server (or server region for z/OS).
locationType Set to Hostname.
processId The identifier of the operating system process.
subComponent The default is J2EE_Application.
threadId The identifier of the current thread.
componentType The identifier of the component that sent the event as specified in the Common Base Event specification.
