In order to monitor WebSphere Process Server events, you can capture events as they occur in a database. The Common Event Infrastructure database is used for this purpose.
The WebSphere Process Server Common Event Infrastructure database is created for a stand-alone profile and for each instance of a Common Event Infrastructure server in a network deployment environment. 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.
The Common Event Infrastructure database is only created for a stand-alone server profile so there is one instance of the DBMS for each server.
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.
The scripts that are used for creating the JDBC provider for the Common Event Infrastructure database are stored in the following location: install_root/profiles/profilename/event/dsscripts/dbtype
The JNDI names of the components are:
jndiName="jdbc/cei"
jndiName="jdbc/eventcatalog"
Many tables are created. Look under the generated scripts to see which tables are generated for the given database product.
install_root/profiles/profilename/event/dbscripts/dbtype
The user credentials that you provide in the Profile wizard must have sufficient permissions to be able to create tablespaces, tables, indexes, and stored procedures. For the Create new (local) database option, the user identity must have the necessary privileges to create a new database.
More information about configuring the Common Event Infrastructure can be found in Configuring the event database.
