WebSphere Adapter for SAP

Enabling the Common Event Infrastructure

The Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) is a core component of WebSphere® Process Server that provides facilities for the runtime environment to persistently store and retrieve events using a standard format. To use the CEI with your adapter, you must first adjust some settings in WebSphere Process Server.

You must publish the IBM® WebSphere Adapters Event Definitions file to the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) catalog before you can set event definitions. For more information, refer to the topics about using the Common Event Infrastructure within the documentation for WebSphere Process Server
Before you use WebSphere Process Server CEI with your adapter, you must prepare it for use with your adapter. Complete this task after you have configured the CEI Service and created an event catalog application in WebSphere Process Server.
  1. Using the WebSphere Process Server administrative console, select Troubleshooting > Log and Trace from the menu bar.
  2. Select your server name.
  3. Click the General Properties tab.
  4. Select Change Log Detail Level, and then select com.ibm.j2ca.*

    A component is listed for each adapter.

  5. Select the component for the WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software.

    Each adapter component has two subcomponents–one that is used for logging and one that is used for the CEI. The subcomponent for the CEI is named according to the format <subcomponent name>cei.<adapterID> where <adapterID> distinguishes each instance of the adapter. For example, com.ibm.j2ca.sap.cei.adapterID1 represents the CEI subcomponent for the first deployed instance of the WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software.

  6. Select the CEI subcomponent to enable, and then select an option from the list.

    The list options control whether the CEI is inactive (turned off) or active (turned on) and the level of business object detail that is captured during the event monitoring process.

    For more information, refer to the documentation for WebSphere Process Server.

You can view the monitored event results in the Common Base Event browser.
For information on what each Event Content level means (Empty, Digest and Full), and for more information on using the Common Base Event model and the Common Event Infrastructure, refer to the documentation on the WebSphere Process Server web site at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps
