WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Adding event templates

Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to add new event templates to your network topology definition.

About this task

When you create an event template, you can direct it to send events to an output channel to be forwarded to another destination, such as a Java™ Message Service queue. Event templates should map to WebSphere Premises Server topics that are used on the SIBus.

The format of the event template is: target_ID/event_type

The target_ID is the ID of the target system. If the target is not a Data Capture and Delivery environment, then this value should be *. If the target is a Data Capture and Delivery environment, then this value can be a location ID or a controller ID.

The event_type is comprised of elements in this format: profile_id/type_of_event/event_name

The type_of_event is usually a command or a report, and the event_name is usually a command or report name. Any element of the event_type can be set to the variable value, *. Setting this variable means that any value in the same position creates a match. For example, an event_type of */*/*/* causes every event to be sent to the associated output channels.

See Adding output channels to event templates for more information on adding output channels to existing event templates.

Note: Event templates for tag_read are deprecated.
