Review these concepts before proceeding with the configuration
steps.
Event integration
In this scenario,
you use WebSphere® MQ to
pass the message from WebSphere Sensor Events to WebSphere Business Monitor.
- Events generated by WebSphere Sensor Events are placed
into a queue.
- The queue is linked to a Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) running
in WebSphere Business Monitor.
- WebSphere Business Monitor processes
events placed into the CEI.
Business Asset Events
The WebSphere Sensor Events sent to WebSphere Business Monitor are
called Business Asset Events. The event generation for this type of
events is handled by the BAE
Reusable Component.
The BAE Reusable Component:
- Accepts a tag read.
- Retrieves the associated data using the Asset
Management Reusable Component.
- Generates the BAE XML.
The BAE Reusable Component is a task agent that is available
for configuration in the WebSphere Sensor Events Administrative Console. See BAE agent for details. Usually you will not
need to make changes to the properties.
Business Asset Events sample files
Sample
files support files are available for the integration with WebSphere Business Monitor. These
files are available in the WebSphere Sensor Events Toolkit and
on the WebSphere Sensor Events server,
once it has been installed.
- Server location - IBM_RFID_HOME\premises\install\ruc\bae
- Toolkit location - IBM_RFID_HOME\premises\install\ruc\bae
- AssetEventModelApplication.ear
- This file is the WebSphere Business Monitor model
application. It counts each unique RFID tag for all Business Asset
Events received. Use the application to verify the WebSphere Sensor Events and WebSphere Business Monitor integration.
- Sample_TagAggregationReport.xml
- This file is a RFID tag read aggregation XML document. It is used
during testing in the WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit.
- Sample_TagReport.xml
- This is a RFID tag read XML document. It is used during testing
in the WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit.
- WSEAssetEvent.xsd
- This file is the BAE XML schema definition.
- WSEAssetEvents.zip
- This file is the project interchange of the source of the WebSphere Business Monitor model
application. You should import it into the WebSphere Business Monitor development toolkit.
