Emitting common base events

You can emit a common base event (CBE) at a significant point in a mediation flow by using an Event Emitter mediation primitive. You can also define the parts of the message that should be contained in the event. Common base events are emitted to the CEI server which can be accessed by many different applications that consume the events.

When you create an Event Emitter primitive in a mediation flow, you specify a label for the event, and the part of the message that should be included in the event. At runtime, when the Event Emitter primitive is executed in the mediation flow, a common base event is emitted, and the event label and message information is included in the Extended Data Elements of the common base event.

Common base events and event definitions can be used in a number of ways and can be consumed by various IBM products. For a complete description of how you can use the emitted events, see Event definitions in the monitoring events topic.

After you define a custom event in an Event Emitter primitive, you can perform these tasks in WebSphere Integration Developer:
