Modifying Enterprise Console event class definitions

The EIF WebSphere JMS Provider uses Enterprise Console event class definitions to map events in the Common Base Event format to events in the Enterprise Console event format.

The event class definitions used by EIF WebSphere JMS Provider are installed at <was_profile_path>/eventext/tec_classes directory and contains the default definitions of Tivoli Enterprise Console server, version 3.9.

Whenever event class defintions of Tivoli Enterpise Console server are modified, then the event class definitions used by EIF WebSphere JMS Provider needs to be synchronized with those definitions. To synchronize the event class definitions, perform the following steps,

  1. In all WebSphere Application Server nodes, where EIF WebSphere JMS Provider is installed, delete all the files in the directory <was_profile_path>/eventext/tec_classes.
  2. Copy all the files located in the directory <$DBDIR>/tec/rb_dir/TEC_CLASSES, (where <$DBDIR> is the environment variable set by the TME setup_env script) on the Tivoli Enterprise Console server machine to the directory <was_profile_path>/eventext/tec_classes on all EIF WebSphere JMS Provider installation.
  3. Restart the WebSphere Application Servers hosting EIF WebSphere JMS Provider.


Special care must be taken to use the same set of Enterprise Console event definitions on both Tivoli Enterprise Console server and the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider; otherwise the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider may supress events that could otherwise be processed at the Tivoli Enterprise Console server or forward events that the Tivoli Enterprise Console server cannot understand.
