Why and when to perform this task

You should install the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider if you need to forward events from Common Event Infrastruture to Enterprise Console server.

You can uninstall the EIF WebSphere JMS Provider once you no longer need to forward events to Enterprise Console server.

Before you begin

The EIF WebSphere JMS Provider must be installed in a WebSphere Application Server instance that contains the Common Event Infrastructure component. The Common Event Infrastructure is not shipped with WebSphere Application Server V6 and is installed by other IBM products during their deployment.

Consult your other IBM product documentation to determine if they deploy the Common Event Infrastructure component in a WebSphere Application Server.

You can verify whether a Common Event Infrastructure server is already installed in the WebSphere Application Server by checking for an application called "Event Server" in the "Enterprise Applications" panel.
