Enterprise Console 3.9 Feature Option 1 Overview

The Enterprise Console Feature Option 1 contains a set of components that enable the Enterprise Console server to receive events through Web Services invocations and also to receive events from applications using the Common Event Infrastructure component in the WebSphere Application Server product.

Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter
The Web Services Adapter is a standalone application that can receive events through Web Services invocations and forward these events to an Enterprise Console event server. The adapter can be installed on the machine hosting the Enterprise Console server or on a different machine if there are not enough resources to run both the adapter and the server on the same machine. The adapter is supported only on the same operating systems supported by the Enterprise Console 3.9 event server with Fix Pack 4, or later.
Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver
The Common Event Infrastructure Web Services Receiver is a component that can be installed on WebSphere Application Server instances (individual servers or clusters) , thus enabling the Common Event Infrastructure to receive events through Web Services invocations. The receiver must be installed on WebSphere Application Server instances that already contain the Common Event Infrastructure Event Server.
EIF WebSphere JMS Provider
EIF is the event transmission protocol used between Enterprise Console adapters and the Enterprise Console Server. The EIF WebSphere JMS Provider can be installed on instances of the WebSphere Application Server to enable other WebSphere-based applications to send events directly to an Enterprise Console server. This component requires the presence of the the Common Event Infrastructure in the target WebSphere Application Server instances.
EIF Event Definition to BAROC converter
The EIF WebSphere JMS Provider forwards events from the Common Event Infrastructure server to an Enterprise Console server. This converter can transform event definitions in the Common Event Infrastructure format to Enterprise Console event class definition files using the BAROC file format, which can then be imported into an Enterprise Console rule base.
