Events received by Enterprise Console Web Services Adapter and EIF WebSphere JMS Provider are represented in the Common Base Event format. These events are converted to the Enterprise Console event format before being sent to an Enterprise Console event server.
The conversion starts with the extensionName attribute in the CBE events and converts it to an event class name. If there is no event definition in the active rule base matching that converted event class name, the event is not converted and nothing is sent to the event server.
If there is an event definition for that type of event class in the active rule base, the converted event class name becomes the name for the event class. The next step is to convert the attribute names in the CBE event to attribute names in the Enterprise Console event. If a converted attribute name is present in the event definition, and the data types in the CBE event are compatible with the attribute type in the Enterprise Console event, the attribute in the CBE event is copied into the Enterprise Console event using the converted attribute name.
