Setting up event priority

You can set the priority of an event to be processed based on its importance. By setting the priority of each combination of business object, integration broker, and connector, you can delay a connector's retrieval of an event. For example, if you set the priority of an event to 10, the connector polls the event table ten times before retrieving the event. So, if the connector polls the event table every 5 seconds, the connector picks up the event after 50 seconds. Each time the connector polls, the priority value is reduced by one until the event is retrieved and processed.

Note:
For information on how the WebSphere business integration system identifies each unique instance of a message broker, see Event request

To set the priority of an event:

  1. Go to IBM CrossWorlds Station (transaction /n/CWLD/HOME).
  2. Click the Configuration tab, and then click the Event Distribution button.
  3. Fill in the Priority column with a value between 1 and 99 for the appropriate business object.
