Configuring event and archive processing

To configure event and archive processing, you must use configuration properties to specify the following information:

You can also specify a value for the EventOrderBy property to specify the order of events to be processed. For information on these and other configuration properties, see Appendix A, Standard configuration properties for connectorsand Table 4.

Note:
Creation of the event and archive tables is optional. However, if you specify a value for EventTableName but do not use the connector to poll for events and do not create an event table, the connector times out. To prevent such time-out, leave the value of EventTableName as null (as a string).

By default, the name of the event queue table is xworlds_events, and the name of the archive queue table is xworlds_archive_events.

To use the connector only for request processing, use the -fno option when starting it and set the value of EventTableName to null (as a string).

If the driver being used does not support Java class DatabaseMetaData, and you want the connector to avoid the checking for the existence of event and archive tables, disable the CheckForEventTableInInit by setting its value to false. By default, it is true. It is recommended that the value not be set to false.

Note:
If your site will not archive events into the archive table, set the value of ArchiveProcessed to false.
