Enabling the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)

This topic describes how to enable the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) for the adapter.

Why and when to perform this task

You must publish the IBM WebSphere Adapters Event Definitions file to the CEI catalog before you can set these event definitions. For instruction on how to do this, refer to the CEI documentation found on the WebSphere Process Server web site at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the WebSphere administrative console.
  2. Go to Troubleshooting > Log and Trace and select <your server name>.
  3. There are many options for the General Properties. Select Change Log Detail Level, and then select com.ibm.j2ca.* for JCA components. Under this section there is a subcomponent for each adapter type:
    • com.ibm.j2ca.flatfile.* (WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files)
    • com.ibm.j2ca.jdbc.* (WebSphere Adapter for JDBC)
    • com.ibm.j2ca.peoplesoft.* (WebSphere Adapter for PeopleSoft)
    • com.ibm.j2ca.sap.* (WebSphere Adapter for SAP)
    • com.ibm.j2ca.siebel.* (WebSphere Adapter for Siebel)
  4. Select the component that matches your adapter. Each adapter component has two subcomponents, one for logging and one for CEI. They are:
    • subcomponent name.log.adapter id
    • subcomponent name.cei.adapter id
    For example, com.ibm.j2ca.siebel.cei.<AdapterID1>. For each instance of a deployed adapter, the system will show a separate ID.
  5. Select the CEI adapter ID that you want to enable.
  6. From the drop-down menu, you can choose from the following:
    • off - turn CEI off
    • fine- turn CEI on with Event Content set to Empty
    • finer- turn CEI on with Event Content set to Digest
    • finest- turn CEI on with Event Content set to Full
    • all - same as finest

What to do next

For information on what each Event Content level means (Empty, Digest and Full), and for more information on using the Common Base Event model and the Common Event Infrastructure, refer to the documentation on the WebSphere Process Server web site at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps
