Configure CEI event services
Before configuring the IBM Business Monitor components using the administrative console, you must have a Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) event service in your ND cell that IBM Business Monitor can use to send events. The same CEI event service can also be used to receive events.
If you created a stand-alone profile for IBM Business Monitor or used the deployment environment configuration wizard, a CEI event service has already been created for you. If you are adding IBM Business Monitor on Process Server topology, you can use the CEI event service that is deployed by Process Server for IBM Business Monitor. Otherwise, follow the instructions on this page to create a new CEI event service.
Use the wbmDeployCEIEventService command to install a CEI event service on a server or cluster and create the resources it requires (the service integration bus and messaging engine).
You can also configure security and enable the default CEI event service data store if required. (The event service data store is not recommended for production environments.) In the core topology for high availability, the CEI event service is installed on the support cluster.
To install a new CEI event service:
Procedure
- Open a command prompt, and change directories to the bin directory of the dmgr profile (by default, DMGR01) where WebSphere Application Server is installed, or to the bin directory of the stand-alone profile in a single-server environment.
- Launch wsadmin by running the following command:
-
wsadmin.sh
-
wsadmin.bat
-
- Run the wbmDeployCEIEventService command interactively by entering the following command:
(jacl) $AdminTask wbmDeployCEIEventService {-interactive} (jython) AdminTask.wbmDeployCEIEventService('-interactive')Alternatively, you can run the command by providing all the parameters. For an example, see "Configuring IBM Business Monitor components using wsadmin commands" in the related links. - Save the results using the following command:
(jacl) $AdminConfig save (jython) AdminConfig.save()
- To synchronize the nodes, in the administrative console, click System administration > Nodes, select all of the nodes, and click Full Resynchronize.
- Restart the dmgr to see the CEI links show up in the administrative console.
Results
The CEI event service is enabled.

If you did not perform the data store step while running wbmDeployCEIEventService, you can optionally create the data store for the CEI event service later.
