Opening the event monitor

In IBM Integration Designer, you can use the event monitor to enable (or disable) event and monitor model generation and monitoring. The event monitor is accessible as a properties page in many of the IBM Integration Designer editors.

The method you use to open the event monitor differs depending on whether you want to enable event monitoring at the SCA level in the assembly editor or at the component level in one of the component editors.

To open the event monitor:

Procedure

1. If you want to enable event monitoring at the SCA level, you must open the event monitor in the assembly editor and then select one or more component or import interface operations, as described in the following steps:
   1. Open your assembly diagram in the assembly editor and select the business integration import or component (such as a business process) that contains the interface operation that you want to monitor for events.

   2. Click the Properties tab. The Properties view opens.

   3. In the Properties view, click the Details tab. The Details pane opens.

   4. In the Details pane, expand the list of interfaces and select the operation that you want to monitor for events. The Event Monitor tab is displayed in the Details pane.

   5. Click the Event Monitor tab. The Event Monitor pane opens and the name of the monitorable element appears at the top of the Details pane.

2. If you want to enable event monitoring at the component level, you must open the event monitor in a component editor (such as the business process editor) and then select one or more component elements to monitor, as described in the following steps:

   1. In the component editor, select the monitorable element in the business integration component that you want to monitor for events.

      For example, in the business process editor, you could select a process activity in the process editor canvas or select the entire process in the process editor tray.

   2. Click the Properties tab. The Properties view opens.

   3. Click the Event Monitor tab. The Event Monitor pane opens and the name of the monitorable element appears at the top of the pane, as shown in the figure below:

      

What to do next

After you have opened the event monitor, you will probably want to specify event properties for individual component elements that you have selected in a component editor. Or you may want to globally specify event properties for all monitorable elements in a component. These tasks are described in the topics "Specifying event properties for component elements" and "Specifying event properties for components."
