Manage events
Events are requests or responses sent from one component to another. You can process events in a specific sequence. When events fail, you can use the failed event manager to view, discard, modify, or resubmit the events. You can also use the Store and forward feature to prevent subsequent failures from occurring when a component calls asynchronously to a service that is unavailable.
- Maintaining and monitoring IBM BPM Event Manager
The Event Manager monitor, included in the Process Admin Console, is useful for troubleshooting processes that are supposed to run automatically (through an undercover agent, for example) but fail to start. You can use the Event Manager monitor to identify underlying problems as well as to control various aspects of Event Manager processing.- Work with failed events in IBM BPM
If an event fails, it is stored in a database in the failed events manager. Use the failed event manager to search for and handle failed events.- Preventing multiple failed events when a service is unavailable
If your component calls a service, and that service is unavailable, a runtime error occurs. Events associated with the error are treated, by default, as failed events. Using the store-and-forward feature, however, you can drastically reduce the number of failed events that are generated by the system.
- Manage locks on sequenced events
The lock manager handles event sequencing locks. You can use the esAdmin command to list, delete, or unlock any lock in the lock manager.
