Monitorable components and elements in IBM Integration Designer
In IBM Integration Designer, you can use the event monitor to enable event generation and monitoring for a wide variety of business integration components and their elements.
The event monitor can be invoked from the Properties view of the assembly editor or from the Properties view of any of the following component editors:
- Assembly editor
- Business process editor
- Business state machine editor
- Business object map editor
- Business rule group editor
- Interface map editor
- Human task editor
- Mediation flow editor (explicit event emitter primitive only)
- Selector editor
If you want to enable event monitoring at the SCA level, then you must open the event monitor in the assembly editor and select one or more component or import interface operations to monitor. See Enabling SCA events to be emitted for information that describes how to set an SCA event to be emitted.
If you want to enable event monitoring at the component level, then you can open the event monitor in one of the component editors (such as the business process editor) and select one or more component elements to monitor.
In the mediation flow editor, you can select an Event Emitter primitive from the palette to emit a monitor event at a specified location in the flow. See the topic Emitting common base events and its subtopics. Although the event monitor is not enabled in the mediation flow editor, you can open the event monitor in the assembly editor and then monitor interface operations for mediation flows in the same way as for other business integration components.
Tip: See the Mediation flows overview topic in the related links section for information about mediation flows.
In the business process editor, you can select one or more process activities or variables as monitorable elements. Or you can select the entire process as a monitorable element. If you select one or more activities or variables as monitorable elements, the event monitor is populated with the event types for those selected activities or variables. However, if you select the entire process as a monitorable element, the event monitor is populated with all of the event types for processes.
In the business process editor, you can select any combination of the activities, variables, and business process itself as monitorable elements. This gives you greater control over event generation properties.
For example, if you select one or more activities or variables as monitorable elements but you do not select the entire process as a monitorable element, only events associated with the selected activities or variables will be generated. And if you select one or more activities or variables as monitorable elements and you also select the entire process as a monitorable element, events associated with the selected activities, variables, and entire process will be generated.
The monitorable elements for each editor are listed in the table below.
| Editor | Monitorable element |
|---|---|
| Assembly editor (CEI only) | Operation |
| Business process editor (CEI and Audit Log) | Assign, Compensate, Empty (Empty Action), Flow (Parallel Activities and Generalized Flow), ForEach, Invoke, Pick (Receive Choice), Process, Receive, Reply, Rethrow, Scope, Script (Snippet), Sequence, Human Task, Switch (Choice), Template (not shown), Terminate, Throw, Variable, Wait, While (While loop) |
| Business object map editor (CEI only) | Map, Transformation (all kinds) |
| Business rule group editor (CEI only) | Operation |
| Business state machine editor (CEI only) | Action, Entry, Exit, Guard, State, State Machine Definition (State Machine), Timer, Transition |
| Human task editor (CEI and Audit Log) | Escalation, Task, Task Template (not shown) |
| Interface map editor (CEI only) | Operation Binding, Parameter mediation (all kinds) |
| Selector editor (CEI only) | Operation |
