Receiving events from CEI

In IBM® Business Monitor, you can choose to receive events from the inbound Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) server using two different transport types: JMS (queue-based) and table-based (also known as queue bypass).

About this task

Queue-based event delivery uses Java Messaging Service (JMS) to deliver events from CEI to the monitor model. Table-based event delivery (formerly known as queue bypass) uses a database table to deliver events from CEI to the monitor model.

With table-based event delivery, the work can be distributed among multiple cluster members. Additionally, the event flow skips the JMS queue of the monitoring model and directs all events into the event database table of the model. For most environments, this method improves performance by avoiding a persistence step that is required by the JMS queue. Other benefits of the table-based methods are that you no longer have to configure the service integration bus and link when receiving events from a remote cell, and you can rebuild earlier models to use this method.
