WebSphere Business Events format

The WebSphere Business Events (XML) format is based on XML in the version 2.2 format recognized by the Decision Server Events component of IBM® Operational Decision Manager. This format can also be used by any consumer that can recognize the WebSphere Business Events (XML) format.

You specify the event format you want to use by using the event binding editor. For more information about adapter properties and supported formats, see Specifying EP adapter and dispatcher information.

This code fragment shows the format emitted if you select WebSphere Business Events (XML) format in the Event binding editor. Fields later in this section in braces {} are those derived from either the captured event or the CICS® region on which the event was captured.
