Event Replicator Target Adapter Administration Overview

Use the Event Replicator Target Adapter Administration tool to configure your Event Replicator Target Adapter or Adabas Analytics Collector MF installations. This can be multiple installations for different versions and/or different machines.

For each target adapter configured for administration, you can use it to:

  • Set up Event Replicator Target Adapter processing preferences. These preferences identify, among other things, the location of the context.xml file used to store the Event Replicator Target Adapter definitions, the locations of the Event Replicator Target Adapter startup and shutdown commands, and the location of the Event Replicator Target Adapter log files.

    Warning:
    We do not recommend that you alter Event Replicator Target Adapter definitions in the context.xml file using a text editor or any editor other than the Event Replicator Target Adapter Administration tool. If you do, errors may result.

  • Configure the target definitions for your installation. Target definitions define the RDBMS data base or other types of targets to which the Event Replicator Target Adapter should direct the replicated data. For more information, read Configuring Target Definitions for Event Replicator Target Adapter.

  • Set up any target processing option definitions needed for Event Replicator Target Adapter processing. Target database processing option definitions specify options regarding how the Event Replicator Target Adapter processes the data submitted to the target. For more information, read Specifying Target Database Processing Options

  • Configure the source definitions for your installation. Source definitions define the messaging system to be used (webMethods EntireX or WebSphere MQ) and associated target definition to which the Event Replicator Target Adapter should direct the replicated data acquired from the source definition. For more information, read Configuring Source Definitions for Event Replicator Target Adapter.

  • Configure any filter definitions for Event Replicator Target Adapter processing. For more information, read Specifying Filter Definitions

For each Adabas Analytics Collector MF configured for administration, you can use it to:

  • Set up Adabas Analytics Collector MF processing preferences. These preferences identify, among other things, the location of the EAPConfig.xml file used to store the Adabas Analytics Collector MF definitions.

    Warning:
    We do not recommend that you alter Adabas Analytics Collector MF definitions in the EAPConfig.xml file using a text editor or any editor other than the Event Replicator Target Adapter Administration tool. If you do, errors may result.

  • Configure the target definitions for your installation. Target definitions define the Elasticsearch targets to which the Adabas Analytics Collector MF should direct the data. For more information, read Configuring Target Definitions for Adabas Analytics Collector MF.

  • Configure the source definitions for your installation. Source definitions define the messaging system to be used (webMethods EntireX or WebSphere MQ) or the Event Replicator Target Adapter JMX bean and associated target definition to which the Adabas Analytics Collector MF should direct the data acquired from the source definition. For more information, read Configuring Source Definitions for Adabas Analytics Collector MF.
