The Event File Converter

The Adabas nucleus creates the Adabas event log files NUCELG.xxxx if the Adabas Eventing functionality is enabled. The Adabas Analytics event file converter reads an Adabas event log file and sends it to the Apama Correlator, where the events can be processed like any other Apama event, and displayed in an Apama monitor or in an Apama Correlator dashboard.

Note:
The Adabas Analytics file converter and the Apama Correlator can be running on the same node or on distributed nodes.
