Apama correlators are the core event processing and correlation engines for Apama applications. This section describes how to start and manage correlators using the EMM console. You can also start and manage correlators using Apama command line utilities; for more information on this, see Correlator Utilities Reference.

This topic describes how to use the EMM menu items to carry out operations on Apama correlators. However, all these operations can also be carried out from the context menus in the Navigation Pane, and the most useful are also available on the toolbar.

Before operations can be carried out on these components, a Sentinel Agent must be installed and running on the target host, and the EMM console must have been configured to manage that host, as detailed in Managing hosts.
