Administering Event Routing

Important: To administer Event Routing within your Software AG installation, you need to have installed the Platform Manager plug-in for Event Routing, as well as the Platform Manager plug-ins for the respective products, for example webMethods Event Persistence or Software AG Universal Messaging.

The Platform Manager plug-in for Event Routing enables you to configure routes that determine the event flow through your system, as well as specify different values for various parameters, such as Event Type Store location.

Using Command Central, you can also configure services of Universal Messaging and Event Persistence type, group those services together, and associate event types to them. You can also configure a service within the group to serve as source and/or destination for events of a particular type.

Important: In case your event-driven environment contains applications that use the JMS capabilities of Integration Server (or the JMS protocol in general) to send and receive events of a particular EDA event type, and you create applications that use Event Routing to send and receive events of the same EDA event type, the respective JNDI entries might not be created correctly in the Universal Messaging server for the two application types to work. As a workaround, open a command line prompt in Software AG_directory \common\lib, and run the event-routing-jms-util.jar utility. This will ensure the JNDI entries and topics have been created in your Universal Messaging server. For more information about how to run the utility, see the readme file in event-routing-jms-util.jar.
