About the Event Service and Event Data

The Event Service that is integrated with MashZone NextGen allows MashZone NextGen to connect to the Event Bus for Software AG and subscribe to events published by other Software AG applications.

The Event Bus handles events published by event producers which may be a variety of Software AG applications. It routes events as they are published to event consumers, such as MashZone NextGen, who have subscribed to specific event types.

MashZone NextGen also uses the Event Service to connect to Apama and to subscribe to and work with events from scenarios (also sometimes called dataviews). Apama scenarios have event data that has been specifically transformed for use in dashboards.

For MashZone NextGen, each Event Bus or Apama subscription feeds an event source which is managed by the Event Service. Event sources receive events for subscriptions, store them in memory and act as the data source for the corresponding EDA, DES, or Apama event.

Use Events as Information Sources

To use events as information sources, you must create EDA, DES, or Apama event sources. Unlike other sources, only MashZone NextGen administrators can create EDA, DES and Apama event sources for other users to work with.

To create these sources, administrators must:

1. For EDA event source Identify the Event Type Store directory. This defines the types of events that are available for subscriptions from the EDA event source.

2. For DES event source, Identify the DES repository directory. This defines the types of events that are available for subscriptions from the DES event source.

3. Create event sources as needed. MashZone NextGen retrieves event data from these event sources when users run the corresponding EDA, DES or Apama event source. If views for the event source are real-time views, events are pushed to the view automatically.
