Adaptive Action Manager handlers

The Adaptive Action Manager includes action handlers that invoke services when it receives a situation event. Situation events are defined in WebSphere® Business Modeler. When the events are triggered, they are sent by the Observation Manager to the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) where the Adaptive Action Manager processes the events. Each action handler is then called to initiate the associated action services within the Adaptive Action Manager.

The Adaptive Action Manager obtains configuration information for each action handler from the action catalog service. Action handlers are responsible for executing action services. The following types of action handlers are supported:

An executable action is an internal entity specific to the Adaptive Action Manager. It is created by a combination of a Common Base Event, an action handler, and a template. For example, an e-mail handler consumes a Common Base Event and a template to send an e-mail. The template identifier contains e-mail-related information, such as subject, addressees, body, and variables. The e-mail handler substitutes those variables with values from the Common Base Event data.
